How to add altitude hold

Featured Replies

I would like to add ap altitude hold to Ant's Tiger Moth.I like keeping it level but it would be nice to be lazy sometimes.I copied the radio stack etc from C172 but AP won't turn on when I hit the switch.Any suggestions?Thanks,Ron

I would think you would have to add an electrical and avionics bus to the a/c cfg. in order to get the autopilot to work.

Thanks for the response.Can you be more specific on how to do this?I tried copying the electrical part from the C172.cfg and that did not work.I copied the radio stack etc first.Here is my electric from .cfg "[electrical] ;BusType, MaxAmpLoad, MinVoltage BusTypes:0=MainBus,1=AvionicsBus,2=BatteryBus,3=HotBatteryBus,4-7=Generator/AlternatorBus(1-4) max_battery_voltage = 12generator_alternator_voltage = 12autopilot = 0, 5 , 17.0avionics_bus = 0, 5 , 9.0avionics = 1, 5 , 9.0starter1 = 3, 0, 0.0light_panel = 0, 5 , 5.0light_cabin = 0, 5 , 5.0What else do I have to do?Thanks,Ron

Hey,Ron....Look in your aircraft.cfg for an [autopilot] section...Should look like this..[autopilot]autopilot_available=1flight_director_available=1default_vertical_speed=1800autothrottle_available=1autothrottle_arming_required=1autothrottle_max_rpm = 90autothrottle_takeoff_ga=1Will have more entries than this but you get the idea...Be sure that the "autopilot_available=1" is "1" (0=off,1=on) HTH..Lou N1472Q
