CMD A will not work

Recommended Posts

on my most recent flight i took off and tried to engage the autopilot system, however when i pressed CMD A the light would just light up for a couple seconds, and then the A/P DC alarm would ring, but i was able to use CMD C and CMD A, is there a cause that CMD A would Work?

 

This also frequently happens on my NGX, where only one autopilot would work...

This usually means that your hardware is interfering with the sim. Check your calibration. If necessary, there's also a setting in the PMDG SETUP > menus to tell the plane to ignore your hardware entirely when the AP is on.

I am able to enagge CMD B AND C why not A specifically?

I would say it's possible that the ability to engage one autopilot but not the other is coincidental. Do as Kyle suggests and enable the setting to ignore control inputs under A/P.
