	for the record, overall im very happy with it and really the AP is a medium sized issue (specially when it comes to marketplace, many will end up complaining about this issue), and really a super easy fix. but it doesnt take away from it for me. still amazing to fly all over in.

	It can't even follow the HDG selector.

	I figured out what I was doing wrong in the manual start, and got it running, taxied out, took off, and the auto pilot worked just fine so the death roll problem is in the ctrl+E command

	$40 plane should have no A/P issues regardless of how you start the plane. Whether you start on RWY with engines running. Press Crtl + E on stand or follow the in-game checklist (which is wrong and if followed, you will end up losing all your engines after start).

	Is anyone besides myself having the HSI randomly swapping to a new course every few minutes. I think I saw one other person with this issue. CaptainSim hasn't acknowledged if he was looking into it or not.

	I managed to capture the glide slope. Put the rotary switch on the centre pedestal to AFF. Make sure you are below the GS with Altitude hold on. When the aircraft captures the GS the altitude hold disengages and the aircraft descends on the GS. Hope that helps.

	Good day, When I change the weight by adding more fuel the engines cut down engine power, cannot take off . I can only fly with less then 40% fuel .

	I can confirm that it does capture the glide slope when the autopilot switch is set to FSS

Untill then the temporary fix is the Bleed Air switches must be ON for all the eingines.

	Good day, I bought the c130 for fs2020 and it looks good. However, it is difficult to find the right mouse control for the spacious cockpit. However, the autopilot altitude does work, but not by controlling my Logitech/Saitec Pro Flight Multi panel. Does anyone know a solution for this?

	After testing I have found that a profile I was using with SPAD appears to be making the HSI jump radials every few minutes. After dropping all addons and it still happening I shut off SPAD and it stuck where I set it. Once I restarted SPAD the radial jump. Creating a blank profile leave it alone. Resetting up all the controls it's still rock solid. So not sure what in the other profile (a generic one I use for multiple turbo props) is making it do it. But sourced the issue now......SO much nicer to fly now!

	@Double There's no key stroke for altitude hold you have to click on the switch on the center consul the the right of the on off switch. I'm hoping that the keys will be added in an update.

	There is another non functioning ADF which should be standard on this H type. At this time I can’t get it to function. Don’t know if it is not simulated? Andreas

If I follow the Checklist, the engines start (I never thought to look at the Checklist for the first half dozen flights I did, so I used CTRL+E).
