Hey everyone,

I'm really sorry if this was already asked and answered but i could not find it.

How do I activate the Space Shuttle Atlantis Ascent Auto Pilot in Orbiter 2016?

It says in the Intro that the shuttle has now an ascent autopilot, but i could not find the way to enable it on the manuals.

Thanks in advance.

edit: rephrasing stuff

The shuttle ascent autopilot is implemented as an MFD. It is called 'AscentAP'. It won't show up in the list of MFDs unless you are running one of the shuttle scenarios (there is probably a trigger in the scenario file that enables it, but I haven't bothered to look).

Actually it's a "vessel-specific" MFD.

You can also press Ctrl+Space, which brings up a window that you can activate it from. I don't think that it is as advanced but it gets the job done.
