I just recently purchased this airplane but I cannot seem to get the autopilot to engage.  All of the lights on the panel work fine, the Avionics Master switch is on, the Autopilot switch is on, but if I go to engage the heading button and or altitude hold button the lights come on but will not hold either the heading or the altitude.  Is there something I'm missing.  I'm sure It's something simple I'm overlooking.  Thanks for the help.

Hello Rodger.

I understand that you have the Avionics Master and the Autopilot switches, which are located to the left of the pilot's yoke, both on. And just to double check, do you also have the Autopilot ENG (Engage) switch, located in the center of the AP panel, also on?

And what sim are you using?

Thx,

Al
