Functioning Autopilot + MCAS

46.6k PlaneFlightX  3.8 years ago

I think this is the first working autopilot in SP.

AG1-3 for engines.
VTOL down for flaps.
AG5 for bank autopilot (stops you from banking)
AG7 for altitude autopilot (automatically climbs to 10,000 ft and levels off).
Oh, and the MCAS pitches down at 30 degrees of pitch. It is fully working. AG8 disables it.

The central part is the big fuselage block.
