Mod for Milviz C310 autopilot

[Bert Pieke 7,584]

Buried in the C310 thread is this great recommendation by @Ohmsquare

https://github.com/FS2020-USER-TESTER/KAP140-MOD-PACKAGE

I was going to code up a little mod to turn off the autopilot modes when shutting down the

autopilot, but this mod does it, and much more.. worth a look!

I can't get it do download, what are you supposed to click on?

Green code button, then download zip.

It's a mod, so drop into community folder or wherever you put your utilities, then enable with ad-on linker.

It's a nice little holdover...for now... in case Milviz decides to change something.  Something that I cannot say anything about.

Well, if there was something then you couldn't say anything about it but if there were nothing you could say something about it. So since you are saying nothing about it I can assume there is something.

How's that?  🙂

Perhaps I should try it again.  I had it installed. I was able to make settings in it, such as target altitude and VS rate, but I could not get the AP master switch to work. Will not stay on.  Activates and deactivates immediately.  Also did not get the ARM function.

Just installed again and same result.  What could I be doing wrong?  Even happens with Alt-Z, and with no yoke connected, so no active controls assignment.

UPDATE: Never Mind! Just found the "when on the ground" disclaimer in the readme file.

Who engages an autopilot when on the ground?  😉

Someone in initial left seat study in a new aircraft.  Compulsory familiarization.
Just ask John Denver......

Until Milviz decides "something".. this is a really nice mod that cleans up the default KAP140 and works great in the C310.

I hope they will. This AP, even with MOD, doesn't suit the brilliant C310.
