Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm back in business Nico. Thank you so much. I do read manuals all the time, but sometimes one can miss one. I too was in IT for 39 years, From IBM 360 370 Mainframes to Midi propriety systems to open source then different servers and PCs. Now I can fly my favourite 737 800 Zibimod.

Fascinating. So a big difference between Zibo AP and PMDG is that the AP here is a "take over" mechanism, not a "get me there" mechanism. I like that very much.

There is no doubt that watching you in action has become quite addictive... maybe you should come with a bit of a health warning! I am catching up on your previous recordings and tutorials, some of them for the second or third time. They really are excellent presentations, easy to follow, delivered in a calm, relaxed atmosphere and this one is no exception, clear, concise explanation and the use of diagrams makes it very is to understand. Thank you for making such a significant contribution to this great flight sim.

Things become more interesting when you have a SID which wants you to turn right after the takeoff. Good video though. Also you can use "Voice attack" to use you voice to engage autopilot or any other command. It really changes the whole experience of flying..

I think some people are getting confused between the problem of trimming and yoke centering, both of which are required to engage AP in the Zibo Mod. Having just spent a day resolving the problem on my flight sim, I will explain what it was. My problem was a badly centering yoke, physically it centred naturally in both axis. Electrically it was off centre slightly. Centering it on Windows calibration didn't help. It looked ok in windows, in XP11 AP still didn't engage. It wasn't until I went into the EFB and checked under calibration I found it was off center electrically by 0.5 when centered on one axis. Now setting a null zone on my yoke could have cured this, but I didn't want a yoke with a dead zone in the center, a yoke should be fully responsive throughout its full travel. So I disassembled it and physically recalibrated it, thus worked fine. It now read zero (ish) in the electronic flight bag in Zibo. Bottom line, don't confuse trimming the aircraft with neutralising the stick, check in the EFB to see if your stick is misaligned

Use the ILS information on the Approach Ref page. This will give you the correct frequency for NAV1 & 2 and also the course heading required. Do the normal CATIII approach and press CMD B before the FAF. That is usually all that is required.
