"Disable Autopilot" eh? Bring it on!

[PRB]

The plot thickens!

LOL Moses.. the "disable Autopilot' function was also in last year's update (r120) so...


Just installed r131 and ran a test flight. All seemed OK except in the data on the tracking site.
Flight time: 0:27:31 [hh:mm:ss]
Flight distance: 88.8 nm
Point-to-point distance: 39.6 nm
Max. altitude: 4,492.4 ft
Max. ground speed: 124.3 kts
Avg. ground speed: 193.5 kts
Max. indicated speed: 119.6 kts

I've passed this on to the rest of the Committee to look at.

Just to add, had a mishap dumping excess passengers ,(no, they didn't get chutes)
Duenna went red, as I was never one to mess with fuel/payload inflight but as docs says dumping fuel is 'ok' I gave it a try.
RED Duenna- SO NEVER mess with fuel/payload pages inflight.

[RFields]

Did you use a fuel dump gauge?

Those have not caused problems with Duenna in the past, but changing the fuel or payload in flight is supposed to trigger a Duenna error.

We can examine the Duenna text file to see if it was an illegal error.

Always remember that just because a Duenna reports a violation, before declaring a flight invalid, the text file needs to be examined.

[MaddogK]

No worrys, it was stupid of me to mess with payload inflight, but makes me wonder if I can reproduce the error by dropping full tanks. I've gotten too comfortable with Duenna I guess.
