Panel Tinkering

Postby Rich H » Tue Jun 24, 2008 2:50 pm

Well, I was trying to get my freeware space shuttle into space, but I lost control, or ran out of speed at about 150,00 ft. And I was thinking: "Wouldn't it be easier to let autopilot do all this?" But the problem is, the autopilot only goes up to 99,999 feet, rather than 999,999. Is there any way you can change the autopilot, e.g. change the default 737 one? Does anyone know where I can get one?

Slew mode allows you to move your aircraft's position, heading, and attitude without actually flying ;)

Wow, thanks to slew I'm at 40,000 knots and am at 270,00 feet. And now circling over the North Pole.
