AUTOPILOT DISC warning activated when pressing AP DISC button during preflight

Featured Replies

Hi, 

I was playing around with the Queen after the first updates come out . Accidentally during preflight preparation, I pressed the AP DISC button (Ctrl-Shift-Z) and the EICAS AUTOPILOT DISC warning was activated even though I had just connected external power with all my engines off and, obviously, no AP nor FD turned on. Pressing it again deactivates it just like usual when in flight. I restarted the simulator and yet the same thing happened. 

I doubt very much that this is the intended behaviour... Can anyone enlighten me on this issue? 

Thanks, 

Edit: Version 3.00.8186, haven't had a chance to check the new version yet.

It happens on the real aircraft, too (intended behaviour or otherwise) :tongue:

The recall that the Autothrottle disc switches do not trigger the Aural (probably because Caution aurals are normally inhibited prior to engine start).

Hope this helps

Cheers
