Yeah...It appears as if autopilot is not getting the altitude info from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  The autopilot altitude value stays at it's
default 5k and doesn't budge. The only way to set this alt is manually
through the ap gui.  Any quick fixes would be appreciated...  Does the
telnet or GPS system work as well?  I see the --garmin=params option...
I found the garmin protocol, but it appears as if the protocol needs to
be in xml format, is this correct?


Thanks for you input...

flightplan, but have the same isue. The altitude in the gui autopilot
works very stable.  So... is there a way to implement a series of
waypoints at different altitudes?  My next attack was going to cut into
the route manger code in try to implement a file read to the autopilot
data points, any input would be appreciated... Thanks for your help...

This used to work back when it was first implimented.  You may want to 
check that the route manager is setting the same property name for 
target elevation that the autopilot is using.

Downside of using properties for these things rather than C++ variables 
if you change one side and not the other, the compiler won't catch it 
for you, but the upside is a tremendous amount of increased flexibility 
and power so we live with it ...
