Hi Luis,
what u can do with the old comp is delete all saved flights from FSX and then try the CS 757...this problem is overlooked many times. I'm glad u have tit running in u'r second comp, but having it run in u'r primary is something quite different..see if that helps in any way..another thing u can do is turn off firewall and anti-virus while u download the addons and turn them back on after the download...hope it works out for u.

All I want to do is fly using the auto pilot like you do with the other planes in FSX, without spending 40 minutes being frustrated with the FMC, I just want to turn the thing on and fly. Is this not possible?

Hello there,
I'm also experiencing the same problem with autopilot - it doesnt work. The only thing that works for me are the vertical modes, but autothrottle doesnt respond. This means after leveling off at certain level, engines remain in full climb power (or derated according to FMS) resulting in overspeed. Lateral navigation (LNAV, HDG SEL, HDG HOLD) doesnt work at all.
IRS alligned, FD on, AT on, CMD A,B,C (tried all) and FMS fully programmed.
I also asked my friend - real 757 pilot for help and he also couldn't find out what's wrong. Maybe at this point someone will tell me that this is not a real simulation but just a game. Well that's correct but other addons which I own (another company, LVLD) are ok and don't have such stupid problem with autopilot.
One more thing. I tried to load CS757 after loading my default flight, and also after loading default flight you get in fresh copy of FSX installation.
And the last problem I get - autobreak is always in RTO position after loading CS757 and clicking on it (LMB and also RMB) doesn't move the switch.
This is my first post in this forum and I'm very sad it has to be like this. If anybody has got some suggestions I would be very pleased to try it. Thank you very much for responses.
Take care.

P.S. Why CS remains so silent??? They have to know about this issue, because so maaaaaaaaany people are experiencing it.

Hi, I would need an I help.
The 757 autopilota is activated without problems, but in reality he/she doesn't answer to the commands. The airplane doesn't respond to the commands of the autopilot... from thing it depends?
I premise that I have Windows 7 64 bits, 757 Last version and FSUIPC 4.53 installed.
Thanks

Hi

Make sure you have Flight Directors On and LNAV and VNAV  selected once airbourne and A/T swtiched on, and then at least one of the CMD on autopilot on

Hope this helps

When i click the CMD switch my plane starts rocking side to side and not keeping the heading, not climbing and holding altitude and not staying the at the indicated set speed!

Do you have the latest  service pack (4.4) installed? The problem was fixed there, and it works for me!

Unfortunately you will need to wait for another company to create a patch that is created to work with their method of packaging the product. When I last checked (out of curiosity), just before posting this, it was still only the 4.3 patch available. Sad

What's going on?

Lately when I fly the 757-200 I will get to the end of my flight, and on my final, when the autopilot will cease to function I always program the FMC with a reserve of 10, and a cost index around 10, yet I still get no response from the autopilot, am I programming it wrong? What's going on?

First thing. Is it turning itself OFF? Do you have to control it manually when that happens?

I can only think of a couple of things that might cause that to happen.
Have you set the Autopilot to catch the ILS and Glide Slope (pressed the LOC button followed by the APP button on the MCP)? I find I must press the APP button when below the G/S.
Have you set an ILS runway, STAR and TRANS in the FMC?
You can also check for an END OF ROUTE message on the FMC. The Autopilot switches to ALT HOLD, SPEED HOLD and HEADING HOLD if that message appears (I think). It's a long time since I have done a flight without using the FMC program with ILS, STAR & TRANS.

Assuming that you have done all that, I can't think of any other reason for the Autopilot to cease to function.

I need to clarify that sometimes it's not on final, like the flight I just took, which was far shorter than the one I had taken, I turned my head to look at something else for a second, came back, the autopilot was completely off. I just don't understand it, again like always  both reserves and cost were set at 10, it's getting frustrating.

I did have a thought, could it be that I am programming something else other than the reserve and cost index wrong? would that cause the autopilot to cut off?
