Cannot engage autopilot

Post by snapshot21 » Fri Jun 07, 2019 4:35 am

Hi,
I have trouble engaging the autopilot, all I can do is set the Baro after PFT completes. The buttons are unresponsive.

Hi, is it your first Milviz with the really nicely modelled KAP Autopilot? It's working like a charm if you read the manual closely and follow the procedures. My first assumption is you do not keep the AP engage button pressed for at least more than 1second. It's not a click and go one.

Cheers
Thorsten

So where is this manual? I've checked in usual places and have not found it.

Hi Jim...

What about the Porter product page download section?

https://milviz.com/flight/products/PC6/index.php

Or your install folder?

YourDrive:\YourPrepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\MV_PC-6_Base\Manual

Have Fun ;)
T.
