Okay, I could now RTFM but decided to ask here. What happend? And how to get the AP running again?

I am convinced I have no failures enabled. Any idea what triggered that outage, AP now not being available. Will try to handfly to EGLL now...

did another flights which wanted to start like the one before. exept that now I noticed that a TCAS warning was shown withTCAS being on standby, like on my screenshot above. turned TCAS on and so far so good, enroute to EFHK. 

in case someone is knowledgeable, can a deactivated TCAS (actually on standby) trigger/cause an F/CTL ALTN LAW message like the one above? Or is that just coincidence?

No. At least not in real life.

This is usually due to an abrupt weather change in MSFS. To return to normal law, turn on ELACS 1 and 2 in the overhead and then turn them back on again.

Yep, concur with Donstim, I've seen this happen several times. Flipping the ELACs will do it.

Happened to me once too. Donstim wrote the solution. Sometimes MSFS has unusual sudden weather changes (wind, temp, pressure), which results in the system not trusting itself anymore. So it tells you 'I don't feel well and I'm going home now to get a hot bath'.


 

Is there any way to fix the sudden weather changes in MSFS? Because if you are not near your computer then you also cant flip the ELACS. Otherwise i cant use 321 or the a330 for long haul flights.
