Same problem here... was just about to post when I saw this.
I could have sworn it worked the first time I toggled it... but then never again.

And if you find the answer please post it!!

Oh, a polemic!

If you mean the single axe autopilot, it is working!
One just has to be patient as a mechanical system with a slow reaction (dampening) is simulated. No instant success like in 1946.

It is supposed to work with bombers only. No fighters at all.

Interesting. Could your provide some details please?

The reason i'm asking is that i keep pressing the key i have mapped to it but i don't even get the kind of confirmation that i get for other controls (the blue text on the right-hand side of the screen that tells me for example, that i switched my fuel tanks to main or turned on my lights, etc). Maybe it is tied to the realism setting for bombs, preventing us from using it if the setting is on? I'm just guessing here by the way.

I'm also very interested to see the implementation you describe, since in the real thing most of the times the manuals advised pilots to trim for level flight before engaging the autopilot and not expect it to work all by itself.

I can't wait to start experimenting with some level bombing

Have not tried it, but from 1946 experience I remember that the name of the actual command was not what people expected.. the translation was off and people were thinking they were enabling one thing when they were actually using another..

Unhappy

Hi everyone...
well after trying over and over again to get the horizontal stabilizer to work with no success i came across this thread about how it might be a matter of time to active it and all that as previosly suggest here. However, time also doesnt solve the problem, at least not for me... and i've tried keeping the button pressed down, taping over and over again during the flight, but nothing happened. I guess this is really a bug (sorry if someone has already sad that and im just repeating it). Nevertheless, while trying to figure it out i've noticed some other issue regarding bombers: It is impossible to manually drop the bombs when controlling the bombardier, even if u open the bomb bay doors and activate all of your ordiance, it just wont leave the plane (note: the key Drop Ordinance is set). Dropping the bombs in the automated mode, using the Toggle bombsight automation, is working just fine.

I guess thats it for now... Hope they can fix these problems since a lot of us enjoy flying bombers and it would totally ruin it for me if we couldnt fly them as before...
