There are no solutions yet for AP disconnect and other issues neither from CS nor from users.
More then that as it was assumed by Captain Sim, we shouldn't expect for the next SP "any sooner than Spring '09.":

The only thing you can do is to open and send Ticket in CS Support section.
I feel really sad about this "timetable". CS B757 has VERY limited flyability for me until AP issue will be fixed.

I have this same issue as well, no control of aircraft or throttles after de-activation(unless you pause sim and let it sit a few seconds). I guess I will also go back the the previous version. hopefully it's a simple fix.

I agree with Jean-Luis.

All of you having this problem, try to replace the fsuipc.dll in Microsoft Flight Simulator/Modules folder with an older version (the one that comes with 4.1 is fine) and the AP issue is gone.

Hello,

Yes, the AP disconnect problem has gone for me too by using the FSUIPC version 4.30.

Thanks for the hint.

works here also.

FSUIPC 4.3 works for me as well.  Thanks.

Send me your email address and I'll send you a copy of the DLL.  Press the email button below to reply via email.

Hi, I can't find fsuipc v. 4.3 anywhere on the net. Can any of you please e-mail me the fsuipc.dll (version 4.3), thanks in advance.
My 757 can not be controlled with AP off. (using v.4.4 now).

FSUIPC is required and it's included in the pack.

As for the FSUIPC versions conflict issue, we are in thouch with Peter Dowson to address the issue asap.

FSUIPC 4.3 has NOT worked for me yet.  I haven't been able to get past the CTD after using the CDU problem yet to thoroughly test it out though.  The one flight I actually managed to make to the point of landing still exhibited the AP disconnect problem.

Hi to all, I have the same problems with the A/P.
With FSUIPC 4.4 I have the problems when disconnecting the A/P, if I delete FSUIPC4.DLL I have the same problem, with the rocking problem.
Unfortunately I have only the FSUIPC 4.4 version, and 4.2 release of 757 since I've just bought it.
Can somebody kindly send me a 4.3 version of the FSUIPC in order to try to fix this problem temporarily?
Thanks a lot in advance for the support.

Can someone send me the DLL for FSUIPC version 4.30 as well. It would be much appreciated.

E-mail - popp.ben@gmail.com

Thanks

Sorry, I just received it and I see you send it also to other people.
Thanks a lot!
Bye!

I found FSUIPC 4.28 but have not tryed it yet. If you would be so kind and sent me 4.30 as well. Are we allowed to have attachments on this forum?

Thanks

Found 4.3 at Flightsim.com in the hot files section today it was #61 on the list. Just do a search on the page for fsuipc.

You have to be registered to download but its free to register

After installing 4.3 version the A/P disconnecting issue is fixed.

Yes, I installed the 4.3 version and have the same problem when I increase the simulation speed to 4X (and above...)
It seems to be a stability control issue, when increasing the simulating speed over a certain value, the AP seems not able to keep the altitude, and the amplitude of the osillations increase gradually up to the stability loss...

You can download 4.3 from here: http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SEARCH1&fsec=98&fname=fsuipc4.zip

This fixed the problem for me.

In that case I don't know. I don't have a registered version of FSUIPC so it was fairly easy for me.

I have the same experience as elyab. I have moved the v4.4 dll out of the Modules-map and placed the v4.3 dll in it. Till now everything works fine.

What I find is this:  Pressing "Z" or your assigned AP Disengage button only disengages the L/C/R command switch.  Actually pressing the AP Disengage bar on the MCP will never cause the problem, but simply pressing the FS AP Disengage soft key/button always will cause the problem.

FSUIPC 4.4... no complaints, fly it like a boeing

CS has confirmed to me in a ticket that another SP for 4.X 757 is "due soon".

Since I don't experience the AP bug when using ONLY the AP Disengage bar (rather than Z or a mapped AP Disconnect soft button), I have to wonder what differs in our systems.

I do get the issue if I *ever* use that button, but if I use the panel for engage and disengage, never have the problem.

Well, I made a liar out of myself just last night.

I had an instance where I was forced to disengage my AP on final approach, and used the AP Disengage bar from the panel.  Then the plane banked left and nosedived to the ground. 

If it happens again, I will try the older FSUIPC and hopefully that corrects the issue.

Hello!

Just bought this new plane, think it's great an all, myriad of buttons, myriad of ways to mess up and crash into a large mountain! So good fun all round.

Having figured out, almost, the complexities of the autopilot (why does it have three?) I can get the plane to hold altitude, headings, and turn on command, etc. The only issue is releasing the autopilot.

It takes about 10-15 seconds to give me back control of the plane which, if that's realistic, seems to be really rather dangerous!

I've uninstalled and re-installed, same issue. I have all the variants of the plane (cargo, 300) and they all behave the same.

Another issue is the right yaw damper "inop" light always stays on but the lane flies as normal.

thanks for any help, info!

Thank you for you help! 

thank you, sorted it out and autopilot now works as it should. just need to turn on the winglets now. ACE seems to be a little bit broken!

I fly online, but only on FSHost servers, not GameSpy.

No problems related to FSHost.

TiggerToo, on your Yaw Damper question - make sure you have your IRS systems initialized, make sure also that all your hydraulic pumps are commanded on and all pressure warnings are extinguished.

As for "why 3", well, why not?  Two are better than 1, and 3 are better than two.  The real reason?  Autoland.  You need to have at least 2 AP's online to have Autoland functional- so the third redundant system allows you to still get autoland if you have an AP system fail.

At least that's how I understand it. 

Can someone message me with how to get the DLL please? It might also help me with the crash to desktops when cycling views. I did get the AP problem, but I've only made one flight in this, the CDTs stop me from doing more.

Please replace the current version of FSUIPC4.dll you are using in [FSX Root Folder]\Modules folder with FSUIPC 4.50 from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html and let us know the result.

Ive got no joy with any of the fsuipc versions or pausing and unpausing!

but i see that it is being adressed so ill wait

and today is the first day of spring!

I'm having this issue also.

Same result here, 4.30 works but 4.5 does not.

4.3 didnt fix it for me like it did for a lot of other people
4.5 gave me the banking issue

i think i saw a link to 4.3 on this thread a little back...plus a lot of good guys offered their emails if you cant find it...i also remember seeing that CS recognizes this and is working on it

i cant wait!

I am having a problem taking off I did one flight with no problem now I can not stay in the air once I hit V nav and auto pilot the plane starts turing right then left and points the nose up then stalls. I also put L nav also. When I hit TOGA plus the other switch I get a alarm like it is not config for take off. I have flaps 15 and the cdu is programed  like this .IRS align first then yaw damper switches then I get the route in set my weights Gr199.4 reserve 20.0 cruise alt 25000 cost 100 cg 27% thrust set at 60c-d-toset trim to 5 brake is also offany help on this would be great ThanksI might be doing something stupid?

I'm looking forward to this being fixed too, looking forward to a lengthy flight.

im really glad that this is being looked at by the team!

also, somewhere in the backwoods of this post are links to fsuipc 4.3

I'm sure you do but I'm still going to ask, Do you have fsuipc installed?
One day I was doing something tweaking maybe fsx Which I'm always doing can't remember exactly what and took fsuipc out of fsx and forgot about it. Then one day I fired up CS 757 taxied to the active took off climbed to 2000ft agl engaged the auto pilot and that thing started going wild like it had a mind of it's own. I was lost at what the problem could be and then I remembered fsuipc. Once I reinstalled Fsuipc all was normal again. I hope this helps and is the solution to your problem, If not I'm sure someone will come up with something. After all this is why we come here to share experiences and to help each other out.

exactly the same happens to be to david read my previous post and you'll see my point on this aircraft.


Thanks Paul

I had saved all FSUIPC 4 versions since 4.3 up to 4.507.- I tried them and noticed that the most recent version free of the AP disconnect issue is the 4.323, from the 4.325 up, all have that problem.-

This was the reply I got from Pete Dowson (FSUIPC), it should be very useful if Support reads it:

"There is a known issue with Capt Sim FSX B757.- It happens that after disconnecting tha AP, is imposible to regain manual control until 10 or 20 seconds later, which is rather annoying.- The cause has been determined as an incompatibity with FSUIPC"

Known? strange, then, that no one has written to me about it. If this aircraft uses FSUIPC and has run into a problem with later versions, someone should talk to me about it. There is no way I'm ever going to be able to buy and test all add-ons for FS for every new release of FSUIPC!

Did the person who determined this ever state why?

""... and in the forums, the recomandation is to go back to version 4.3.- I made some trials, and noticed that the most recent version free of the problem is 4.323, in newer versions I found the problem. Is there a workaround ?"

It sounds like a possible bug in the Captain Sim add-on: maybe they are not clearing the flag they must be setting in FSUIPC which tells it to disconnect controls. FSUIPC has a 10-12 second timeout on updates to that flag in case of bad or hung apps. If this is all it is I'm sure it is something they can fix quickly enough.
I'm not aware of any difference between version 4.323 and later versions which would change these things, though, unless it worked by fluke before because of some older FSUIPC bug now fixed. I really would need more information to help. Why has no one who knows what they are talking about contacted me?

Regards

Pete
