I can confirm that this happens with current code. It looks like the autopilot setting is being updated along with the current heading, so the seek never finishes and the aircraft flies in circles forever. Andy -- Andrew J.

I wonder if it's 'reality' related ... yup that's it This only happens with// in newauto.hxx #define DEFAULT_AP_HEADING_LOCK FGAutopilot::FG_DG_HEADING_LOCK and not with #define DEFAULT_AP_HEADING_LOCK FGAutopilot::FG_TRUE_HEADING_LOCK No wonder I never saw this :-) Norman ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

My guess without checking is it seems to be working on aircraft with the heading bug instrument...but that is just a guess. This has been this way for at least a month or two, but with being busy at work I haven't flown or looked into it enough to even report. The autopilot code is in bad need of an overhaul, which I started last summer, but decided to put off until the winter when work is slow.

Heading hold seems to fail on YASim planes ... something seems to be missing, or not quite happening right.
