property for glideslope

Postby Liesl » Fri Jul 10, 2015 9:15 am

Hey Guys,

I am trying to connect some HW to my FG Simulation and want to include a button which makes the aircraft lock to the Glideslope.

As there is no proper documentation about all the properties, I wanted to ask, if one of you knows, which property to change to activate the GS-Mode.

Thanks in advance!

Ultimately it depends on the autopilot of the aircraft and which property it uses to enable the glideslope controller (if present). It's usually done by setting "autopilot/locks/altitude" to "gs1-hold". That's what the generic autopilot dialog, generic key bindings and generic autopilot use.
