Luke,
I read in the issue tracker where you wrote that the ATR a/p was fixed and you had a new installer. I just reinstalled it and it didn't work. Did I read that wrong?

The difference between the two should be two knobs on the right side of the autopilot that control V/S and HDG, iirc.
Cheers!

Yeah, I did see those, although I thought the a/p was fixed all together. It still will not hold V/S nor altitude. Actually, it didn't really do anything. I am not fussing, Lord knows you have a stack of things to do long before this is important, I just wanted you to know about it. Thanks for all you do for us.

Sigh - serves me right for not testing that panel further. I've reopened issue 177 to track it.
Cheers!

Thanks Luke, just in case you do not know, I will brief you on it. Even before you fixed this last problem, the ATR would not hold altitude, it would hold V/S sort of but it would shoot right through the altitude. When I just flew it, it didn't do anything. The autopilot showed that it was on but it was as if it wasn't. If you knew all these things already, I apologize. Thanks

Buy the Flight1 ATR and you'll have no problem. It's so easy to fly too, you probably won't use the A/P at all.

I wish I could, I am truly broke though. Plus I think I am the only one at DVA that is using a laptop (which is not bad by any means) however, I do not want to buy things at the moment until I can afford a high end desktop. I love the FL1 ATR though, it looks great.
