Wessex Hover

Post by dswanson »

Hi,

I've been playing in the Wessex - very good but is there a key stroke to turn the hover on and off ? It's a bit of a faff with the mouse.

I've tried various fs9 key sequences but can't find one that works.

Anyone know please ?
Regards,

Degsy

This is Antti Pankonen autopilot and hover gauge and as far as I know doesn't have any keystroke shortcuts. We have posted a link to the instructions on the Simshed website. There's no metion of shortcuts in that

Jim,

The autopilot page shows the autopilot like this:

The Wessex version is a little different (missing the F/TDN & HOV/HT)

The autopilot page also mentions that HAP.GAU, ap1.cfg & ap2.cfg are required which are not present in either of the Wessex packs.

I think i have managed to locate those 3 files in another package but i'm still a little confused about the configuration and using it :worried:

Apologies for the miss-match in supplied AP compared with documented AP. Brian and I are both very old and have our 'senior moments'. I'll endeavour to locate the 'Full' helicopter AP and put a download on the Simshed website...may take a few days though.

Thanks Jim,

I will keep an eye on the Simshed webby

That reminds me, on the frontpage, there is a teaser of a Westland Sea King HAR3. It looks excellent from the picture. Is it progressing well?

Unfortunately not....WIP at the moment is limited to the Dominie and Nimrod...We've sort of fallen into the trap of chasing realism to the nth degree and each project seems to take exponentially longer than the last.
