    Helo questions: Auto Hover and Autopilot for P3D?

    Hi guys one more question. In FSX, there were working gauges for both helicopter autopilot and auto hover. However, they dont work in P3D. I am assuming this is because they are *.gau files and not XML. Is anyone aware of this capability for P3D anywhere? Even in payware helicopters? I'd be inclined to go buy a payware bird if it had this.

    Haven't had time to test this out...there may be other solution's that I don't know about.

    No, it is because the existing .gau files are 32bit and P3Dv4.x is 64bit.

    Have a look at jeansy's thread for a heli autopilot

    Yup. Works great. Was developed by LM. I found it on the helisimmer.com web site. Configured it and it works a treat! Now if we had auto hover and decent NVG...

    Yep thats the one i complied from the sdk for general use, it can also found at avsim and flightsim.com
    Its the same AP that was at OZX and hovercontrol

    It does have a autohover you need to set the set to zero
