Matt Bacher Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Hello there, Unfortunately I can't activate the autopilot by pressing the "AP" button on the Glareshield Guidence Panel. Yaw damper is on and I'm within the profile of the flight director. It switches off instantly with aural warning plus indication on the Flight Mode Annunciation sub-display (primary flight display). What I'm doing wrong here? Thanks a lot! Cheers, Matt Edited December 21, 2019 by Matt Bacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 This is caused by the aircraft being out of trim - your yoke not being centered. When the yoke isn't centered the autopilot disconnects. Trim so the aircraft is balanced, yoke centered, then engage the autopilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacher Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) It is centered. I checked also via FSUIPC and I even deleted the axis assignments for testing.... Edit: It must be something else, I don't have this issue with other aircraft. Not at all. Edited December 21, 2019 by Matt Bacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobflight Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 look for a 'sneak' setting within your P3D install. something is telling the AP to disconnect. the uncentered yoke has been the cause of this behavior time after time after time since the release of the feelThere ERJ, which has similar behavior, since the FS8/9 days.

Matt Bacher Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Okay, I'll check internal axis assignments of P3D first (all of them should be deleted but you never know) and if it's still not working I'll reinstall and report back. So far, thanks for you help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobflight Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 when i wrote 'trimmed' i mean that the yoke is in the centered position. no yaw, bank or pitch. the plane must be climbing, descending, banking in a trimmed configuration with the yoke centered. 23 minutes ago, Matt Bacher said: Could the developer be so kind and join this topic? I'm part of feelThere ... been part of the team for 15 years. the most recent example: i wrote most of the manual for the Ejets . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacher Posted December 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Sorry I didn't know that. As I told you, I even deleted both axis assignments to make sure this it not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelThere_Vic Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Matt, Do you have FSUIPC installed? Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt: Try putting a larger center null space to assure the yoke isn't sending any data to the game when you believe you have centered your controller.

FeelThere_Vic Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Please remove FSUIPC and disable your joystick and try again. Thank you Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacher Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Thanks for your help guys! I uninstalled yesterday and deleted all leftovers manually. Then I updated FSUIPC again and reinstalled the Embraer. After that it was working. But now, all of a sudden, it happends again! I'm really confused here meanwhile...

scoobflight Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 have you tried running without FSUIPC running? have you increased the center 'null' zone? was working so something on your system changed. how old is your controller?
