Should be possible to activate both AP1 and AP2 at the same time. Currently enabling one will disable the other.

Thanks for raising the issue. This will be resolved such that you can support CATIII instrument landings, etc.

Interestingly, the code is already in to display both AP's being enabled!

So long as both of these return true, it should already display AP1+2 on the FMA:
Simplane.getAutoPilotActive(1);
Simplane.getAutoPilotActive(2);

There are specific conditions for activating AP1+2: ILS/GLS, Rollout or Go Around mode only. It is for precision approaches only. In all other cases, and NPA for example only one AP is allowed at a time.

so has this been corrected for allowing dual AP cat 3 B approaches?
