IRIS BD-5J Autopilot

SOH-CM-2025
Is anyone aware of a fix for the autopilot problems from the original release? Last thing I heard was that David planned to do a fix at some point. I made a support ticket on it a few weeks ago and heard nothing back from that and after several attempts at asking the question on facebook, I still haven't gotten an answer. Normally, all it takes is to add a "1" on the autopilot line in the aircraft.cfg file, but this is coded differently apparently because that method doesn't work and David eluded to the fact that it would take a bit of tweaking to get it to work. This is a favorite of mine, but I rarely fly it any great distances because of the lack of an operable AP. Short flights are fine, but flights of any duration require constant inputs to maintain level flight and get very tedious constantly correcting pitch and roll.

Just wondering if something has been done or not.:salute:

Just a note. . . .I feel compelled to add this because I know someone will have to remind me that the AP wasn't originally supposed to be part of the final release and I want to assure those folks that I knew that from the start. I knew that it was left in by mistake and was used for the beta testing only. I got that.

Ok that's all!!:salute:
 
Are all 3 direction indicators in the aircraft.cfg? I have the aircraft and will check it later on.
