When I press the APP button my heading light goes out

Featured Replies

I'm using FSX Steam Edition and a GoFlight MCP-Pro Autopilot. Any of my other aircraft work correctly but the Phenom 100 won't. When I'm nearing a ILS locator and I press my APP/APR button it lights up but my Heading button should stay lit until I catch the ILS beam, only then should it go out but it dosn't the Heading light  goes out every time I press the APP button. Any Ideas for a fix would be welcome?

So what happens after you press the APP button and the Heading light goes out? Does the Phenom 100 capture the Localizer and then the Glidescope? Or does the plane ignore the ILS guidance?

It ignores the ILS totally

Your Highness,

 

Couple of ?s. Have you tried flying the Phenom 100 without the GoFlight MCP-Pro Autopilot to see if it behaves correctly? Do you have another current Carenado aircraft with the G1000 that works correctly with the GoFlight MCP-Pro Autopilot?

 

I'm assuming the CDI on the G1000 PFD is set to VOR1 (green needle) and you're trying to capture the glidescope from below its beam. Maybe try a different airport, ILS, etc.

 

I use the WeFly Autopilot with the Phenom 100 and had to disable the native Carenado autopilot to make it work. In the "panel.cfg" REM out gauge02.

gauge01=EMB500_G1000!G1000_Audio,  437,0,75,423
//gauge02=EMB500_GAUGE!AUTOPILOT_EMB100,  0,403,435,109

etc

I think that has fixed it Twenty6 ..... As long as I start FSX with a default airplane such as a Cessna and then when in flight I can change to the Phenom and the pressing the APP button dosen't turn of the heading light... Many thanks
