August 8, 20178 yr I have this Australian trainer aircraft (IRIS Pilatus PC-9/A) in FSX but am unable to find a suitable brief manual showing how to fly the aircraft in autopilot. It may be that a simplfied manual, together with autopilot is not available. Can anyone help? Raymond Smyth

August 10, 20178 yr Author Charlie, No this does not help me. It is a 246 page flight simulation manual, much too complicated for me. There does not seem to any mention of an autopilot. So I wonder is there no autopilot? Raymond Smyth
August 10, 20178 yr Administrators If you are unsure about this aircraft having an autopilot function, you can check the aircraft.cfg for a section labeled [Autopilot] and also you can sit in the cockpit with the battery on and press the Z key twice. If you hear a beeping sound, that indicates the autopilot off signal. I'm down- loading an IRIS Pilatus PC-9 freeware version to look at the control panel. Looks like there is a Trojan in the Rikooo download. Not going to use it!

There is no autopilot in the cockpit, but there is an autopilot section in the aircraft.cfg so it will respond to the default AP key presses. Reading the (very) extensive manual is essential really to get the most out of the addon. Definitely study level espesially the radios and nav equipment.

I figured since it was a training aircraft you are to learn to fly manually and not rely on an autopilot.
