I have just commited a modified version of your patch. Autopilot names are still hardcoded into gui.nas but probably easier to maintain. And I added a property /autopilot/hide-menu that, if set at startup, hides the autopilot menu item. I have tested several aircraft with success but not all. As ever: please complain if I broke anything. @Csaba: as far as I discovered, the generic autopilot is not loaded, if an aircraft specific autopilot is configured in the -set.xml file? This still does not disable the autopilot menu, however. I did not dare to disable the menu item, if the autopilot is not the generic one because individual autopilots might want to see the menu item. Maybe the current solution is a good compromise.
