Hello,

today, I tried to run my astrophysics 900GTO mount with INDI. Actually it is hard to find out which driver should I use. I have the GTO CP2 with chip version "D". It seems like only the "astropysics" driver works with this chipset (I cant find lx200ap in the drivers list anymore...). But this one has a serious problem. It does no do a meridian flip.

To reproduce this:
1. start the indiserver with der astrophysics driver.
2. prior connection set in the options meue "simulation on"
3. connect to simulation (with skychart in my case)
4. initialize with current dateTtime and location (using cold init).
5. move from "park3" at the pol to any star 45° in SE
Now the "pier side" states correctly: "West, pointing east"
Problem:
6. When I now slew to any star in 45° SW the mount directly slews there and the peir side stays "West,pointig east"

Where is the meridian flip. With my real telescope, I would have now crashed...
What I am doing wrong?

Regards,
Daniel
