Route Manager for C337 and Seneca II

Is it possible to add the Route Manager (like the one for the Linceau) to the Seneca II and the Cessna 337P?

Hi,
In the FG Cessna 337 route manager wouldn't be a sensible feature as it is equipped with a simple but fully working early seventies' autopilot Navomat 400 (see http://wiki.flightgear.org/Cessna_337G_ ... matic_400A ) which doesn't have any FD mode.

Maybe it is the same in the Seneca II, in the few occasions I tried this aircraft the autopilot functions seemed to be quite similar.

Install and check out the latest Ryan Navion version. In default it uses the Bendix Kap140/kns80 system. However, WoodDTokk has kindly
added an option for using the FlightGear generic autopilot and route manager. Under Ryan Navion in top menu "Toggle autopilot Kap140/Generic"
to switch from the Bendix to the generic system. Easy to use and preforms well.

KAP140 is no longer working when I did Ctrl C all the buttons are yellow. When I press the AP button it sounds as though it's working, however none of the other buttons work and there is no data on screen. I was using it to check a function of the AP on take off.
