Looking for a non-glass cockpit GA aircraft with autopilot

Hello every, do you guys think of any model that matches above criteria? The autopilot can be a simple 2-axis one. Preferably with glass canopy too. Thanks!

most 4 place GA aircraft have some form of AP or directional hold system installed.
Take your time and investigate in the sim.
Can’t tell from your header vs your post which one you prefer - Glass or no glass?
Either way the answer is in your hands

The combo of steam gauges, glass canopy and autopilot seems a bit tricky to find.

The default Robin Cap 10 has the glass canopy and a steam 6 pack but no autopilot.

The steam gauge 172 from the premium pack has an autopilot, but no glass canopy.

In terms of payware the Just Flight Piper Arrow also comes to mind as it has an autopilot and a configuration that is just a G100 and steam gauges but again no glass canopy.

Then you get the At simulations P149 with steam gauges and a glass canopy but no auto-pilot:

Carenado Mooney. In the sim and IRL a pretty fast and impressive aircraft.

True forgot the Mooney.

Steam gauges and autopilot but no glass canopy.

Thank you for the detailed reply! I just did some research and found that P149 seemed to have some basic autopilot functions by using keyboard binding. Could anyone confirm this? Thanks.

I did mess about with it but was unable to get the autopilot to work.

This is by far my favourite payware aircraft to fly but if autopilot is essential maybe do not risk it.

How do I get rid of the glass screen in the Arrow? Checked the manual but couldn’t find it. Thanks!

If it is the Carenado Arrow I do not think you can.

If it is a Just Flight Arrow there is a tablet you can turn on by hitting one of the toggle switches on the cockpit panel in the top right and that has GPS options. Select the G100. Make sure to power the tablet down before hiding it again to avoid a FPS hit while it is hidden.

Interestingly if you install the GNS750 mod the JF Arrow automatically adds the GNS750 to your options.

Ooh it’s the tablet, I must be blind. I usually switch that thing straight off. Thanks!!
