Heading Bug 777-200ER

Postby polly » Fri Nov 05, 2010 6:23 pm

The heading bug doesn't work for me, since about a month or so. I think it used to be controlled by property: instrumentation/afds/settings/hdg but lately ( yesterday's GIT clone ) changing that property still changes the digital readout on the A/P panel but the heading bug doesn't follow the HDG/TRK setting and the A/P no longer seems to work in heading mode. I've seen the same problem on Citation Bravo and on Citation - X , the heading bug and A/P Hdg hold still seem OK on eg the c310. Is there a new property that must be changed in tandem with the old one, please ? Tks.

The autopilot on the 777, CitationX, etc., is currently broken; you need to reference the "generic autopilot" helper files to get it working properly. See here for the fix.
