Goose Autopilot Question

[Soulmoon]

Ok, I did a forum search for help on this, and the answer I got was that to set the heading on the Goose's autopilot, you used the "large knob on the left side of the autopilot".

However, where it seems like this knob should be (Mousover says "Autopilot", and the cursor changes to a + or a - depending on where the mouse is, there isn't actually a knob... Just an untextured red blotch. The mouseover doesn't have a heading listed in it, it just says "Autopilot"... And so far as I can tell, clicking it doesn't actually produce any noteable effect.

Can anyone help me here?

'Morning, Soulmoon. I don't know how it's SUPPOSED to work, but on my installation, clicking the + or - by the red knob will turn the airplane. I find that holding the left mouse button down for a given length of time lets me control the bank angle (I use 15 -20 degrees), and once I have the desired bank angle I can maintain it by rapidly clicking the button until I get within about 10 degrees of my desired heading. I then release the button and the plane slowly returns to wings-level and maintains that heading. A click or two in one direction or the other will fine tune the heading should you be off a couple of degrees.

I hope this helps until someone with detailed knowledge steps forward.
