Carenado AP fix

Recommended Posts

Been struggling with cockpit improvement on the 340. 

If you don't like the AP you can create a popup window and put the stock FSX beech baron radio popup in there. 

I run it and GTN750 on second monitor ( along with windowed avidyne)  Still seeing 60 FPS and everything works.

I ditched the garmin 530 one and moved the garmin 530 2 up in its place. Then I put the C340 autopilot where the garmin 530 2 was. It's of course oversized but at least if you want to use the stock C340 AP its higher on the panel.

My remedy was to add a Saitek Multi Panel.  Provides the AP functions at the touch of a finger, mounted to the top of my yoke's housing.  Also use Spad.Next to customize the interface between the multi-panel and the sim.

I prefer to control an AP with the mouse. Do have to say that especially Cessna placed the AP functions in a location not conducive to simulators.
