C-1 Autopilot Inoperative in P3dv5

[rbapon]

I've come across a pesky problem in the P3Dv5 version of the Fortress. I can't get the C-1 Autopilot to work... no tell tale lights, no power, no reaction. When I hit the shortcut SHFT-9, instead of the C-1, I get the Bendix King unit in the attached picture. I can pull up the C-1 from the status bar and operate the dials from the pop-up panel, but either way, in the virtual cockpit or pop-up, no reaction from the system except for spinning dials. The Fort DOES react to the Bendix unit. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

From screenshot i can see that ur active autopilot is default one, not C1

Hi rbapon.
In the shift+3 menu , at the bottom you will see 3 buttons , the center button allows you to pick from the C-1 or default Autopilot , then when you open the shift+9 it will show either the C-1 or the default Autopilot , i will check my FSX B17 , but i am pretty sure the C-1 can be operated via the VC or the popup.

I can confirm the C-1 works in P3Dv5.1.
As stated above you need to select the desired auto pilot from the shift+3 menu.
I hate to remind you but......RTFM!

Hi rbapon.
Having tried my FSX B17 the C1 only fully works after selecting it in Shift+3 first , the lights should go on and off as you move the centering knobs from full left to right and the controls to full deflection in each direction , this verifies the lights show deflection prior to setting up and engageing the autopilot.

Thanks guys... Had the B17 since the FSX days, never used the standard autopilot and overlooked the fact that there even was a standard Bendix option. Such as it is, I was just happy to try to jump right back and re-learn the C-1 and so much so that I overlooked the Shift-3 GPS option. Yes, I RTFM, but was still caught up by my enthusiasm to mess around with the quirky old time equipment.
