Hey guys while, I was playing engineer for a while I forgot what the fix was when the autopilot stops letting you make 1 degree HDG changes, or 100 ft ALT changes? Thanks in advance for any help refreshing my fried brain....  Stef |

Reloading the plane sometimes works, although with some panels there's no way to get around it... Anyone else with a trick?

I have a couple of airplanes in which heading and VOR OBS course change increments (1-degree or 10-degree increments) depend on where you click the knob. Try imagining the circular knob divided into four 90-degree segments, and click on each segment to see if that helps.
I don't know if this would apply to autopilot altitude changes.

Is it a particular airplane or all of them ??
I know on some it's SHIFT key held while making adjustments produces the large changes...and no-SHIFT makes small adjustments.

I looked through the airplanes I thought had that characteristic, but couldn't find any. I replaced instruments and autopilots in many of them, so that may have eliminated that effect.
I replaced some of the older style a/p's with the one from the default Lear. That one let's you select altitudes and vertical speeds to +-100 ft(/sec), and headings and NAV courses to +-1 degree.
Sorry. Didn't mean to mislead anyone.

Bingo! That's it ...... I knew there was something about this particular autopilot, and that's it, the shift key.....  Duh! The "Other" Stefan.... Actually I think there are at least 3 Stefan's here now... |

One thing I do with airplanes that have these rather unusual features is adding them to the ref or Kb files so I can look them up on the fly on via the F10 key.
