and When I did GS, it overcorrects, which makes her engage rather waving.

Never seen an aircraft bank to 35... That's a little steep don't you think?
I think the AUTO system for bank angle works pretty well.

Standards
747-8 35 deg
737 BBJ 35 deg
Lineage1000 and 1000e 35 deg
all smaller gulfstream 40 deg
G550 and 650 35 deg
many military transports do 45 deg
fighterjets even under AP a quick 70 deg.
submarine hunters like Nimrod or Atlantic 50 deg
so, 35 as max is rather modest

About the AP problem on GS, Israel mentioned. The controller reacts slow and too heavy handed. Smaller steps and maybe a little bit ti play? Is there a predictor onit?

I am back after a nice roadtrip

When we click autostart, it says
starting APU, but the KingAir doesn't have one.
Can someone look into it, probably jwocky designed it to be universal/plug and play for different planes.

Yeah, the texts are like generic. She starts from battery, like a car?

The battery is used to spin a starter that spin the engine up to a certain rpm when fuel is introduced and usually ignites via an auto ignition source. Then the starter is disengaged to allow the engine to advance to its operating idle settings.

OK. I thought on a fryday morning to test the plane... Everything OK until when loading FG with the B-KA350 FG CRASHHHH!
I tested it againg but with different plane and... FG works as it should!
Only clue I have is that I am using FG 3.4....

My AP is designed for 2016.1.1 or later. Maybe some code I used won't work on earlier
@jwocky
sorry wrong. Boeings use 30deg max, most planes only go to 25!
@IAHM-COL
OK... In airliners it works OK... All it sets is the target pitch. So I'd have to check the elevator control. I know the G/S is still funny in some planes, so I must keep tuning it of course.
@jwocky
The difference it my G/S goes into target-pitch, not into the surface directly.
I'm still tuning it, but I may need to adjust it. I'll look after school today.

Didn't experience that. The FDM is under active development, should be ok by the US Tour day.

Josh's AP is doing a fine job with holding heading, alt, and speed

Didnt try any ILS app so dont know about that
