November 18, 20187 yr Hi Folks, RE: P3Dv4 I'm having some trouble with the AP - can't get the preselect to take - Alt set on selector but button on AP won't illuminate - blows through preselected altitude... Also - unable to get NAV mode to Arm or Track when intercepting GPS course... Regards, Scott

Regards, Scott Scott, Just tried some AP climbs and descents and it worked well as long as I turned over a trimmed a/c to the AP. I am using P3Dv4.3 with Beta ver 2.9. With all the issues you are having, I wonder if maybe you should try a reinstall. Al Edited November 18, 20187 yr by ark

To track GPS you need to be in GPS mode and within 2NM of the tracking course. Sounds like your sim is acting funny!

November 18, 20187 yr Author Hi Folks, OK - sounds good - getting intermittent symptoms - I’ll try the full remove and install when I get some time... Appreciate the help... When I did manage to get it tracking - I tried a quick hold - which it flew perfectly... Regards, Scott
November 19, 20187 yr Author Hi Folks, Since I solved my other button issue - the autopilot seems to be working again as well... Thanks... Regards, Scott
