Hello Ivan, Hello Smilo,
A nicely done solution with the dual needle instruments! - Elegant, and saves space on the panel, as well as being authentic!
Re: Autopilots. Smiloīs wish list seems to incorporate the necessary features.
I have been trying out the Autopilot that came with the FS98 FW-200 Panel by Pegasus Design, which I initially thought was a bit strange, but it is actually very good. Other than being in feet, not metric as one would expect on a German plane, the functionality of this device is quite nice.
Switched on, some buttons turn left and right (-+) to set the desired height, and also to set climbing speed. The plane will automatically fly to that level. Then, another button very easily sets or alters the Heading (Kurs), which is coupled to the Askania FernKompass (a Gyro Compass?). A banking option is also available affecting the same function.
All in all, I found it quite pleasing to operate. If only it were in metres...
I think a yaw damper is used against the Dutch Roll setting in on large jets with swept-back wings.
Anyway, this is only my two-pence worth.
Cheers,
Aleatorylamp
