KAP 140 problems

[Calypte 14]

With the experience of FSX/P3D Twin Otter I am very disappointed with the KAP 140 autopilot used in MSFS version. Aerosoft chose to use a buggy/limited simulation of KAP 140 provided by default with MSFS.

 

Current bugs:

- when engaged the AP sets VS to 0; real-world AP sets current VS; currently enabling AP during climb makes no sense as the AP will pitch down (or up when engaged during descent)
- default roll mode for KAP 140 is "wings level"; not simulated in Twin Otter; currently when we engage the AP there is no roll mode at all (not possible unless faulty AP in the real-world);
- arm button not functional; 
- alt button logic is incorrect;
- altitude selection logic incorrect.

I refrain from describing the logic of both buttons as the manuals for KAP 140 are easily available.

We have good hope that MS will update those functions.
The decision to use that instrument was made to maintain compatibility on the Xbox.

The ARM button on the KAP140 is not implementet by Asobo.
