    This is a discussion thread for the Aircraft Autopilot app (https://www.beamng.com/resources/aircraft-autopilot.34391/). It can be used to request support for aircraft types.

    For instructions on how to use the mod, please see the resource page.

    Tested aircraft types
    Aircraft not on this list may only work partially or not at all with the autopilot.

    Support implemented separately in autopilot
    • MTN-Goat (Shadow_Clan1965) - tested on aircraft version 3.5. (Autopilot version v0.1+)
    • B25 Mitchell (Joelvb, et al.) - tested on aircraft version 7.3. (Autopilot version v0.1+)
    • Me262 (Stoat Muldoon, not on repo) - tested on aircraft version v1.2. (Autopilot version v0.1+)
    • Antonov AN-12B (Dummiesman, not on repo) - tested on aircraft version from 2023-11-18. (Autopilot version v0.2.1+)
      • Controls must be set to direct mode before enabling autopilot.
    • Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX-e (jgb) - tested on aircraft version 1.65. Fully functional. (Autopilot version v0.2.1+)
    • Canadair CL-215 (MorzBNG) - tested on aircraft version 1.0.2. (Autopilot version v0.2.1+)
      • V/S is somewhat oscillatory.
    • PBY-5A Catalina (Stoat Muldoon & jgb, not on repo) - tested on aircraft version from 2025-04-06. (Autopilot version v0.3+)
      • The autopilot doesn't know how to dampen tail swings properly, so HDG will cause some minor Dutch roll.
    • Cessplane L19 (Dummiesman) - tested on aircraft version 2017-07-27. Fully functional. (Autopilot version v0.3.1+)
    Support implemented in vehicle
    • None so far.
    Not supported, nor is support planned
    • None so far.

    I will try adding support in the next version. (It might take some time, unfortunately - I'm working on a rather big rewrite which also involves recalibrating basically everything; it should fix a lot of the issues the current version has.)

    I will look into it.

    EDIT: Added support for v0.3.1. Reviewers are on holiday, so it might take some time for it to show up.

    This mod does not work. I am using a Canadair CL-215 Aircraft, and i find that the aircraft annoyingly yaws right by itself. So i installed this mod, but it happens to not work. i do not know why. well, i guess i have to yaw left every 10 seconds, andd manually throttle it.

    I tried using the CL-215, and the autopilot seems to work for me with HDG. Could you share a screenshot or description of the autopilot modes you tried to use?

    While I like how it works on the AN 12, Its a little sloppy on the B25 Mitchell. Like for example when i want to input a higher or lower altitude, the plane will suddenly freak and pitch up or down sharply. It also happens when i input a heading. Idk whats going on and i don't know what solutions should i take

    The B-25 controls are a bit snappy in general. It might be tunable to some extent, but I'd take a lot of trial and error to get it right.
