So the direction is reversed for manual mode.
Is this intentional? (Mind boggles)

It had the tendency to stop a few degrees short of the desired heading, so I raised the P and D values, which seems to have helped.
It depends on your style also and comfort. Sometimes making the autopilot steer straighter uses less power, at least on unstable courses.
The course was nice and straight, autopilot was doing a good job. Just that the heading was 3-4 degrees downwind of what was dialed in.

This pilot is not at all functional yet and I don't think it produces output commands or anything. I haven't even had a chance to make trials. It should not be in the list unless you installed tensorflow so I'm surprised it was available.
Do you know how I can get the autopilot working again?
