bryank1988 7 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'm on the latest version and I've been having this issue since the very beginning of this aircraft. With the correct course, heading, frequency and being in NAV1 mode my autopilot will want to turn the aircraft hard left when in APPR mode. I will be exactly on the localizer but it doesn't seem to register with the autopilot. When hand flying the FD also wants a hard left turn. The glide slope seems to have a hard time capturing as well. I'm very familiar with how this system is supposed to work as I am an aircraft technician in real life and something just isn't adding up here. I tried flying the ILS 16R into Denver this morning and the autopilot just won't cooperate. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verified Developer Hans Hartmann 3695 Posted January 27, 2019 Verified Developer Share Posted January 27, 2019 Does the autopilot try to turn to heading 0°? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryank1988 7 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hmmmm, I'll have to try another flight to see, but that might be what's happening. Sometimes it wants to go right and sometimes it goes left. Is there a fix if that's the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verified Developer Hans Hartmann 3695 Posted January 28, 2019 Verified Developer Share Posted January 28, 2019 I had a similar problem with an upgraded P3D 4.4 a while ago. Everything was set correctly, all values were right, but still the aircraft would simply turn to 0 degrees heading instead of going anywhere near the localizer course. I tried a lot of things but ended up with a clean P3D 4.4 install which finally fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryank1988 7 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Wow, that's a bummer. I don't want to have to reinstall all of my addons again. I'm still on 4.3 so do you think upgrading to 4.4 would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwise7 37 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Has another option been found to correct this error. Reinstalling an otherwise operational sim is not an ideal solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brownshoe 0 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Happened to me, so I tried an approach and just let it go where it wanted to go. It tried to re-join the FMS course to the Initial Approach Fix. So I tried something... I have "Ctrl + N" mapped to change the nav source from GPS/NAV. So I hit it, and the airplane turned around and hooked up on the ILS just fine. Nothing changed on the PFD- LOC and GS still active, except now it works. So maybe try loading a default aircraft first, then making sure you're in NAV mode, then loading the CRJ? That's what I did, and it seems to be working.

Verified Developer Hans Hartmann 3695 Posted April 4, 2019 Verified Developer Share Posted April 4, 2019 GPS/NAV... wow. I never thought of that, but it makes sense as the autopilot doesn't get any ILS data in GPS mode. I'll add a line that automatically switches it to NAV on loading.

Is this something that should be in a present update, or something coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verified Developer Hans Hartmann 3695 Posted April 5, 2019 Verified Developer Share Posted April 5, 2019 I still have to implement it, so it's something that will be coming in a future update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
