FGData/Aircraft/Generic/generic-autopilot.xml

But why you would want it is another question :)

it might make sense to review the corresponding docs on the wiki and add such info there if it isn't already there.
Please don't send support requests by PM, instead post your questions on the forum so that all users can contribute and benefit

I had a peculiar issue where a code block was stopping the autopilot ( the standard one ) for working. I now created a hybrid autopilot file which contains the autopilot + the other code block, now everything is working happy again.

Well,
you just do this in your -set:

Code: Select all
         <autopilot n="2">
            <path>Aircraft/IDG-A32X/Systems/fbw-drivers.xml</path>
         </autopilot>


autopilot n 0 is generic-ap, n 1 is helpers. Then it will work. Your entry was likely overwriting those.

Kind Regards,
Josh

It is the correct approach, and it should work if you do it right.
