I just purchased the PMDG Beechcraft 1900D, and I love it! But I'm wondering where to select the altitude (+/-) with the autopilot. There is a window on the right side of the 2D panel that says 'altitude alert' where I can input altitude, but it doesn't work even when I have the autopilot and the 'altitude hold' turned on.I realize the autopilot may be sort of a luxury in this type of aircraft, but nonetheless I thought I'd check. I was surprised to find none of this information included in the short operating manual.Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Try posting in the PMDG support forum here - I'm sure they'll sort you out. I haven't had any problems getting the Beech to hold an altitude, although I do recall the default VS setting is something like 200 fpm...way low for this bird! Maybe there's a difference between altitude hold (hold the altitude you are at) and altitude select (climb/descend to the set altitude) but it's not something that sticks out in my head...been a couple of weeks since I've flown that one, and between the meridian, the KingAir and the Conquest, the subtleties are kind of grey in my mind right now...Someone else?Best,sg
