A340-200. A340-313X, A340-600HGW and A340-600VIP

[Octal450]

I have been giving these planes some work, first is beginning to fix the AP. I have installed my IT2 Autopilot system, and it is hooked up to the dialog, PFD, and MCP. It works decently, of course, I will tune it for the plane, so it flies even better. The FlightGear forum thread will keep track of my improvements to the A340-313X and A340-600HGW. I may or may not crosspost, so here you go: https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=29511

The new APs are stable, and can perform full long flights (LNAV works) without crashing, spinning, loosing controls ETC. Next I will work on Autothrottle, and possibly FBW. All knobs and switches are connected and working. The IT2 Autopilot is still in development, and some internal AUTOFLIGHT systems will be tuned/changed, and these planes will receive those updates.

If you come on mumble, I can walk you through adding the IT2, and updating it to your A340-200 (based of the 313X).

Josh -- I am going away till Tuesday. No internet.

However, it should be simple enough to do it -- I can probably do it myself.

Nice job, Josh!

Not really, the IT2 AUTOFLIGHT is designed to be heavily integrated, if you give me push to your repo, I will install it for you.

Sure, but break it... and I will ban you from your own Mumble thing!

Joking, obviously.

[legoboyvdlp]

You already have it.

@legoboyvdlp

OK, I will install it.

HAHAH
Off course you can't make a big break on a repository. You can always revert, go back, correct... etc
Repos are development sandbox, things are there to be modified. Not to be careful of not changing.

@legoboyvdlp
Now the A340-200 has the IT2 AUTOFLIGHT. It is in FGMEMBERS.
