![]() ![]() When I purchased the A2A Cessna 172 I discovered quickly that I had no idea how to use/set/engage the KAP140 Autopilot it came with. ![]() In either case, I found that the videos I found didn't really help me, It always seemed to be "I don't know how to do it and you do, so I don't understand what you are doing" scenario for me. Not sure if you were asking for help with the KAP140 or just expounding on it's realism virtues. It's a bit slow and dry, but educational. Was it really me, with my experience? (Clue: upon engaging APR mode the AP annunciated both NAV and HDG and perhaps something else I was not watchful for.) Or is this one more true and I failed to read the manual? The approach issue has me perplexed, but this video answers some other question I had. Somehow today I blew a RNAV approach, not on vertical guidance, but on lateral guidance. After watching the linked video below, it seems this Redux KAP140 may be the best yet in terms of modeling the real thing. I have found myself going off course and on occasion climbing or descending through target altitudes. I'll be the first to say that about once each flight, and in cases more than once, the KAP140 implementation in this new Redux has left me scratching my head. Not all the same, but the operation is usually quite straight forward, and thus fairly simple. With so many of our simulator aircraft we find very similar autopilots.
