default_bank_mode = 0 broken

I am only enabling the ap master and using the correct cfg settings and the bank keeps holding the current heading. What is wrong?

default_pitch_mode = 0
default_bank_mode = 0
use_no_default_bank = 1
use_no_default_pitch = 1

or

default_pitch_mode = 0
default_bank_mode = 0
use_no_default_bank = 1
use_no_default_pitch = 1

This is similar to my issue with pitch mode not settable.

Hello @Flysimware

Are you seeing the correct simvar values but incorrect behaviour or simvars are not correct either?

What avionics are you using?
This is important as avionics can have some conflicting actions.

Regards,
Sylvain

I forgot to mention the default C152 does the same as it also uses these same cfg values. And the 747 too. So this odd if this is not something you do not see on your end. Please confirm on those aircraft.

Simvar is not showing any bank modes enabled so good there. For avionics I am using the TOGGLE_AVIONICS_MASTER event.

Hello @Flysimware

Default C152? It does not have an AP as far as I know.
So do you mean "default C152" that you have edited to enable the AP and set default modes?

On the 747, the default bank mode is set to NONE and therefore the bank hold is disabled but enabling the AP will activate the Heading hold mode that uses the same PIDs. (you can see this in the Debug->Aircraft->AP devmode window)

I'm not sure to understand, what modes do you want to be active when setting the master AP on in your aircraft?

Regards,
Sylvain

Hello @Flysimware


Ok, the SW121 is a good example.

You are right, roll PID seems to be evaluated despite no roll AP modes being active.

I will forward this case to core sim developers and this will be reviewed.

There is no workaround in the meantime I'm afraid.

Regards,
Sylvain
