Good morning,

 

I am doing a flight and I think I have followed the procedures outlined in the Tutorial to include using the AFE. However, when I attempt to engage the autopilot, the switch wont turn on. Was this an issue on my end or is there I step that I might have missed that would not allow me to engage the autopilot?

Proud simmer since 1982 using the following simulators: Sublogic Flight Simulator 1 and 2. Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0, 5.1, FS95, FS98, FS2000, FS2002, FS2004, FSX (and unfortunately Flight!). Terminal Reality Fly 1 and 2. Sierra Pro Pilot, Looking Glass/Eidos/Electronic Arts Flight Unlimited I, II and III, Laminar Research X-Plane 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, FS Aerofly 2, Lockheed Martin Perpar3D 2.X, 3.X, 4.X and 5.X and Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020). Not to mention numerous combat simulators and games related to flight that I have played with over the years.

Gyropilot switch on
Autopilot clutch lever (back side of pedestal, bottom left)
Mode switch must be on Gyropilot (not LOC or APP)
Turn knob must be centered
