James, First off, (it was late last night) let me correct my statement. I am referring to the generic autopilot, not the course manager. It does not seem to have any correlation to the course manager. I'm finding it more specific. Example A - Aircraft : AD-6, F-4N, A-3D, RA-5 Airport : KGFL Runway : 30 Heading bug : 130.94 True Heading : unreadable due to it flipping. Click on the box and sometimes I will get 116.835, the other times I can get 344.532 Alt Hold : 18 - This is unchangable Speed Hold : 120 - This is unchangable I'm not flying each model right now, but previously all other parameters would work (wing leveler, pitch hold, VS hold, etc) So I was thinking it was a jsb relation, but then I tried these same aircraft at KPBG and they work fine. Can it be a navaid issue? The issue will carry forward with you. If you change airports using the "location" menu, the issue will stay, but the numbers will change. If you quit and restart at another airport (that doesn't have an issue such as KPBG) then it works fine. I just tried Gary "Buckaroo" Neeley's new MD-81, which is a very good yasim fdm but has no other interference as a test bed, and it displays the same data issues in Autopilot. Seems like random airports where this shows up. KBGR and KPBG it works fine, but KALB it's there. KALB Aircraft : dh2w, MD-81, 777-200ER Heading bug : 114.421 True Heading : 265.842, or 100.613, depending when you click the box. Alt Hold : 18, unchangable Speed hold : 120, unchangable So that's interesting - the Beaver and MD-81 has no autopilot, and while I don't fly the 777, I assume it does(?).
