Post subject:  VCP Mode 3

The user guide says the following: Page 28

"CP Mode 3 - With this option you can almost start to relax a little. Not only
will your VCP change COM frequencies when required and handle all the
verbal stuff with ATC but he will also ensure your auto-pilot is correctly setup
up too. So any changes in heading or altitude, instructed by ATC, your VCP
will dial them into the AP".

Since I have just started using PF3 ATC, does VCP Mode 3 also adjusts Heading, Speed etc?. What I have observed is that only altitude is dialed by VCP on instructions from ATC but V/S has to be adjusted by me. Am I right or wrong. Even speed reduction has to be done by me and not by VCP.?

Any clear clarification will be appreciated.
Thanks

Which aircraft are you using? Some high-end third party aircraft developers use their own AP which PF3 cannot access

I use third party freeware Aircraft FlyByWire FBY A321 Nx for Msfs2020

I don't use that aircraft. My go to is the Aerosoft CRJ and PF3 works seamlessly with that.

The FBW A32NX does indeed use a custom autopilot so PF3 may not be able to set all of the FCU values when using VCP Mode 3, as Dave says.
