Autopilot [Resolved]

Post by romoni » Fri Jul 17, 2020 12:42 pm

Hello!

I have Radios setting -> Flight1 GTN 750/650.

It's very hard to get Autopilot ON. I must use a Yoke button because using a mouse button not work. Ok - after Autopilot start all other buttons work but NAV-button not response and stay gray color.

Any idea about what is wrong?

Not sure what you mean regarding NAV button stays grey in color? I tried testing it , not seeing the problem here.

Yes - I mean color.

Alt button works, Hdg button works, App button works but Nav button not work. For example A2A Skylane 182 autopilot works as it should be with GTN 750.

I see what you mean regarding the autopilot being hard to turn on. Nav doesn't seem to do anything here but heading does as you say.

I'm going to have one of the devs take a look.

Ok I have an answer from a dev for you.

Autopilot button needs to be pressed and held for longer than 2 seconds to become active.

If using a GTN 750 it depends how it is configured. GPS and AUT modes must be active in the panel below the HSI.

Ok - thank You. I will test these tips. BTW - I really pushed AP button over 2 sec but nothing happened earlier.

This was the trick:

GPS and AUT modes must be active in the panel below the HSI

Thank You for Yours help!
