AP Bug in SU6: Cessna 172 "start flight without workaround"

Featured Replies

Hi, everybody,

I've discovered a bug in SU6. It seems that only affects to Cessna 172.

When I select in Assistances, "Start flight without workaround" the AP is not working whatsoever when I start parked (cold and dark).

But if I start the flight on the runway, the AP works perfectly.

The other aircraft work ok.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Greetings

Which Autopilot ? GFC500 "from" the G1000 or Classic and its vintage KAP140 ;) ?

Hi, Vincent,

Every AP on Cessna classic (basic) or G1000.

I've unselected the new "start flight without workaround" and the AP works OK.

Hi,

I have to leave now.

Will continue tomorrow morning.

Thank you for your attention.

I hope the devs will fix this!

I have the "Start flight without workaround" selected and I can engage AP of the stocked C172 Classic.

Check my free MSFS sceneries : https://flightsim.to/profile/vbazillio/trending and my hardware configuration.

With "Start flight without workaround" Assistance, the Cessna c-208 g1000 pilot's screen is not working. Remains black.

The new 707 loads powered up, not cold and dark, should we return to start with workaround?

On the HJET G3000, after takeoff, I had to spin the HDG bug around to the magenta direction before FMS would turn on.

I see the same.

The Garmins (C172 Basic) initialize but the A/P does not.

Yes, Adamski_NZ,

It's "walkaround". My mistake!

Thank you for the correction (but I don't know how to correct the title of the post!).

Cheers

Thank goodness for that! I thought there was a hidden feature that I hadn't discovered LOL!

One temporary workaround for this, maybe to hit "ctrl+e" once the C172's engines and systems are up and running. If there are any 'hidden' systems that haven't been initialized from the FLT files, they will activate them.

I don't mean just using ctrl+e to start the aircraft! I mean, do your usual start routines and at the point where everything seems to be started - but the AP isn't working - try hitting ctrl+e.

Hi, JYW,

Thank you for your help.

I haven't try yet, but I'll do it.

By the way, sometimes the AP doesn't work at all and sometimes after a while it activates itself.

Well, it's a bug that I think will be fix it soon. I hope so...

Regards
