XPlane Autopilot

Recommended Posts

After reading through a few pages of topics... am I the only one who can't get the autopilot to function properly on pretty much every aircraft in XPlane? I just upgraded the SSG E-170, for instance, and the first time I flew it, the AP worked well. I was able to complete a full flight, which I had never been able to do before. Tried it again the next day and the AP is effed again! Will not follow a heading, will not hold a climb or altitude... I have the same problem with everything else as well, it seems, even the Zibo 737. Am I alone in the world, or is this a common problem with an easy fix that I can't find a mention of??

do you happen to have the trim assigned to an axis or a slider ?
In some planes moving the trim wheel will disengage the AP, and with some hardware there is always some jitter on the axis.

I'll look into that. Thanks! Maybe there's something assigned that I'm not aware of...
