Icon A5 Autopilot?

[Grover2005]

Does anyone know of a modification for the Icon Amphibian that will add an autopilot? Thanks..

[mrzippy]

Is this a payware aircraft?

Your question indicates that you probably should brush up on the CONTROL OPTIONS section of MSFS. All options, such as AUTOPILOT, and other aircraft Control Options, are available for setting up any aircraft in MSFS.

 

Just go to CONTROL OPTIONS, and you will find all types of AUTOPILOT controls, in addition to other options to fit whatever control mods to the Icon-5, or any other aircraft. Best of Luck.

It's Free and it flies Great!

So, even though the airplane itself has no autopilot, the standard assignable autopilot controls will function?

[napamule2]

Yes. Any airplane. Here you go:

 

FSX Keyboard Controls – Autopilot

Master (on/off) – Z

Flight Director (on/off) – CTRL + F

Wing Leveler (on/off) – CTRL + V

Yaw Damper (on/off) – CTRL + D

Altitude Hold (on/off) – CTRL + Z

Altitude Bug (select) – CTRL + SHIFT + Z

Heading Hold (on/off) – CTRL + H

Heading Bug (select) – CTRL + SHIFT + H

Airspeed Hold (on/off) – CTRL + R

Mach Hold (on/off) – CTRL + M

Autothrottle (arm) – SHIFT + R

AT engage (TOGA) – CTRL + SHIFT + G

Nav 1 Hold (on/off) – CTRL + N

Approach Mode (on/off) – CTRL + A

Back Course (on/off) – CTRL + B

Localizer Hold (on/off) – CTRL + O

Attitude Hold (on/off) – CTRL + T

Increase Selection – =

Inc Selection Slightly – SHIFT + =

Dec Selection Slightly – SHIFT + –

Copy/Paste to Notepad/Print and keep handy. You will soon learn them. Happy Flying.

PS:Edit: I use AP to set pitch trim for me when leveled out to cruise alt. Press 'Z', then 'Ctrl+Z' (Present Alt Hold) and watch pitch trim 'auto set'. When level I push 'Ctrl+Z' and then 'Z' (AP Off).

Wonder if the OP is talking about the A5 in MSFS? If so, he's posting in the wrong forum...

[Gpurg]

You are Correct.... it was late and I saw the question in Microsoft Flight Simulator"s" and missed that it was a subset which contained FSX and the rest of the Flt SIms.

 

I was talking about MSFS in all of my posts, hope it didn't screw anybody up, although I think it probably still applies in FSX as well.

Thanks for catching my error rock ...
