Hi Is there anyway to add a basic autopilot to none autopiloted eg new JU52 or the Zlin Savage Cub or Robin Cap10, any plane that doesn’t have its own. altitude hold and heading hold. In FSX and P3D use to add the Autopilot lines from the Cessna 172 to any aircraft CFG file. I don’t Care if they …

Sounds like a bloody good idea to me, I would like thisnfunction added please

I did not know the gtn750 has AP. I thought it is just a gps unit without AP controls. How exactly do you operate the AP in it?

I have been trying it just now and I can not figure out where any autopilot controls are in it. Interested to know also

Sorry – my error .. I have got so use to, in non GPS / AP planes, adding a GPS, and then using my Stream Deck to provide the AP controls switches and display. Also , very often one has to mod one of the .cfg files to provide the Autopilot = 1 [ap2=sd] Example: AP on. ALT Armed to 2000ft…
