Hi,

I'm running FS2002 on XP professional, using a Cessna 172. There is
an autopilot master switch on the left of the control panel, which is
bright (illumianted) when on, and dark when off.

However, there are many other settings for the autopilot, such as
heading hold (ctrl+h by default), attitude hold (ctrl+t), etc., for
which I have not found any indicator or place in the menu tree to
indicate their state (on/off).

Does any one out there know how one can find out the state of those
autopilot settings?

Thanks,
Wolfgang

Autopilot section of the radio stack. Try Shift with the number keys
near the top of the keyboard (probably @/2). You also might be able to
see the buttons/indicators by panning down and to the right in the
virtual cockpit, accessible by typing s.

Note that some planes in the simulator have different radio stacks and
different autopilot controls. Some of the commercial planes have
autopilot controls located near the top edge of the main instrument panel.
