Baron G58 has no alt knob?

Featured Replies

Hi, I'm new to glass cockpit flight sims and I've been trying to get a handle on the basic autopilot functions. I noticed that the Beechcraft Baron G58's G1000 avionics does not have an altitude adjustment knob anywhere. It was driving me crazy trying to find it until I realized where it was supposed to be in other airplanes. So why does this plane have the ability to control VS by autopilot, but you can't set an altitude to do a FLC to or to hold at? Thanks!

It is a bug. It has been reported to Microsoft.

You can set altitude with ctrl-page up/down - which I tend to do anyway as it is easier than keeping the focus on that fiddly knob (in aircraft where it hasn't fallen off. It's probably under the seat somewhere)...

Also, you can just hit "B" to sync to current QNH.
