Autopilot

Postby Squeek » Tue Mar 09, 2004 6:36 pm

Hey guys,
I was recently doing some flying around, but anyway to the point, I was un able to get the aircraft to "lock onto" the ILS, I was looking though the autopilot part of the CFG file and I could bearly make sence of it. Anyway, dose anyone know the line for the approch hold, as near as i can tell this plane dosent have it, nor could i locate it in any other ones.

Approach the ILS from below.
The [Autopilot] of each acft shows functions.
See nav panel for A/P functions in acft.
No lock either above GS or ILS not available or set in VOR.

Hang on, what? are you talking about inside the plane itself (aka while flying) for in the CFG?
