Autopilot is BROKEN! (or is it?) - Microsoft Flight Simulator
2,089I've gotten a lot of questions asking how to make the autopilot work, so here's a video showing the basics. The concepts here should apply to all aircrafts regardless of size.
Intro: 0:00
Autopilot panel: 1:18
Annunciator (most important!): 2:04
ROL: 3:25
HDG: 4:43
NAV (most common issue): 5:38
PIT: 9:47
Setting a specific altitude: 11:15
VS: 12:20
FLC: 13:38
Sample descent procedure: 15:27
ALT: 18:11
Approach intro: 19:46
FD: 21:56
RNAV approach: 26:49
ILS approach: 34:06
Choosing an approach while making a flight plan: 42:28
Making the autothrottle work in the Citation Longitude: 43:43
Watchout: I forgot to highlight, for an ILS approach, in addition to tuning the frequency and switching the Active NAV, the make sure the CRS is set to the correct degrees. Normally this should be the runway heading but if you have access to charts follow that one. Adjust the CRS knob as necessary.
