Quoting from memory it performs the capture with an initial dot and a bit overshoot then a smaller overshoot the otherway before finally capturing the loc.I was merely trying to demonstrate what the afs was capable of!
A300-605r fcom 2.022.03 p11 shows a maximum angle of 60* at 180kt at 15 nm going to 20* at 6nm at 220kt.This however is for a 1980's autopilot!
Obviously doing this high speed capture will not work close in but then you would not be doing 300kts close in either unless you were at an airshow!
