customise autopilot bank angle limit.

[ERAU_Hatsune]

As we can see, all planes can only do 20 degrees turn during autopilot is on. However, not all the planes should only do this kind of shallow turn, for example. TBM-930 should be adjusted to 45 degrees, at least. All fighter aircraft should be at least 60 degrees, 70 is better. So I think that this function should be an option in the settings. I don’t think I need a photo to show so I just put down the description.

Autopilots are mostly set for 1 standard rate turn, meaning 360 degrees in 2 minutes. Some have an option for half rate turns.
The bank angle depends on your True Airspeed, not aircraft type and so on.

Quick formula to figure out the bank angle for one rate turn is
Bank angle = TAS/10 + 7

There have been a few of these requested already. I would probably vote for those before doing a new one.

Bank Angle Selector

I think this would be a really cool thing to add to infinite Flight. For those of you who don’t know what it is, basically you turn a little dial and it limits how far the aircraft can bank on an autopilot turn. It would make flying more realistic, because we wouldn’t always have to do 25° turns. What do you all think?

Increasing Bank Angle When Autopilot Is Engaged

[IMG_0589] Hey y’all, here is a suggestion of mine and I would like your opinion. I have noticed when I am controlling approach or center, and I give someone a heading to turn to, I always wish that the autopilots would turn sharper than 20 degrees. This would increase the rate of turn so they arrive to the assigned heading faster than normal. Now, being a pilot in real life, I understand that a steep turn at higher altitudes when cruising at faster air speeds is not realistic, or safe. So he…

Alright thanks, please close my thread.
