Every second flight i have an autopilot problem

Featured Replies

Hello. I have a problem with engage autopilots and control wheel steerings every second flight. Maybe it's some kind of bug in FO work. I don't know. I've tested it. Two same flight, same job, same route, and in second flight i can;t engage autopilots. I can't explain it better.To made AP works i must reset the plane with state of last exit.Before install FS2Crew i didn't have problems with this.

You can watch this. Maybe I forgot about sth. On this movie I show my problem.

HelloThis is well documented feature and has nothing to do with FS2Crew...you can find many threads about this over the iFly support forums. If you want to engage CMD A or B, you must do so only when the aircraft is fully trimmed and you must not apply any pressure to the yoke. Only then you can successfuly engage the AP - this behaviour is the same in the real aircraft. I can also see in the video, that you definately don't follow the standard procedure after takeoff, you are trying to engage all at once, retracting flaps even though the speed is well below the retraction speed, and so on...I recommend stabilize the aircraft first, reach the flaps up speed, retract the flaps, trim the aircraft so that when you release the yoke it flies itself without you having to interfere, and then it should be possible to engage the AP.If it still won't work, there is also possibility, that your controller might be "noisy" - causing little oscillations of the axis even when you don't touch it. You can try to disable your controller within FS - there is a special setting for this in the assignments menu.
