You can thank lawsuits for that.

Happened to me as well, for a few days. Then it stopped, have no clue as to why. The only add-ons I have are aircraft.

Well, you wouldn't, of course. But the OP is trying to set the NAV, VS, or HDG functions while still on the ground (which you CAN do in some of the aircraft without the AP automatically coming on). But in the case of the 182, the AP comes on when you do that (as it does when I try it as well). My point is...just don't do that. Set them when you're in the air and the AP comes on when it should. And if this is correct behavior for this setup, then it is not a bug.

It was explained by someone else that this is correct behavior for the autopilot because there is no flight director. Now, I'm no expert in this, but if this is indeed correct, then perhaps Carenado "fixed the issue in the last update. And if it is indeed correct, perhaps that's why almost no one else is reporting this as a problem. I even think I've noticed this behavior with another aircraft but, of course, I can't remember which one. I just don't press nav, vs, or HDG until I turn on the ap in the air and, voila, no problem. But if I press them on the ground, like you, the autopilot comes on.

Then why are you here stirring the pot? I seem to remember you bashing people for coming over to the XP forum and doing exactly what you are doing. Sound like hypocrisy to you? And now you cry name calling again? Doesn't that sound childish to you? Do you get pleasure coming here and calling MSFS a game? Seems pretty childish to me. Are you trying to convince us or yourself?

Post reported for being insulting with no good reason.

I clicked on the top edge of the tablet and it came up.

That happened to me once as well, for the same reason. But after I restarted a new flight with the C414 it started up just fine. Strange that it didn't for you.

The trees do indeed disappear.... When you are colliding with them. How is that a deficiency, unless you are trying to do that all the time? And it's only name-calling if you identify with the name. Now can we please end this?

I never said XP wasn't a serious simulator. But it didn't become that in 2 years. MS is choosing not to go down the commercial route. That doesn't mean it doesn't or never will have the capability to be. And I'm not trolling... I'm seriously considering buying XP 12 when it releases, since I've had just about every other version. I was trying to make a point about the attitides in this forum, which you've demonstrated nicely. The way you look down your noses at MSFS and the people that enjoy it is quite childish and pathetic. But don't worry, you're not the kind of people I want to associate with, so I won't be back.

Fair enough. I will check it out.

Well, since you asked... I wouldn't pretend to know the answer since I'm not the developer, nor do I have the expertise to analyze the programming. Perhaps the trees will move with the wind eventually. As to the trees disappearing up close, I have not noticed that on my system.

The truth is, I don't owe you or anyone else an explanation as to my feelings about MS, XP or anything else for that matter. If you can't handle that, that's your problem. You just keep proving over and over again the toxic atmosphere in here. Now, please stop replying to me, this is obviously going nowhere.

You just keep proving my point... Thank you.

I have a right to be on this forum as much as you do. You post just proves my point.... Juvenile and arrogance.
