Hi Guys!

I got a question that I just don't know where to post it, so decided to do it here...hope U can help me

How do I add an AP into a a/c that don't have it?
See, I've inserted the radio stack into Antonov An-10 cos her AP won't work, but still no AP working....what am I suppose to do??

thanx in advance!

cya!

Hi Foo. Just a thought. Check out the AIR file of that An 10. Make sure the AP is enabled under sections 317 & 329.

Thanks pal!!

I'll check it ASAP!!!

thanks!!!

cya!

still no good

The .air file has those sections in it, but the aircraft.cfg file overrides the .air file if they have different entries.

Here's the section you want to modifiy, from the default 747 in FS2002:

[autopilot]
autopilot_available=1
flight_director_available=1
default_vertical_speed=1800.0
autothrottle_available=1
autothrottle_arming_required=1
autothrottle_max_rpm=90
autothrottle_takeoff_ga=1
pitch_takeoff_ga=8

I think you can guess which ones to change, but I'll tell you anyway:  activate the autopilot by changing autopilot_available from 0 to 1.  The rest are optional, so I would check other aircraft.cfg from aircraft of the same general type.  You could also copy that section of the .cfg over to the aircraft you are trying to modify.
