Fenix a320 knocked off course

Featured Replies

I'm flying Seattle to Fairbanks in the fenix a320. During cruise the autopilot has been knocked off course several times. Is this a bug or is it some strong gust of wind and the waypoints being spaced too far apart. Some of these are like 300nm away. I'm able to quickly reacquire the flight path but its annoying. I even updated the wind info to see if that would help.

Do you have "Turbulence" set to minimum as per the Fenix recommendations?

nope

Only time i have seen that, was either an extreme weather event, or where there's a sudden change in the conditions due to how the weather is implemented  in the sim. Are you hitting Alpha floor, again will cause the protection to disconnect the AP

It also happens if you come into close proximity with AI traffic, or at least it does with AIG which is what I use.  You should get traffic warnings to allow you to maintain separation (the AI won't move) but if you leave the sim unattended and have a near miss, it will be on HDG mode rather than LNAV when you come back.

About a month ago, a group of us were flying the same course. Some on Vatsim, some not. We were spaced out pretty good, and I also think we were in different airframes.

As we all hit the same geographical point, we all had the OPs problem. As near as we can tell, we hit an area where MSFS updated the weather and the changing conditions made the plane think something had happened and kicked off AP.

Heres another solution that worked for me - may or may not be the case with you...

I had TM Rudder pedals that had become 'dirty' in the potentiometer (not sure of spelling!) ...but because they would flicker, during cruise they would wildly move and disconnect the AP...

I tried to clean the item - lengthy process that didnt work - so eventual bought some Turtle Beach Velocity One pedals and since then the issue has been gone...

As i say, may or may not be the case with you...
