We won't cover every single aspect, because there are hundreds of [[aircraft]] out there, with dozens of different autopilot configurations. However, after reading this howto, you should be able to be creative and create unexisting configurations. | ||

Since we will be updating the autopilot hundreds of times, making tiny adjustments each time, we don't want to reload FlightGear every time. Therefore, we assign an "reload autopilot configuration" action to a key on our keyboard. We've chosen Shift-F5, but it could be any key. Add the code to your <tt>[[$FG ROOT]]/keyboard.xml</tt> file. | ||
