Fd / Ap Switch

This is a trick that we figured out for the JetProp, but works equally well for the Seneca.

If you use a joystick button to engage or disengage the autopilot, you can make the panel switch follow suit..

Create a little XML gauge and call it in the Virtual cockpit somewhere..

Gauge code:

<Gauge Name="Control_init" Version="1.0">

<!-- FDAP Switch -->
   
<Element> <Select> <Value> 

       (A:AUTOPILOT MASTER,BOOL)  if{ 
           (L:SWITCH_APFD_MALIBU,number) 1 ==  if{
            2 (>L:SWITCH_APFD_MALIBU,number)  }
           (L:SWITCH_APFD_MALIBU,number) 0 ==  if{
            1 (>K:AP_MASTER)  } }
                   els{
       (L:SWITCH_APFD_MALIBU,number) 2 ==  if{
            1 (>L:SWITCH_APFD_MALIBU,number)  } }  
    
 </Value> </Select> </Element>
</Gauge>
