	Okay, now this is in the twilight zone. I turn on the autopilot and autothrottle... It lights up but that is ALL it does. It does not work at all, in other words I have full control of either control and the autopilot does nada. I mean, minus the lights on the autopilot panel I still have full control like the autopilot was disengaged. I tried the Z key to see if there was an internal AP failure, however that wasn't the case :S So it does seem like either we have to transplant an AP system from a different aircraft or most likely contact Captain Sim's support...

	Did you delete and then reinstall fsuipc?

It could be as simple as your friend Checking-in to His Profile > Select Product (757-200 Base Pack in this case) > Extended Download Service > Get New Links and download a new installer to see if that fixes this problem. It could even be worth doing a complete uninstall and remove the registry entry for the 757 as per KB #685, then doing a reinstall. He can always try this one before moving on to a downloading a new installation file. Mark

	Sadly that was what we tried, a fresh download and a new FSUIPC install as well. No effect of neither, we still had the christmas tree effect. We also tried a few different versions of FSUIPC including the 4.60a that I use and stick with for my another company 747. Only thing we didn't try was a reinstall of FSX, he has some other addons and it was a pain tweaking the FSX install (FPS issues and crashes) to make it run smoothly and naturally he doesn't want to repeat that. Anyways, I told him his next step is to ask Captain Sim themselves for help on this, I have gone as far as I can with it in that regard. A little sad really, could have been considering the 757 pending its price and cargo capacity in Air Hauler if I started a new company (Got my 747 right now.)

	ok the problem I'm having with the A/P is it will continue climbing past my set cruise altitude. �It switches to SPD above 10,000 ok. �When it's about 5,000 above my cruise altitdue, I try clicking FLCH with the correct altitude, so then it starts descent, but it seems like it will wander all over the various flight levels. �It's even gone nose down at very dangerous levels that I found myself at 3,000 feet within seconds while trying to turn to next waypoint. I have uninstalled fsuipc 4.5 and reinstalled 4.5. What should the A/P look like during climb then cruise?

	Need help with an autopilot promlem - if I save and then re-load a flight mid-air then the autopilot stops working because the IRS looses alignment and can't be re-aligned mid-air, Is there any way round this? Thanks

	I just gave away the leg to the 757 autopilot. � It did a perfect autoland to RW 16L in KSEA. I took off from KAWO and gave the poor autopilot a good workout. I selected 10,000 feet and 3,000 FPM in the VSI to see what it would do. It did a good job as would the RW plane. It went through the altitude just a few feet and settled down. I did my own vectoring using 30 degree bank turns and flew down to KSEA to do an ILS to RW 16L. I am using Orbx NA Blue scenery and flying into one of the FSX's most dense airports with lots of clouds and still get mid 20's on the FPS. Here is a screen capture of my approach to 16L.

	Hi Lou. Quote: I just gave away the leg to the 757 autopilot. Is that supposed to mean something? I also noticed in the picture, that you don't have the Minimum set on the EFIS. Is that normal for you? Or. Because you were giving the autopilot "a good workout", you couldn't be bothered setting it? Mark

	Giving the "leg" away was a term in the airlines. You would let the copilot fly a leg, that would be giving it away. In this case, I was testing the autopilot since some people are having trouble it seems. All I wanted to do was give the autopilot a good workout and see if some of the problems others seem to be having was a CS model problem or their computer. My 757 flew just fine on the autopilot. I did not get too fancy I just let the autopilot do all the flying. Since I was doing an auto-land I was only interested in seeing what the plane would do, and it did just fine. Setting a number in the ADI for a DH was not something I was interested in since on this auto-land there would be no DH only an alert height. But you have a sharp eye, don't you! � Lou

Having never been a RW pilot, it sounded strange As for the 757 AP. The only time I have a problem with it is when I increase the Simulation Rate above 2x Speed. I have done all sorts of flights without ever seeing it go haywire. Same goes for the 767. Mark

	Today I loaded up FSX and when I reached 2000ft with 200kts I activated the AP(LNAV and VNAV)and instantly the plane banked to the right sharply and dropped altitude,then up,then left,then right until it reached 6,300ft then I took control.Keep in mind that I downloaded all the proper updates.What to do?

	Can you check if your FSUIPC installation is current and installed correctly? The 4.4 757 needs that module, which is a free download from here. http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html Hoping it helps.

	Hi guys, I presume the beta testing will sort out this autopilot issue with LNAV/VNAV not following the route set out on the CDU, even went back to the old tutorial on here and even that did'nt work.

	I reinstalled FSUIPC 4.60a and makes no difference.
