The installation with the iniManager doesn't work for me. I get a short message about a missing directory or function. Unfortunately, it's too short to read.

Same for me.

I had to add ini manager and ini updater to be allowed through windows defender firewall then the update worked.

If you can walk away it's a good landing

W11, MSFS2024 store version, and iniManager worked fine for this update.

I tried that. Unfortunately, it didn't help.
Thanks anyway.

[Installer worked fine for me;  2024 Store version]

 

Tried the update.  For me, the autopilot still will not reliably lock onto a GPS track, heading off to a seemingly random heading .  Very inconsistent.  Using it exclusively with PMS GTN.  I will try the 530 later today.

Flying this in FS2024.

Follows magenta line ok. but can't get it to do an ILS landing.

Coming in at 1,600' AGL, Nav1 on & frequency set, hit Vloc1 & GS when it reaches the green 'feathers' in Little NavMap. but the F406 doesn't follow the glideslope.

Am I missing a step somewhere?

1600'? That's a little low to get a reliable lock. Try again from 2,500' might give a better result?

I've found from flying into various ILS airports that much over 2,000' & the aircraft tend to overfly rather than lock on, hence the 1,600' to 1,800' approach.

However, I'll try 2,500' & see what happens.

The F406 does not appear to have a LOC button & I have noticed that on the 3 ILS approaches tried so far, I couldn't hear the ILS frequ. 'morse.

I flew into KBOS Rwy 33L, my standard ILS test Rwy, at 2,300',  & it overflew, no inclination to follow the glide slope at all.

So, head scratcher.

Are you running this latest version? It seems they made a hash of the GPS autopilot in the original release.

Strange thing to miss in beta testing...

I updated yesterday, but haven't tried the FS20 version. Will try that next.

Oddly, in FS24, on the 2nd attempt, prior to moving to KBOS, the aircraft, entered the Little Navmap green feathers ok at 1.600', having followed the STARS to that point, then it headed left in a perfect circle & came back around to enter the feathers again, & the go out left again, at which point I abandoned the flight.

I'm not on FS24 SU3 Beta.

Probably work in FS20😀
