A/P is broken on the latest version of X-Plane

[TheSystemGuy]

I don't know if this issue is documented or not as I've heard the devs of this amazing DC-3 addon are working on an update but I'm going to put this out. The autopilot is completely broken on the latest version of XP12. When I first bought it, the A/P worked just fine. Nowadays upon trying to turn it on, all the screens flash followed by a Gizmo error coming up.

Thanks for the report and for attaching the log. The cause is almost certainly a dataref that recent X-Plane 12.4.x updates renamed or removed. Your log has a couple of those rename warnings logged at startup, unrelated to the DC-3. The v2 of the DC3 code predate those renames, and we have not patched the legacy version against the latest sim changes. We do have a new DC-3 in the works. Right now our engineering effort is going there rather than back into legacy v2. Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.

It's not a huge deal given that it's outdated and you're working on a (probably free) update that will fix these issues. I'm glad I was able to help you hunt down another bug.
