Hey Mr. Toto,

I don't have any issues with the GPU (or APU), it takes several seconds to get running...
If I have some time this week, I'll see what I can find out about the NAV button issue you have.
Don't recall having problems with that myself, but if I can, I'll try to figure it out later this week.

On the AP panel itself, NAV is selected with the TRACK switch. I only use the AP popup panel so don't know if any of the keyboard commands work or not.
You really should read the manual on the use of the autopilot as it is a little bit more involved than the default autopilots in FSX. And I still struggle to get the AP to work sometimes.
But to help you along...
1. Turn on Power switch
2. Make sure 'A, R, E' switches are on (up) (mine are alway off for some reason?)
3. If you turn on Engage now, that will just hold your current Attitude, which can be adjust with the Bank and Pitch knobs.
4. Use the Nav Mode Select switch to select either Hdg, GPS, or VOR/ILS 1/2 (this assumes you've also set your heading bug, have a GPS flight plan running, or have a VOR dialed in)
5. Turn on Engage if you haven't already done so, then turn on the TRACK switch and the plane should start navigating properly. (keep those fingers crossed!!!)

Hey,

seems you got the answer before I had the time to check it in FSX.
Can't seem to find the command to get the AP in the track function however.

Hey Mr. Toto,

I also have problems with model 10.
Discovered them when making repaints for the Belgian Air Component, which uses the 'H'
I asked CS about it, by using customer support tickets,
and they answered it would be looked after in the next SP.
Hope that ever comes lol
Also solved it by using the model 9 (C-130 H French) or the C-130 E (model 0)
