VNAV Connect to Autopilot?

Recommended Posts

I use the x plane G1000 to program in a waypoint altitude and descent angle, enable VNV mode, then the autopilot takes over at the TOD and descends the correct speed automatically. very handy.

i've successfully gotten the GTN750 VNAV display to work, however I'm wondering how/if it can connect to the autopilot as well in any of the X Plane payware planes, similarly to how the G1000 works?

thanks!

I'm trying to do this in the real airplane and I came across your post on here... Short answer is no. Apparently it is available with GFC 500 and 600 autopilots but I haven't seen it working yet. 

So on the sim it is basically a really good vnav calculator

thanks for the response! thats a bummer to hear but i feel a little better knowing that it even is a drag in the real world and it's just mirroring that. fancy calculator indeed!
