August 20, 201510 yr Can anyone give me possible reasons why the autopilot in my T7 has suddenly stopped working and will not engage, bearing in mind I have using it successfully for many years many thanks Patrick Horan aka Patrico
August 20, 201510 yr Any recent update in version or change in the options? Maybe realistic AP engagement option previously off and now ON? Romain Roux Avec l'avion, nous avons inventé la ligne droite. St Exupéry, Terre des hommes.
August 20, 201510 yr What do you mean "stopped working?" Can you be a little more specific please. Dan Downs KCRP
August 20, 201510 yr Author it will not engage Major i.e turn green no changes Bud many thanks Patrick Horan aka Patrico
August 20, 201510 yr Are you able to reproduce it on every flight? I know you said you have used successfully for many years but... just to ensure it is not a wrong manipulation but a bug, have you checked all the conditions for the AP engagement? Amongst others: _ F/Ds ON _ No force applied to the yoke/control wheel (if realistic AP engagement option set to ON) _ Trim correctly set _ Above 400ft AGL... _ IRS aligned _ Any warning on the EICAS? _ Any failure activated? What is the situation when you try to engage the AP? (MCP modes, aircraft attitude...) Maybe a few screenshots would help (main panel with PFD, ND, EICAS, and overhead panel).

August 21, 201510 yr Author Hi Bud, thinking some more on your first post on this subject I have made some changes I forgot about, I have now mapped my Saitek Pro Flight Yoke to FSUIPC as FSX could not handle I thought I had done the calibration correctly ( obviously not ) as I am certain that's where the problem is.On looking at the synoptic on the T7 by pressing the FCIL button my PFD, I can see clearly see he elevator reflected downwards. I tried using my yoke to center it, but it only moves hard up or down. I have tried in vain to calibrate it , but at least now I know what the problem is many thanks Patrick Horan aka Patrico
August 21, 201510 yr Great! Now you don't issue with the AP anymore but rather with the yoke calibration... How did you configure the yoke in fsuipc? Direct calibration? fsx axis? I personnally use the 737 PFC yoke configured in direct calibration but with no calibration at all in the calibration window of fsuipc and it works fine.
