[MSFS2024] Cessna 185 Skywagon

Hi everyone,

I was playing a little again and managed to get an autopilot for those who doesn’t have the TDS GTNXi. I don’t have the permission yet to upload a full package, but here are my steps:

  • Get and install the C185 integration from the TDS website.

  • Go into the marcfsx-tdsgtnxi-integration-c185f\SimObjects\Airplanes\microsoft_c185f_skywagon\attachments\microsoft\function_interior\config folder, open the attached_objects.cfg, delete all of it’s content and paste the following code instead:
