Hi Vraa, try to use “Toggle Level Autopilot” (It is key, shift-L or shift-T by default but I do not know it exactly. ) for level lock. But for stright there is nothing. But as for me it is enough.

If you are drifting to one side or the other try using some rudder trim that usually does the trick and if you find you are losing altitude put your combat flaps down and the level autopilot will now keep you level

S! Vraa

When I get up about 1500m, I adjust the trim for elevation, and rudder, so I fly as straight as possible, I can go and make coffe without thinking off my plane :slight_smile:

I think when jusing auto level, it takes alot of time to be stable, but maby it’s me who hasent figured that out yet.

The hard thing anyway is to get it level when finaly getting to target, because that is the place you would like to see your bombsight working :slight_smile:

a got link to some bombguides:

Don’t use autopilot for level flight, use level stabiliser (you will have to map a key to it)

And yes, rudder trim for flying straight (I actually use rudder trim as well for lining up on the target while level stabiliser is on)

I never go bombing high: my preferred technique is going fast and low just ON taget (“Ploesti style”)

Hi

Thaks for the tips, having tehcnical problems right now, but looking forward get to try them.
