Title: Cannot engage autopilot
Post by arpom on Oct 9^th, 2012 at 3:50am

Hi

I have one issue with autopilot.
Simply it is not working, every time i am trying to engage it, it momentarily is switching off.
Where is the problem ?

( i have yaw dumper turned on and trying to engage autopilot above 1000ft. )
My spec. - FSX + Acceleration Pack, Win7 64

I'm assuming it might be because of a lack of power (avionics?). So...

Is the Avionics Master Switches turned on (there are two of them on the panel behind the FO seat)? Just make sure that they are turned on.
Also, once the engines are running, I put the DC Meter Selector on the TR1 or TR2 or TR3 position, and the AC Meter Selector on the GEN1 or GEN2 position.

This is a problem with many add on aircraft. I've simply assigned a hot-key to the avionics master, "just in case".
