I just tested this again with the 1.01 release and all the described issues are still issues.  Submitting a ticket on the support form.

Yes I also have quickly tried 1.01. My first impressions are that Heading and VOR tracking seem a little better but it still does not even recognize an ILS and the flight director knob just will not switch to GS even using Ctrl A.

To be fair, I believe the recent patch was to fix the VC views and not the autopilot . I am told a patch is forthcoming to fix the autopilot issues.

We are currently working on an update for the autopilot and flight director.

Thanks for the clarification. Actually I could not find any information on what was included in the first patch but am comfortable that Just Flight will eventually be able to resolve.

Has there been any progress on the autopilot/FD update?

Yes. The AP/FD in the 748 is very similar and suffered from the same issues so has effectively been a testbed during beta testing for the replacement in the 1-11. The good news being that it's working well so I don't suppose it'll be too long before the 1-11 get it's new AP.

That's good to hear.  My one-eleven has been sitting in the hangar since that first aborted tutorial flight.

Are we waiting for Godot ?

I havent bought it yet but I´m waiting. I decided to wait (I have my reasons) and see and I´m glad I did so.
IMHO, one of the most important things in a sim like the 1-11 is the autopilot. Flying VOR/NDB with a Sperry autopilot in a jet is really fun and its what makes a sim like this different. So if the autopilot doesnt work the way it should and after having read this thread it seems to me like its very far from doing so, its a no buy for me which is sad and i dont get why its being released in such a poor shape.

I agree 100% with you! 

Good and realistic representations of the Sperry A/P have been available in other payware and even freeware planes for a while. There's no excuse for this plane being released with such a major flaw. In the meantime I suggest everybody who's having issues with the autopilot, to use David Maltby's 1-11 Autopilot. It's working perfectly.

How do you make the autopilot from another aircraft work in the JF BAE 1-11?

We have recoded the autopilot and flight director and are currently looking at other issues that have been identified. If the other issues will take a while to address then we'll look to release the new autopilot as an interim update.

You should have read the rude, unpleasant, reply that I received from Just Flight Support having politely enquired about the autopilot issue!! Having spent a small fortune with them too. As you point out, this AP is mainly a JF creation and not authentic. The later models of the 1-11 were pretty recent aircraft, relatively speaking, and fitted with appropriate avionics.

As Martyn mentions above there will be a new autopilot issued soon either separately or as part of a bigger update.

Regarding the reply from our support team that you mention, that doesn't sound like our support team to me, they're not known for being unpleasant and rude in fact quite the opposite, I'd like to take a look at the email if I may.  Could you send me the transcript by email to scott@justflight.com please?

Thank you

I found it weird too.Confused One of the reasons(one of many, in fact) I keep returning and buying stuff from Just Flight is due to the excellent costumer service.

Dear All,

If either the Master Autopilot Switch (#61) or the Autopilot Function Knob (#62) are set to anything but the 'off' position then I cannot set the mode switch on the Flight Director either (it just wont turn). 
Setting the FD mode switch to Hdg BEFORE turning on switch/dial #61 & #62 allows the a/p to work normally, for me at least..... Smile

Regards

I see my last comment in the forum was in early October, at which time it was acknowledged there was a problem. It is now nearly four months on and I do not see a correction yet. This is a long time to wait despite the product being still offered; presumably with the same deficiencies.
