Made a couple of flights using AP, and everything works fine here too. Used alt hold, hdg hold, turning with hdg hold, nav hold (using VOR's) and app mode (using ILS)... no problems at all... Lars

Lars - I had one question for you.  If you activate only the 'aileron master' switch (leave the elevator master switch off) can you control the pitch of the aircraft using the yoke?

As I understand it, you are supposed to be able to set the aileron master to hold your heading or stay on the localizer while you adjust pitch manually with the yoke.  On my machine the CS 727 AP doesn't work that way though...when I flip the aileron master it instantly locks my pitch attitude as well, with the elevator master off.

I've submitted a ticket, but in the mean time I tweaked the xml part of my 2D autopilot gauge and can now operate the autopilot elevator master switch  to control pitch independently, the way it is supposed to work...unfortunately haven't figured out how to get the elevator master switch indication to be right in any mode other than 'manual'. When I hit altitude hold the elevator master switches 'off' even though it is still on technically because it is holding altitude!

Wish I knew how to program in C++   :D

Could be something specific to my setup, but I hope it is addressed in the next update.
