Custer76 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Hello. I have incorporated the S-Tec 55x autopilot (which is supposed to work with MSFS) in a panel I created in Air Manager 4. Unfortunately, The VS function does not see to work at all. I must resort to change the VS rate of climb/descent on the VC cockpit which sort of defeats the purpose of having Air Manager. I use air Manager 4 with a DIY Knobster. Everything works as it should. Except the autopilot. Is there a trick to make this work as it should. The illustration of the S-Tec 55 even shows the VS rate so, it appears that this function is coded and should work. See attached picture. However, in my panel, when I click on the "VS" button, nothing happens. I fully expect this to be a user's error. Sorry for this was asked before. I searched the Forum but did not find an answer. Best, Gianluca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNRalph Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 The S-Tec is 'really' a S-Tec, it doesn't work that well combining it with a different type of autopilot in the simulator. The default X-Plane Cessna 172 has an S-Tec and that works perfect. For FS2020 I recommend using the Bendix King KAP140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Gianluca The v/s only works when the ALT button is NOT in use. DO NOT set the a/p vertical function until you are AT the chosen altitude. Many real-world autopilots are like that!
