@Shurq1 : use the menu of the micro-controler. (Access it with "select" then click on the micro-controller) You can disable "Alt Hold" here

Autopilot won't engage without a target altitude.

I'm driving a ship.

@Shurq1: You have the arrow buttons on the bottom left and the zoom buttons on the bottom right. Use them to navigate the map, then click on the map where you want to go.
I have not planed for keypad inputs though, to keep the MC size as compact as possible.

Love this AP/map/beacon locator! Is there anyway to add waypoints manually?

@wabble234: Sorry for the late response!
Yes, sounds like it. You see, the AP is set up to replace a seat. It is modular, so you can tell it which axis is responsible for altitude. I guess what is happening is that it tries to raise altitude (axis + ) but for your air plane it is mapped to require the opposite (axis - ). You could try to enter a negative P-Value for Altitude. That should inverse the input and get you flying! Maybe you need to adjust the D-Value aswell.

Hey mate! Great microcontroller. I'm having issues with the Altitude hold function however, whenever I activate it in the settings it pitches my aircraft full nose down. This is on a conventional fixed wing aircraft with W/S bound as Pitch, A/D bound as Roll, L/R bound as Yaw and U/D bound as Brakes. Any tips?

ok so i need to have a gyro got it

@meloeh: As I have said in the description, yes ;-)
Basically this Autopilot replaces a Seat. So whatever can be controlled with your keyboard is also compatible with this Autopilot.
Just remember: This is a Seat only, not some gyro! If your helicopter does not fly on it's own, this Controller will NOT help you.

will it work for chopters

@ksa Baz: This is the equivalent of your Seat's composit output. If you have not used that yet, I reccomend you to look into it's functionality!
Since the Auto Pilot is Lua based, all the functions are written to composit and, according to your settings, overwrite the original seat control. The huge benefit of that is, that any vehicle, that you built to use the Seat Composit, can be upgraded to use the Auto Pilot without further adjustments. A real plug-and-play experience!

what is the seat output

@theBrilliantShadow yo I just got it working on my ac130 gunship and it is amazing tysm

@Ima_Mango: This Autopilot is supposed to work as an extension to your seat. It does not do much in terms of 'flying your plane'. If you have issues, I assue that you have them when the Autopilot is off as well. In this case, I recommend you to improve your Logic with some help from other players / tutorials.
If you have an issue specifically with the Autopilot, please add some more information what exactly you need or are missing. I will gladly help! :-)

I am having trouble using this is there some kind of tutorial? I am building a plane

@doolcookies: Thanks man, much appreciated!

Yay, after days of trying to find a map system that actually works. I found one :) You my good person deserve a and award for this :)

Some Autopilots are set up to assist in the way an aircraft flies. i.e automatic level out or other unwanted motion canceling. Basically what the vanilla gyro block can do.
This Autopilot is focused around being easy to use with a screen, and mostly only replaces a seat.
Steering and Alt-Hold are PID assisted and can therefore fulfill the role of a gyro. Throttle and Roll are not. If you want these included in your flight maneuvers, you need to add them. (for example, an aircraft doing a bit of roll while turning might look better than one just yawing left/right - this Autopilot can only do that, when you set up your Yaw-Axis to add roll by default)

what do you mean with "proper gyro system" on a plane? proper surfaces set up? I'm just starting my plane phase.
