Helicopter Autopilots

Postby MOUSY » Sun Sep 03, 2006 9:47 pm

I'm not a panel or aircraft designer but I do have a slight knowledge on how to add guages and manipulate there positions on a panel. However, I have downloaded a Pavelow MH-53 copter, the one used in Tom Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger" if anyone has read the book and in the book it describes how the chopper makes use of an autopilot to skim the mountain tops during covert operations.
However I have never seen or DLed any copter with autopliot abilites in its panel (ex. HDG hold, SPD hold, etc.) and I would really like to get a suitable panel with these functions or be at least able to add the autopilot buttons so frequently seen on most plane panels. Could any body guide me as to how i could find those group of buttons to add? Greatly appreciated...

I hope this helps because it's the only one I've ever seen.

Search for 'Antti Pankkonen' here (SimV) as well as other download sites.

Many of his models as well as models by other include his autopilot.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Looks good.  I think I'll try that one myself.
