You said you get something about not finding a nasal function at line 2, so the the autopilot xml instrument configuration is working, it just cant find the nasal function that it is tied to. This nasal function is in data/Aircraft/c172p/kap140.nas, this file gets included by data/Aircraft/c172p/c172p-set.xml. Can you verify that kap140.nas is in the c172p directory. It used to be in data/Nasal, but it's not supposed to be there! Did you say you used the c172r?! I'm pretty sure you have to use the c172p for the kap140.nas file to be included and the autopilot to work. If you start FlightGear without specifying any aircraft you get the default c172p, and the autopilot should definetly work there. > This is in my .fgfsrc > --fg-root=/usr/local/FlightGear-0.9/data/ Are you absolutely, 100%, positively sure that this is the directory that you just updated to latest CVS? It looks like a typical place where make install would place the data files. I don't do make install, because I update from CVS all the time, I keep it all in my home directory. > For the past few months I've used the autopilot menu > at top of FG screen, which I've read is not the way to > go. Well for aircraft that don't have a custom/explicit autopilot configuration, the menu _is_ the way to go. Unfortunately the majority of aircraft don't have a custom configuration, so they fall back to the generic. -- Roy Vegard Ovesen _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
