I'll assume that you are talking about the 737 autopilot. The "Altitude Hold Stage 1" controller, starting at line 224, restricts the rate-of-climb setpoint to -2000 to 2000 fps. I guess that makes sense?! Further down, beginning at line 400, you'll see that the "Speed hold (vary pitch) Stage #1" controller restricts the _pitch_ to -8.0 to 15.0 degrees. Are you sure that it's the climb rate that is restricted to 8.33/16.67, and not the pitch when in speed hold mode? -- Roy Vegard Ovesen _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
