Flight Question DG-S Atmospheric Autopilot

[HHM]

My deltaglider's autopilot isn't stable.

When the DG-S has reached the desired heading and altitude, the heading oscillates around the desired value. So the DG performs ocillations around the roll-axis.

Does anybody know, how to stabilise the autopilot?

What delta-glider autopilot? The one built into the DG? A third party one?

You say DG-S so I assume you mean the scram version of the default DG?

What heading, speed and altitude are you setting? Is it the same for all you've tried or have you only tried one setting?

Details, details!

Well, I guess it's the default AP. So, that one has an error, search for a better one on these forums, I'll try to find a thread I've seen about an hour ago.

Here it is! See the fifth post in the thread, Mogeley posted a better version that should work, but I haven't tried it.

Thank You, that is the solution.

Can You give me a link to a documentation where I can see how to edit and to compile the script?

It's easy. Go to your main Orbiter directory, and go to the Scripts folder inside it. You'll see several folders, go to AAP. There should be a file inside. Open it with Notepad, delete everything inside it and put what Mogeley posted inside. It should work! :thumbup:

Yes, it works! I tried it.
