Taking notes of your suggestions @DeathPantsX, problems you are having with the speed knob and the up and down arrow is that they are not properly tootilped since asobo changed the tooltip system.
Also checked the problem with VNAV coming active by surprise. the problem is not that it is activated by surprise: it is activated because accidentally if you are not careful changing the speed from the knob, you activate the managed speed (that is, you are pressing the up arrow, and this is happening because the camera is not fixed but in motion while your mouse cursor is not, and you are pressing up arrow without noticing). What I will do is limit the knob to change only the speed, and let VNAV swap between managed and selected speeds.
For the next update i also have repaired the way the buttons: TO, CRUISE and LDG works: LDG will turn on the Track mode, but you will be able to return to HDG mode if you want, and not like now which is imperative. CRUISE mode will enable HDG mode but you will be able to select track mode if you want the Velocity vector in cruise too.
About the autopilot bank angle, yes you are right, the aircraft has a max bank of 65 degrees in autopilot but i can create an automax bank let say 25-35 degrees for low speeds if that helps (open to suggestions).
About the autopilot response… unfortunatedly is something related to PID values and is not something easy to configure and its values varies depending the aircraft Weight, MOI, speed, etc… so change a PID parameter value could affect negatively another PID parameter . Following a glideslope vertically or horizontal according to the actual f-14, in ILS or ACLS mode there may be a percentage deviation that may require small manual corrections, but not abrupt or the AP would disconnect or go crazy. Also, it is not recommended to activate the localizer or approach mode if it is not within 120 degrees heading range, otherwise You may use backcourse, but it would need external keybinding.
The magic button ACLS is there just to assure everything required for ILS is activated and maintained during the procedure, but that doesn’t mean being imperative to activate it if you activate things separatedly. anyway if it is generating any confusion between users I can limit the functions that it activates.
There is one thing that I have noticed in your ILS landing and is that you are pending to deactivate autothrottle manually before landing, however, if you go in approach mode with AThrottle activated, it deactivates at 80 feet radio altitude so that you can control the throttle manually ( if and only if approach Mode is activated, you will have to disable manually while not APP mode, that’s one of the reasons for the magic button).
I understand your frustrations with VSpeed, but I’ve checked it out and I promise you it works, but it won’t in VNAV or FLC mode. You also have to preset an altitude to be able to use it (MSFS does not allow VSpeed to be used without a target altitude).
I have to congratulate you on the video, it is amazing. and I take note of your suggestions. In a real f-14, it is the RIO that can enter the flight plans into a CDNU for the f-14B (left console and similar to 747 FMC). However the gtn-750 mod is perfectly suited for the purpose. Fully recommended.
