Autopilot
Falcon 50 ( Boeing style ) Autopilot

The autopilot can be fully controlled using the 3D cockpit switches. For FG2.4.0 use left and middle mouse buttons to turn any switches left/right. For FG2.5.0 and newer, you can use the mouse scroll wheel on all cockpit knobs.An Autoland system is going to be available as of v2.6.0

You can also use the built-in autopilot tutorial to learn about the different switches.

Autopilot controls, from left to right, top to bottom:

​

    A/P - Autopilot engage/disengage button
    F/D - Flight director (the pink lines that show up on your attitude indicator)
    A/T ARM (L/R) - Arm/disarm autothrottle for left/right engines. Must be armed to enable autothrottle for the respective engine.
    CLB CON - Continue climbing using the vertical speed the plane was at, when this setting was first engaged
    A/T - Autothrottle engage/disengage button. Like the real 777, the autothrottle is independent from the main autopilot, so autothrottle also also works when the autopilot is disabled (Note: this was different for FG2.0 and earlier!).
    IAS <> MACH - Switch between IAS speed mode and Mach number speed mode
    IAS window - Set your desired IAS speed or Mach speed here
    LNAV - Tells the autopilot to follow the Route Manager settings laterally (control the heading)- this has never worked for me, the autopilot just makes meaningless circles/goes north
    VNAV - Same as LNAV, except vertically (control the altitude)- never tried this setting before
    FLCH - Flight Level Change, set the altitude and press FLCH to climb or descent to designated flight level.
    A/P DISENGAGE - Dedicated autopilot disengage button (click twice). It serves as an easy to reach "emergency disengage" button.
    HDG <> TRK - Switch between heading bug and course track
    HDG window - Set your desired heading or course track here.
    HDG select - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain SELECTED heading (FG2.5.0 and newer).
    Bank limits (AUTO/5/25) - Define banking limits for turning, i.e. 5 for gentle turns at cruising altitude, 25 for good maneuverability at lower speeds; auto will be fine in most cases.
    HOLD - Engage/disengage heading or course hold mode and maintain CURRENT aircraft heading.
    V/S <> FPA - Switch between Vertical Speed and Flight Path Angle
    V/S window - Set your desired Vertical Speed or Flight Path Angle
    VS/FPA - Engage/disengage Vertical Speed/Flight Path Angle hold mode
    ALTITUDE window - Set your desired altitude here
    Altitude selection (AUTO/1000) - Switch between automatic incrementing (AUTO) and incrementing by the thousands (1000)- this setting only helps when selecting the altitude via the knobs, this won't apply if using the Autopilot Settings dialog
    HOLD - Engage/disengage altitude hold mode
    LOC - Track NAV1 VOR, flying by the heading given by the NAV1 radial
    APP - Arm the ILS localizer and glideslope (laterally and vertically). Any current AP mode (HDG and ALTITUDE HOLD) remains active, until the NAV receiver captures the localizer or glideslope.
    A/P - Engage/disengage autopilot
    F/D - Flight director
