Hi Jim, I was the one who asked this question but when i tried to implement the solution it resulted in the same flight behaviour. I will detail the changes i implemented so you can see if i did anything incorrectly.
1) I changed, in file Aircraft/c172/c172-610x-null-set.xml, <path>Aircraft/c172/610x-autopilot.xml</path> to <path>Aircraft/Generic/generic-autopilot.xml</path> 2) I call the program passing in aircraft=c172. When a waypoint is added the plane still flys in circles and does not fly towards the waypoint, Seamus On Thu, 20 May 2004, Jim Wilson wrote: > Just change the autopilot back to the "generic" version in the *-set.xml file. > This was answered within the last couple of weeks but maybe it was someone > else asking the same question. > > Best, > > Jim > > > Seamus Thomas Carroll said: > > > I went out of town for a coulple of weeks and looking through my list of > > emails i dont think a recieved a response to the question below.
