I am just looking for some user feedback, not sure if this is a bug or user interface.

On the autopilot on the 727 prior to 2.3 I could click the autopilot Turn and Pitch Controller to increase the or decrease the pitch that the autopilot was holding.

However, it seems that post 2.3 upgrade that turn part of the Turn and Pitch Controller works fine but the pitch part is unresponsive.

I also noticed the Flight Director portion with its pitch command and mode selector and while it seems that I can drive the command bars up and down with the pitch command the autopilot ignores the pitch bar.

Am I missing something here? Even if I manually set a pitch via CWS and reengage elevator the autopilot seems to have a mind of its own.

I guess this is answered in the next question and the solution is here. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or !!


I searched the KB using the terms pitch and autopilot and did not come across this solution.

I applied the patch and while the pitch knob now works it hunts allot as opposed to holding the pitch you set. i.e. I set 5.0 degrees pitch and the airplane hunts between 4.6 and 5.6 until settling in a minute or two latter on 5.2.

I've found that when I turn on the elevator master switch, it takes control of pitch...but when I turn off the elevator master (leaving the aileron master on) it doesn't let go of it.  I move the yoke and nothing happens.

But here is the crazy part...if I then flip the altitude hold on and then off again, I can control pitch with the yoke normally.  I have to do the altitude hold "on/off" routine every time I turn the elevator master off (with aileron master on) in order to control pitch with the yoke.

Sorry to bud n here with this issue. I just installed v2.4 and so far I have found that the pitch is uncontrollable...It stall me very often.
I wen to the KB to see the solution posted above.
But I have no idea where to add it; I have 727-100 and I just jumped from v2.2 to 2.4

Can anyone assist?

Instruction #2 tells you where to place the file.

1. Please download the file. (Link removed).
2. Move the file to [Microsoft Flight Simulator X Root Folder]SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B727-100\panel folder. Press 'Yes' when asked to replace the file.

Example: I would to paste it into this folder here:- E:\Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B727-100\panel

Hope this helps

Sorry Sanal.

I don't need the fix because I'm using the 727 v2.4 and the AP works very well. I was just showing Bernardo where to put it.

The only problem I had with the AP was the ILS and G/S. They now work very good. But not until after I read the post by LOU (a former 727 pilot) in which he explained how the AUTO G/S and MANUAL G/S on the AP go about catching the ILS and G/S - Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or !!
.

The information he has given us about flying the 727 make flying it really fun! It did for me (except for the loss of avionics power after 11 minutes). I highly recommend you reading his posts in that particular Topic -Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or !!
(same Topic, just the beginning of it).

I believe that Captain Sim said that they have a minor fix coming "soon" for the A/P problem for SP2 for FSX.

You wont be able to get 2.3 anymore because CS remove them and only leave the latest version available for download. So you will only get 2.4. Each version of the CS727 Base Pack can be installed on it's own without having to install a previous version. DONT DELETE OR GET RID OF YOUR csp721_2200.exe, csp722_2200.exe & csp723_2200.exe (if you have any of the Expansion Packs). KEEP THEM! Keep it/them just in case you are NOT happy with how 2.4 performs, and you can uninstall 2.4 and reinstall 2.2.
