Baron Autopilot?

[mfchris]

I'm not sure my Baron installed correctly. (or is there a color/version that doesn't have and AP?). Because I can't find mine on the panel... might be just me being ignorant about the plane as I've just bought it but I've been simming since 2002 and can't find it. chris

Should be the second 'box' from the top above the 2 GPS boxes (showing 00000 in the display) and to the right of the engine instruments...

I'll check again when I'm back home tonight but I'm pretty sure I would've noticed it unless it looks totally different from normal. thanks though.. starting to think it didn't install correctly and I might try again. Thanks for the quick response...

Chris shift+4 will bring a pop-up so you can see the auto-pilot and then look at the stack to identify.( don't forget to scroll the mouse wheel to adust alt'bob

Yep.. had to reinstall and it's there now. Flew it last night.. took some reading up on the Garmin 430 to reacquaint myself with it but worked out fine. Thanks Bob, for the info on the mouse wheel for Alt adjust.. would've come in handy last night.. I'll try to remember that one.. the grab and pull control on the Alt is really clunky and it took forever to dial in what I was looking for and ended up stick flying the Plockton approach in Scottish fog because I couldn't get the Alt set for decent. :)Thanks again.

haha.. ok getting annoyed w/ the Garmin now. I have the Pilots Manual and it says to change the frequency: Turn the large left knob to select the MHz, and the small left knob to select the kHz of the desired frequency.So.. I can't seem to find a toggle on the GPS to let me change between MHz and kHz? Anyone wanna throw me a bone? I mean, I've figured out how to go between VLoc and Com bands and the left button moves the kHz frequency just fine.. move to the MHz?Thanks for your time.Nevermind.. I'm an idiot.. never occurred to me to move up and down to find the inner and outer.. sorry for the lame post.
