• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Autopilots

The X-Cub and King Air 350i have NAV and APR buttons, but I can't find a way to set frequencies. Are these MSFS model limitations or real plane limitations?
 
The real King Air has Collins avionics, but MS/Asobo have just cobbled in a G3X with multiple screens. All three have the same Split option, but you have to lower your view a little to see that button on the center display.
 
It's worth noting that the latest patch pretty much broke the autopilots for any kind of IFR flying.

For whatever reason, Asobo decided to "smooth" the autopilots out by making them massively shallow out the bank angle when they get within about 30 degrees of the desired heading or course, so turns now take long enough that the ATC (which is already questionable for IFR flying) is utterly baffled, and instrument approaches basically require hand-flying if you're doing anything but a stupidly long final on an ILS.
 
What a bummer! That does not fare well for MS's goal for its sim to be used for training purposes. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
