MultiMediaWill 1 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 How is everyone finding the Auto Pilot so far? I am seeing a couple issues with L/VNAV and ILS. What is your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SELCAL 1 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Autopilot doesn't engage for me. Control sensitivity for disconnect is set to low and no trims are actuated when trying to engage it. I press the engage switch and nothing happens. Also speed and climb vertical modes in climb do not pitch for airspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MultiMediaWill 1 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Is anyone else having troubles with Altitude hold? The CRJ does not want to seem to hold my altitude and will even randomly climb 1000+ feet over the altitude preselector even with the proper altimeter settings.

M4V3R1CK 242 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 vor 9 Minuten, Yves LAMBERT sagte: Same for me... Impossible to engage autopilot Somehow I had this once but it turned out to be a glitch of the sim itself. I started a new flight and the issue was gone. Otherwise ... In the EFB is an option which sets the sensitivity of the autopilot until it disengages. Have you already tried to reduce the sensitivity there? Maybe this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to clear/solve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemoff 1 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 In general i have to say - i love the Plane... the first one i really enjoy to fly in MSFS2020. BUT I also have the autopilot issues: - Flight Plan programmed (no discontinuities, good route) - Yaw Dampers on - FMS initialised with TO/GA Button before take off thrust - stready, trimmed climb - FMS1 set as Nav Source when i press the AP button i see a brief green flash and a few beeps but the AP does not engage. i used a thrustmaster warthog joystick, which delivers steady control input and no fluctuations. is there anything i could have overlooked ? Thank you in advance for ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The7thS0N 21 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Yep... same with me. AP will not engage. i have tried several flights and none of them worked. they'll get it fixed i am sure. I just hope i am not doing something wrong lol. Love the plane tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer metzgergva 210 Posted March 17, 2021 Developer Share Posted March 17, 2021 If the autopilot does not engaged you have either done a preselection of modes which are incorrect or you have controller inputs that are outside the range of tolerance. Try a manual steady flight and then switch the FD on and the AP. It should show Pitch and Roll and then select further modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer metzgergva 210 Posted March 17, 2021 Developer Share Posted March 17, 2021 Plese veryfy that your controls are delivering zero at center position. use the sensitivity slider and the other adjustments to have tem nicely centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CRJ does not want to seem to hold my altitude and will even randomly climb 1000+ feet over the altitude preselector even with the proper altimeter settings. As it looks, I have the same problem. Could you solve already your problem with the altitude? I fix all the dates correctly in the FMS, but after take off and initialize the AP, the plane moves from the fixed altitude FL150 to an altitude between FL200- FL 250 or even higher.....
