neilintheus Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hi, I bought Air Manager after reading the review on AurdailyX. Its a great product, but unfortunately it does not seem to include any way to control the Autopilot within FSX. It was to have a panel for controlling the autopilot on planes which do not have it in the VC, such as the AN-2 that I bought the product. So my simple questions are: 1. Do you have plans to create such an instrument? 2. If the answer is no, or its going to be a long time before its ready, could I have a refund, as at the moment it does not provide the functionality I require. Again I'd like to say that its a great product, but I had a specific requirement which I cannot fulfil with it right now. All the very best, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNRalph Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If an aircraft doesn't have an autopilot, then it isn't possible with Air Manager either. If it does have an autopilot then I can create something to control that autopilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilintheus Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 An autopilot control would be great. I often go into the .cfg of the plane in question and change the Flight Director and Autopilot parameters so that they can be controlled by an Autopilot, even if it is just Heading and Altitude Hold. It would be nice to have it for planes that come with Autopilot as standard as well, of course :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNRalph Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I've added an autopilot today. Graphics wise maybe not the most beautiful autopilot, but it works. I'll be working on a Garmin G3X autopilot soon, it doesn't have a display... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNRalph Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I was just very lucky that someone made an autopilot ;) No working on converting the Cessna 172 complete panel to FSX, a lot of work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ralph, I've checked the link of the G3X on the thread above and I was wondering what are the plans to have it in Air Manager? I'm looking at this AP panel and audio panel to complete the radio stack! Thanks, Filipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNRalph Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hi Filipe, I'll make a list of instruments that I have to make. These would definitely be nice additions. First I have to fill in the taxes :( Hope to do them somewhere this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNRalph Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The design is practically done. I'm not totally satisfied with the LED and there needs to be a pushed version for all the buttons. Now I have to do the code, later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNRalph Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It's available for download. Let me know if there's any comments/bug/etc... The level event/command doesn't seem to work in every aircraft. Nothing to do about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
