Ailerons frozen

[bpieke]

Very strange issue... brand new install... the yoke moves in the airplane when I move my FS Yoke,
but the ailerons are fully to the left in the outside view (and wing view out of the cockpit).

What could possibly cause that? Reloading the airplane does not fix it.

Does this affect the behaviour in the air, or is it just the visuals?

Just the visuals.

I believe I can reproduce the effect..

If I approach the runway with the autopilot following an LPV approach, in APR mode, and I disconnect the autopilot at 300 ft AGL, using a Yoke button that triggers the Z key, the autopilot switches off and the airplane reverts to manual control, but the ailerons are still being guided by the disconnected autopilot (visually).
At this point, there does not appear to be a way to recover, at least that I have found..

Clearly, the Z key is not compatible with this autopilot.

If all I do, is use ROL mode, I can disconnect the autopilot with the Z key,
but if I use NAV mode or APR mode, the Z key creates havoc..

SO, for this airplane, only use the mouse on the AP button

Lesson learned.

Also see AP disconnect topic..

Holding down the Z key a bit for disconnect, or two short pushes on the Z key (or assigned button) actually completely disconnect the autopilot.
