If you want to try this unofficial feature, try this:
1) Locate the file "WOFFKeys.xca" at ..//Users/"your_username_here"/Appdata/Roaming/OBD_Games/OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields
2) Open the file with any text editor (e.g. Notepad,...)
3) Insert following line:
Php Code:
<Key ID="Y" Action="AUTO_PILOT_LEVEL" FriendlyDesc="Straight and Level Autopilot" Category="SimControl" P4Use="y"/> 

at the place as shown below (assuming you do not have "Y" key already binded). The result should look like this:

4) Save and close file "WOFFKeys.xca"
5) Run WOFF and test/enjoy.

Stupid question alert, but does this work differently than the autopilot that comes standard?

That autopilot will manuver, follow waypoints, etc.
This one is just like it sounds. Nothing fancy...

Yep, Standard autopilot follows waypoint while Straight and Level Autopilot controls airplane to keep it Straight and Level only.

As a ground pounder too, that was why I have looked for solution... and found this forgotten/hidden level autopilot wink.

Compatible with WOFF UE. If you install WOFF UE over previous version, keys binding incl. Level autopilot remain unchanged.

Once you do the aforementioned "cut & paste", and it's now officially a key command can you now assign it to a joystick in the Workshop controller set-up utility?

I have assigned it to my Saitek X52 Pro joystick without any problem. Open your key assignment settings in Workshop and try it.

It must be there, somewhere. Try to search the file "WOFFKeys.xca" in Windows explorer.
BTW, I am not sure but since WOFF UE release this Straight and level autopilot command is part of default commands accessible via WOFF Workshop and/or WOFFKeys.exe.
