I am using a JR XF622 computer radio to fly the standard raptor on AFP. Normal flight mode works fine.
What I need help with is properly setting up the throttle hold for autos. When the throttle hold switch is activated, my throttle does indeed go to idle (I have it programmed in the radio to 5%). But I have NO control over the collective. Switching back to normal flight mode, the collective works again.
In the Expert Controls panel, here is my setup:
Collective: Ch. 1 (throttle stick)
Cyclic: Ch. 3 (elevator)
Roll: Ch. 2 (aileron)
Tailrotor: Ch. 4 (rudder)
Engine/Autorotation:
line 1: Ch. 1
line 2: Ch. 6 (throttle hold switch)
line 3: not assigned ???
As I understand it, these 3 lines all go to engine/autorotation? What am I missing here?
Thanks for the help!

This is how my set up works with engine / autorotation set to throttle channel 3(engine).
This is the reply when asked the question from AFP chief programmer:-
Dear Neil,
Did you use the EXPERT settings or the EASY SETTINGS?
To set up your radio with aerofly pro?
Independent throttle and pitch only works in EXPERT setting!
In EXPERT setting check if the MOTOR channel for the helicopter
(Not the MOTOR 1 to 4 for the airplane!) move correctly if you
move your channel 3.

Torsten Hans
