Modules / Avionics / Autopilot Panel — S-TEC Style
Autopilot Panel — S-TEC Style
Modeled on the S-TEC autopilot in X-Plane, with HDG, NAV, APR, REV, ALT and VS mode buttons, a vertical speed selector and a mode display.
There's no engage button on the panel. Engage and disconnect live on the yoke, as they do in the aircraft. The sim is the source of truth: modes shown on the panel are the modes X-Plane is flying.
