2 problems lights, autopilot
I'm having a bit of a delma here
1. I can't seem to get the coupler to work at all I've read the manual and pretty much have an idea how it is supposed to work, but it still won't engage.
It also is either in pitch hold or altitude hold one or the other when I turn off altitude hold it will stay in level flight, moving the stick does nothing
2. The ADI has no light at night, and you can't see the needles on several of the gauges including the HSI
The info panel on the right front console is out as well
I'm hoping it's a switch that I can't find
I hope someone can help me with this.....I like flying at night

Re: 2 problems
I believe there is a knob on the left forward console that controls the main flight instruments.
Also you need the attitude hold switch on in order to engage altitude hold. Moving the stick with altitude hold engaged will disengage it. I will have to check manuals to figure out again how the auto land works.

Re: 2 problems
when I disengage the alt hold I can't change the pitch I have to disengage the autopilot master change the pitch then re engage the autopilot master.
also I can't seem to get the coupler to work
I'll look around for that switch
Thanks

Re: 2 problems
I found the switch for the lights
works like a champ
now on to the autopilot
I see on the in sim menu.....toggle auto steerpoint sequence (inactive).....
is there something that needs to be turned on that I'm not seeing
Thanks

Re: 2 problems
did that
I was having a real bad pitch problem ended up reinstalling my joystick
I can at least trim it for climb ect
I'm wondering if it's windows 10.....

Re: 2 problems
Sensitivity sliders set to max in P3D for control axes and null zones to min?

Re: 2 problems
I map all my controls through FSUIPC

Re: 2 problems
That might be part of the problem. How does your FSUIPC profile look? There is a specific way it needs to be handled in order for it to function correctly.

Re: 2 problems
It's just the basic flight controls nothing else no specific profile, the basic flight controls are setup through FSUIPC and then I turn off controllers on the options page in settings

Re: 2 problems
it goes direct to FSUIPC
I use a x55 that has seen better days, but it works good.....rusty but trusty.....
I use profiles for type aircraft,SEL,MEL, 4 engine jet, ect, and specific aircraft, LEAR 35, F-14, ect
I tried it with the Jstick enabled and with a new FSUIPC ini.....just removed the ini from the modules folder.....no joy
