August 1, 20187 yr I know this is a stupid question, but I have been flying PMDG aircraft for so long, I forgot how to use the Garmin 1000. Been reviewing the Help manual, but don't see ANYTHING about how to engage the autopilot and have it hold a heading or Nav course. I press Z and it seems to keep the wings level, etc., but I can't have it change heading with the Heading knob. Can anyone help an "old" newbie trying to relearn the G1000? Dave Hinson David Hinson
August 6, 20187 yr Author OK - I'll remove this post. Thanks, all. By the way, I am NOT a newbie, I have been using FlightSim for many, many years, including VATSIM controlling. I just can't really find out if the MilViz Baron G1000 autopilot is on or off. There are other planes using with G1000 that have a separate autopilot box, but I can't find one on the Baron.

August 8, 20187 yr Are you sure you mean the Milviz Baron? I wasn't aware it had a G1000. The default B58 Baron has a G1000 option but there is no built-in autopilot. Shift+2 (I think) brings up the pop-up autopilot. Hope that helps. Intel I7-4770 3.4Ghz 16 Gb RAM nVidia GTX770 2Gb Windows 8.1 64 bit P3D 4.4/3.4 FSX SE
August 11, 20187 yr Author Thanks for replying, frog. My mistake, the Baron I am flying is the Perfect Flights Baron, not MilViz. Finally figured to look in the User's Guide and saw ( MUCH TO MY AMAZEMENT !) that there a popup autopilot gauge that does not appear on the Baron panel. Problem solved. Look in the manuals, word not allowed ! Dave Edited August 11, 20187 yr by DaveH Addition David Hinson
