I'm just looking for heading/altitude hold, not a true autopilot.   I set up Spad to turn the Chinook AFCS to "both" and press the correct heading hold/ baro altitude hold buttons and you can see them move in the cockpit, but the two buttons move and don't light up.  Not sure AP is ready for prime time yet.  Just updated it via Orbx the other day.

Pretty much the same result using the msfs control bindings.  Heading "seems" to hold but not altitude.

Can't say I've had any issues with either heading or altitude hold since installing their latest update. They just work, every time. But I don't use Spad and didn't set up any key bindings, just a plain old mouse click.

Might be worth checking in with Miltech to ask about it.

Where did you get your update?   I've used Orbx which updated it to 1.1.1

I'm on 1.1.1 as well. Been using the Contrail app for my updates, and it always uninstalls the older version first. You could try that I guess with Orbx, uninstall then reinstall. But if everything else is working I think it's your bindings, possibly a duplicate.
