Just tried another quick test. Opened five property browsers - autopilot/locks, autopilot/settings, autopilot/internal, autopilot/FCS/locks & autopilot/FCS/controls - all seemed ok but then I pre-set most of the nodes during aircraft initialisation. On this test the altitude hold failed to work. The altitude hold controller reads the filtered target alt and outputs to autopilot/settings/target-climb-rate-fps. When the altitude hold controller was engaged it failed to update the target climb rate. Agl hold, which also outputs to the same target climb rate node in autopilot/settings, was ok and I could see the node being updated. I switched back to altitude hold and forced a climb by over-typing a +ve climb rate into the non-updating node. Once I got to around 10k ft I reset the A/P and the climb rate started updating. The roll modes were all ok on this test. LeeE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
