This sounds very similar to the problem I encountered 3 days ago with a
number of aircraft. If you are rebuilding from the (fairly) latest git
code base for simgear and flightgear, then you need to also update your
data directory from fgdata.
I've copied Torsten and James reply below;

The calculation of these properties is no longer performed "hardcoded"
but
using a separate and additional "autopilot" configuration file. This
should be
included by your preferences.xml.
Please check if you have something like
<autopilot>
<path>Aircraft/Generic/generic-autopilot-helper.xml</path>
</autopilot>
near line 226 of preferences.xml
If not: do a git pull on the fgdata.
If yes: You found is is a bug.
Greetings, Torsten

And if you're using the 777, it's a known bug, which has a short-term
work-around; longer term, I have a rewrite of the AP pending, but it's a
couple of weeks from being committed.
