Download the latest version of IT Autoflight V4.0.X from [https://github.com/Octal450/IT Autoflight/releases/latest here]. Extract the Archive with WinRAR, 7Zip, or similar. If you are using a custom instrumentation file, make sure it contains the <gps> item, as IT Autoflight uses it to get an accurate and stable V/S signal. You also need the property "<tt>/position/gear-agl-ft</tt>". This property is automatically created by YAsim, but for JSBsim you need to add a calculation for it on your own. See instructions below. | Download the latest version of IT Autoflight V4.0.X from [https://github.com/Octal450/IT-Autoflight/releases/latest here]. Extract the Archive with WinRAR, 7Zip, or similar.
