Can't turn FD off

[zpkarol]

First flight with 2.01 release + G500, really enjoying this aircraft, buta small, annoying issue: I can't turn the FD off. According to the docs, it is supposed to go off when SBY button is pressed twice https://www.togasim.com/mu2docs/supplements/spz500.html#flight-director-modes ... but no matter how many times I press the SBY button, the FD stays on.

Anybody else see the same thing?

This may actually a mistake in my documentation.  I have gone over the entirety of the "Supplement 25" for the SPZ system and can find no reference on how to turn off the FD once its been turned on the by SBY switch.  I'm trying to get a hold of some MU2 owners who can verify what the true operation is.   The documentation is a bit sparse actually.  Indications though, are such that it seems it may be this way....in other words, the FD is intended to always be "at the ready".   The excerpt below is from the preflight checklkist for the SPZ.  You can turn it off by cycling the "FLT DIR" fuse behind the pilot left shoulder.

and FYI, I am working on "Autopilot Documentation" with examples and these procedures going into the docs.

Thank you for update! Wow. This is the first AP system that I have seen that does not allow one to turn off the FD once it is turned on.

Maybe consider exposing special command to cycle the FD fuse, ha ha

That's what I love VR for. I turn around and turn off the fuse
