MH-60, Autopilot Crew hover
How is it possible to hover with -20 degree pitch attitude using CREW HVR auto pilot mode? No way by any physics law. It should be corrected.
Miltech Simulations @MiltechSimulationsThis shouldn’t occur - normal hover attitude is 5 deg up.
Did you use slew mode before hover autopilot modes? We have noticed this may affect autopilot scripts.
Start a new flight and try again - should work as espected.

Negative, never use slew mode. Tried again and you can see attitude in link.
Miltech Simulations @MiltechSimulationsThere is a clear discrepancy between pitch angle and trim position. See how the trim indicator on your screenshot is 65% up, while the nose is down. This would indicate conflicting inputs on your side.
Autopilot uses TRIM along longitudinal and lateral axes to control the attitude of the aircraft. However, Trim is only effective if cyclic is close to neutral.
Is your cyclic inputting pitch while in hover? is it self-centering or non-centering hardware?
- SSaša Kovačević @sasa
Cyclic was about neutral postition. I use good old Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback and Honeycomb Bravo just for some buttons right now.
Btw, is there a way to map PCLs and fuel levers to axis on Bravo? I would love that.- Miltech Simulations @MiltechSimulations
PCLs are not currently keybindable, but planned for a future update.
I'm not too sure what may be going on regarding hover, but seems to be most likely a control input conflict. Perhaps due to inaccurate/miscalibrated old hardwar,e resulting in a pitch down input. The AFCS system is clearly fighting back by increasing pitch up, but it isn't sufficient to keep the attitude.

Thanks anyway, ita not a big issue, I mostly use baro alt on longer routes.
You can see me in Africa right now (CS E7SK): https://webeye.ivao.aero/
I love your MH60 it flies nicely.Whatever hardware or conflict it is, heli shouldnt hover in that position-
