I think (maby) I have solved the problem...the problem is an incompatible addon...let me do some more research and report back...thanks to all who responded...

Somethings happened to my sim...the autopilot will not accurately fly a predetermined flight plan (made by someone else)... it is 10-15 degrees off...it could be the plane I'm using, but all the planes I've tried do the same thing...otherwise the autopilot works well...the problem even manifests itself when using one of my two autopilot external applications..... for clarification purposes, its when I'm using the "Nav" function...

AP Panels from Flight.to ....

The author has updated the program....first in a long time...

Getting along fine now with it now that I use the "helper" Panels app....thanks for asking...

Yikes Bill..how do I edit my post?

Bill, while watching TV last night i thought of a solution to my problem... First involves making your way to "Flightsim.to" ... a great site....then navigating to: https://flightsim.to/file/56532/msfs-panel-replicas ...there you will find a program which emulates several flight sim autopilots....download the addon, pick a autopilot of your choosing....I used a fairly sophisticated one for the PC-21... it worked splendidly except for the part about the maximum altitude, which you must set in the plane...let me know of your adventures... ...cheers, John Helms

Thanks, Bill....

Thanks, Bill....it seems as though the autopilot is only operative above a certain distance, like 1500 feet or meters... do you know the exact height?... While I got you, how does the autopilot pitch preference work?... I seem to have a similar problem with it, ie, when I cut off the altitude hold button and attempt to adjust the altitude of the plane up or down, the switch lights you but the height meter just sits there as I scroll with my trac ball....

I located the heading bug setting control knob on my new PC-12... but when i activate it by pushing it with the cursor and then trying to set a new course by moving my trac ball, nothing happens... any help appreciated... John Helms

The sim is fast enough to initially load up, buy when I go to load an aircraft it takes forever...I just had ATT come out and install a 2G line (my rig will only take 1G),so i know i have enough bandwidth...as tested on speedtest.net... I am using the sim on my desktop, running W-11, and the internet connection is hardwired into the computer...I have over 200 planes together with all the add-ons...how do I make the planes load faster?... I am in Houston, Texas...any help appreciated... John Helms

I forgot to say that I have 1G internet connection, with 3 devices being fed...I am only receiving 333 mbps on my desktop...is that normal for ATT?.. I should also say that my sim is slow to load (many add-on planes and accessories)...after that, the sim runs fine...hope this helps..

MSFS is slow running on my desktop gaming computer... I have ATT fiber optic hard wired to my desktop...they say I have 3 devices hooked up...my Speed Test rating on the desktop is 356 mbps down...anything I can due to speed things up or is something wrong with MSFS?...any help appreciated...

First, I'd like to thank everyone that responded... i chose to follow the advice of Noell and Bert... I will try Bert's dropbox solution...again, thanks to all and please excuse the delay in responding... it's been real hectic here.... John Helms

I just acquired the bird...i cannot, after diligent search, find the main Autopilot botton,,,i am aware the the plane has an autopilot display with all the usual switches, except the main autopilot one....help please... John Helms
