flight director

How do you call up the flight director if you don't have servos? From everything that I am reading, you need servos just to get access to the menu.

SkyView does not yet have a Flight Director. Our highest autopilot priority has been to add basic functionality, and then add vertical nav. And then we will add flight director commands, which will provide guidance whether or not you have servos.

Thanks much--explains why I could not find it

I was looking at your list of incorporated, in-process, and future capabilities---and did not see the flight director on the list---is it being book-kept under vertical nav (advanced autopilot)?

The flight director is now added as a "future" under the autopilot section. Thanks for catching that.

I thought that I had seen the flight director depicted somewhere on the dynon website as a purple inverted V that would depict the roll and pitch commands. Went looking around----could not find it----must have imagined it or something.
