From the product page:

An aircraft of its time.

Our PA-30 simulates an aircraft with some wear, yet unmodified, and in its original configuration.
In order to be true to this era, our version does not include an autopilot.

Actually I bought it. It doesn't have an autopilot as the product page says. It flies very smoothly and the modeling is one of the best I've seen, very good job. I see no autopilot more of a challenge. When I have an autopilot I tend to fly GAs like an airliner sometimes 😛

Well it had an autopilot when I was testing it lol

Guess they took it out

That makes no sense when you look at their screen shots and the options/configurations they have provided for GNS and GTN ! I know this is fantasy/simulation, but why would an owner spend 10's of thousands of dollars on that kind of avionics and not have or add an autopilot?

My problem is, I can't start the engines..anyone facing the same?

Checklist?

Checklist?

Followed..Its really a simple plane, can't figure out why they don't start. Fuel level at max, magnetos on, electric fuel pumps on, fuel selectors on Mains, Prop Max, Mixture Max, Throttle 1/2. Starter activate, the prop spins for 2 seconds and stops again..

I seem to recall reading a post where they stated they had trouble incorporating the autopilot.... Not sure whether it was on Avsim or on their site.

Thank you for letting me know.
