[F-16]

I'm seriously confused with this Airbus X Autopilot.

In a freeware A320, I can easily use the autopilot and I have completed many short and long journey's using this baby. However, I recently bought Airbus X expecting it to be similar. It's not.

I took-off from Faro, Portugal on route to Lisbon, Portugal to complete a test flight with the A320 Airbus X but I was annoyed at the fact that the autopilot didn't work.

I change to HDG to 005 as instructed but I can't seem to get HDG Hold; I simply cannot find it. The same with altitude, I program 6,000ft into the ALT knob but I don't know how to activate ALT Hold.

So a couple questions:

How do I activate these two things?
Where do I input the ILS frequency and the course? - I can't find the radio for NAV 1 or the course selector for an ILS landing
How do I activate speed hold?

Please help me! I had no problem in freeware aircraft but in this, I am struggling quite a lot!

Thank you!

HDG Hold is activated by pulling the HDG knob (right-click on it).

To tell the autopilot to hold a certain altitude, dial the desired altitude and either push (left click, managed climb/descent) or pull (right click, unmanaged climb/descent) the alt knob.

You need to enter that on the MCDU. Press the RAD/NAV button.

How do I activate speed hold?

Pull the SPD knob (right click).


One of the differences between a freeware airplane and the AirbusX is the included manual. Please give the Vol6 Step by Step guide a try. It will answer many of your questions regarding this bird.
