autopilot and causes the autopilot to maintain the altitude
commanded by the flight controls at the time the autopilot
was engaged. This command only operates if realistic
avionics are selected.
SimRightAPMid Refers to the rightmost pitch mode autopilot control switch
on the MISC panel. This command places the switch in the
A/P OFF (middle) position. This command disengages the
autopilot. This command only operates if realistic avionics
are selected.
SimRightAPDown Refers to the rightmost pitch mode autopilot control switch
on the MISC panel. This command places the switch in the
ATT HOLD (up) position. This command engages the
autopilot and causes the autopilot to maintain the pitch
attitude commanded by the flight controls at the time the
autopilot was engaged. This command only operates if
realistic avionics are selected. NB: in the actual F-16 the
physical switch for this control is spring-loaded to center
and is magnetically held to the up or down position. When
the autopilot encounters conditions that prevent its
continued operation (excessive pitch or roll that exceed its
limits for example), releasing the magnetic hold on this
switch centers it and disengages the autopilot. With the
current Falcon4 implementation, it would appear that the
pitch ATT HOLD position can only be selected if the roll
mode switch is in the center position. With the roll mode
switch in any other position the pitch mode switch will
appear not to go into the down position but in fact it is
merely centering again instantly. This may not be correct
relative to how the real jet operates. This is under
investigation with “authoritative sources” ;-)
SimAPOverride Added in eRazor executables. HOTAS control stick paddle
switch.
SimWarnReset SP3 command.
SimReticleSwitch SP3 command.
SimReticlePri Refers to the depressible reticle control on the HUD panel.
This command places the switch in the PRI (middle)
position. The primary depressible reticle used for manual
bomb delivery is displayed in the HUD. This command is
only operable if realistic avionics are selected.
