Hightower Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi, I have this strange autopilot problem. Brand new install, and aircraft works great including all autopilot functions as it should. Eventually it will fail to engage, regardless, if I reload FSX, reload the aircraft, etc. I fixed the problem before by doing a complete reinstall. Now its doing it again after working for some time. There must be something that is getting triggered in one of the files to fail the autopilot. Autopilot attempt to engage results in a brief on and off. No matter what is done, or settings. I know how it works, because I obviously use it for flights numerous times. It just eventually fails to operate. Anything that can be done besides reinstalling once again??

scoobflight Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 'high': is the yoke centered, meaning the plane is in correctly trimmed flight, when trying to engage the autopilot? if the yoke isn't centered it will disconnect the autopilot.

Hightower Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yes indeed. Trim centered and in green. Controls centered and verified on the MFD. Joystick calibrated. Works with other aircraft. Like I mentioned, that AP works great initially. After some time, it will just fail to work, and I have to reinstall, after which it works again and the process repeats itself. Just getting annoying to reinstall all the time.

FeelThere_Vic Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 When it happens would you please try to disconnect your joystick? Thank you Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelThere_Vic Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Would you please check your FSUIPC settings? The problem you describe suggest some other issue with the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hightower Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Not sure what you are suggesting. FSUIPC settings are fine and work great for every other aircraft. The problem is with the EJets. As Ive mentioned numberous times, a reinstall of the Ejets will fix this, so clearly its a problem with it, because some flying time with it later, it will do the same thing. I was just trying to avoid reinstalling it every time this happens. Works for weeks, then it doesnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 If it works for a week most likely there is something else that makes it wrong. Do you fly other planes in the meantime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
