I'm looking for an aircraft with a Century III autopilot. Any ideas? I'm indifferent between single engine or twin...Thanks

I believe Flight1 is selling an add-on Century autopilot. Have a look here:http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=triden

There is a Century 4 autopilot in the new Just Flight Beech Duchess, if that helps.Al

It should be noted that the Duchess Century autopilot is not completely functional and has operational differences from the real unit.

Yup, that's true. I can't say I've checked for sure, but I imagine it is a visual front end on the default FS autopilot rather than a tour-de-force attempt to simulate the real thing.That said, it's enough for me, and apart from the button illuminations, which I think need a tweak in the visuals, it's not a bad stab at it. Especially considering the price of that Duchess, which is a hell of a lot of bang for not very many bucks at all. So it does offer a way to get something which at least looks like that autopilot for very little outlay, in addition to getting a very pretty and flyable aeroplane (in both FSX and FS9) of course.Al

Yeah-I agree the Duchess is great. I have been wanting a real working Century IV along with some other things like a real working stormscope and in Doug's case a Century III for a long time. Aside from missing functions it should glow like this when lit up-not white.

I've had a go at altering the artwork of Century AP in the Duchess to make it look more like the real thing because I was not happy with the visual feedback it gave you and I thought it was difficult to determine what was selected the way it was, so now mine looks like this:Al
