Hey all, I am finding the Generic Autopilot either works as expected, or loads with unchangeable data, depending on spawn location. I seem to recall some discussion about a location dependent bug, but I thought it was related to weather. (?)
FlightGear v2.0 8/21/2010 snapshot from Tat's site. Any aircraft without a purpose built AP seems to be affected, based on the number I've tested, but for these locations listed I was using the popular MD-81 from Gary Neely's website. Airports to the north and to the south are working, where the middle area is not. Working locations tested: To the south - Kathmandu, Nepal, San Antonio, TX; Orlando, FL, and Key West, FL To the north - Rost, Norway; Montreal, QC Non-working locations seem to be anything across the middle third - Burlington, VT (just across the border from Montreal) Atlanta, GA Charles De Gaulle, Paris, France EHAM KSFO What I don't know yet is if this related to latitude/longitude, the airport itself, or something outside of that. But the data at the moment presents itself as a lat/lon issue. In a non-working location bad data consists of a default speed in the 13,000 range, alt hold in the 33,000 range, and headings from 130 - 550 degrees. These values can not be changed by the user. Often the headings and speed values are constantly climbing. A valid working location typically loads with 0 for heading and speed, and a single digit value for altitude hold. These are then changeable. Can anyone enlighten me on it?
