I've never had any problems with the 757 since buying it last year (v 4.2) I can't remember which version of FSUIPC it installed, but it worked fine. I'm now using FSUIPC 4.60 (registered version) without any problems. FSUIPC doesn't need to be registered for the 757 to work with it.

You could try downloading the 757-200 Base Pack again (get a new link after check-in to your profile in the support pages). That fixed a strange problem with some gauges and buttons I had with the 757-300 Expansion Model (which seemed not be installing everything needed).

Got the same issue. Delete all relative fsuipc files inside modules folder in main fsx folder, then install the latest unregistered free version of fsuipc (4.60a).
Restart fsx when done.
It worked for me.

How far away from leg 1 is the aircraft?????  Try flying to the first leg manually and then intercept the course.....see if the A/P doesn't engage then....also.....is the FD switch on?  Not sure if this helps but I am trying......lol Wink

You have to be withing 5 degrees of the route before the IRS will lock into the autopilot. You either did not select a SID (Standard Instrument Departure route) or you went too far off the Flight Plan before engaging LNAV and VNAV OR you have a discontinuity in your Flight Plan (make sure you select the next LEG in the flight plan after the DISCOUNTINUITY boxes then paste that leg or type it into the DISCONTINUITY boxes). Fly VFR until you are within 5 degrees of the Flight Plan and then retry engaging CMD and then LNAV and VNAV. You should feel the autopilot taking control at that point.

Hello there, My first post here and I can't wait you answer this one.


Page 37 of the "B757 PART II – Aircraft Systems" manual I can read:

7. Speed Knob:

... "When VNAV is engaged, pushing the speed knob transfers control of the aircraft speed to the FMS from the speed knob. A subsequent push transfers the speed control from the speed knob to the FMS... Manual speed selection (speed intervene) does not disengage VNAV...

No matter how I click on this knob: right click, left click, 2D, 3D panel I can't "push" the knob in order to engage manual speed selection and left VNAV engaged. It react as if I wanted to twist the knob, as if there were no sensitive area.

So my questions are:

Is the manual wrong and there's no manual speed selection mode while VNAV is active ?

Am I clicking the wrong way ? What would be the good way to click the knob ?

Thanks for helping

Right click the heading select buttton, LNAV will disengage and the plane will fly the heading in the heading window.

Delete all FSUIPC related files from your FSX\Modules\ folder, download the latest FSUIPC and install that.

I do! Just about gave up on the B757 until I discovered v4.4 which I cleanly installed. I have registered copies of FSUIPC and Wide FS.

Did a test flight today and all I could do was to take off then when I engaged LNAV and VNAV the aircraft turned left and kept turning without any control. VNAV does not follow speed constraints and LNAV don't work.

I forgot to mention that I just reformated my PC which runs on Vista 64 PRO!

On the other hand, I have a friend which has the boxed version and everything works fine with v 4.4! Go FIGURE!  Undecided

I strongly suggest reading the previous posts in this thread. There's an answer to your problem there

I just did and try to redo the flight. Nothing works with the autopilot! Nothing. I can even steer the aircraft with AP engaged....

Ok, I would like to do a flight in the 757, but I have no Idea how to work the Auto Pilot.  I know were some of the of main buttons, like the Auto Pilot Master switch, and the dials.  But I don't know how to make them work.  Any help would be good.

Thanks
