anybody else having trouble getting the autopilot to engage?
I installed SP1 and I seem to have no problems except I can't get the autopilot to engage. I run the default MV stack.
I can get the popup for the KAP140.The manual says hold the power button for 0.25 seconds. I can put the little hand over the power button and click it both on the popup and in the cockpit panel itself but it doesn't engage. I can see it go thru the self diagnostic when the avionics power up. I have a button on my HOTAS X mapped to autopilot engage/disengage and it doesn't work either. It works fine on my other aircraft. I've read the manual but I must be doing something wrong.

Hi... have you tried to press and hold for at least 1-2 seconds in VC or popup? I think 0.25 secs is a bit short. AP working fine in Porter for me.
