July 4, 201411 yr Hi guys I have been programming the autopilot on the B737 NGX and all the functions Hdg,Nav,Ias, Etc. wook ok but I can' t keep the Autopilot CMD button on. It lights up when I press it then goes out as soon as I release it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

July 4, 201411 yr Hi Tom Try keeping LINDA open in the background with the Saitek switch panel page selected. I don't know why (yet) but for some buttons, LINDA can cycle (toggle) the expected action.

July 4, 201411 yr Author Hi, I have fsx,Linda, and spad all running and displayed while trying to set autopilot. I have tried autopilot cmd toggle on/off, autopilot on, and autopilot off. I am using the 737 ngx settings. It tried the autopilot on and off with the use fsx also. Light blinks but does not stay on.

July 4, 201411 yr On the assumption that the Autopilot CMD button works correctly within the 737 simulation (using the mouse), try assigning the functions to another joystick button that appears in the top 5 lines in LINDA. As I mentioned, there appears to be an anomaly when LINDA is working with higher order buttons (ie. above 6).

July 15, 201411 yr hi, good for you but did the last remark from sctflieger did the trick or did you just reboot?
July 18, 201411 yr Author Hi Just did a reboot. Some reason worked after that. Still having trouble with buttons staying on. Will try different Lower buttons as suggested.
