Hi Syd, I just updated my fgdata and I noticed that the change you mentioned (in your message below) is not yet in de git repos. Should it not be in? Apart from that little remark, I can still not get the Aerostar700 AP to hold altitude. I have set the altitude on the dashbaord, armed it,

Just to chime in here with a me too, the altitude hold on the Rascal110 also seems to be broke. Something seems to be overriding the target altitude values and/or the mode selection, so the F11 autopilot dialog can't control these. Similar problem with target airspeed. The wing leveler and

Hi Torsten (and others), I noticed that the autopilot on the Aerostar700 keeps climbing, despite what I set the AP to. I was trying to level out at FL120, but the AP was happily climbing to almost FL200 when I disabled it. Is this in the new code or in the plane? m

In the Citation II, the AP seems to level off at around 24000ft, while it is set for 3ft. Pressure set is 2992. Also, initially I set the AP for an ALT of 35000. While climbing at around 22000 I changed the setting to 3ft. The plane went into a dive and decended to below 2ft. I

These I have sorted by re-arranging the order of include file calls. There may be a better solution, and perhaps my solution will not work on other platforms. This was due to the missing include of config.h. A very common pitfall for linux developers. Should be fixed now. Once it all
