Can some please make...

Hello:

Can someone please make a LUA script for FSUIPC7 to act as a speed hold (cheat)? There are some airplanes I love flying but I don't always have the time to sit at the computer.  The one in the FSUIPC causes the throttle to spool up/down way to frequently.

 

Thanks!

This would be a very complex lua script as it would basically have to implement the IAS hold function of an auto-pilot. Why don't you just use an auto-pilot?
If the aircraft you are using does not have an auto-pilot (or the AP doesn't have an IAS-hold feature, which is not all that useful in prop aircraft IMHO), you could look into using the ATIasHold. freeware program - see 

- main web page here: http://www.intrasystem.it/ATIas/ATIasHold.html :
    - ATIasHold: Hold the Speed with any Airplane. No need of any Autopilot. Using only the Engine Pressure.

Maybe also see this thread - it is for FSX but still applicable: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?220563-Autopilot-Airspeed-Hold

Much appreciated.  I wasn't thinking of an autothrottle,  Just something that would hold a speed.

But isn't that the same...how else would you maintain airspeed other than using the throttle (with maintaining the same altitude...)...
