Seems like that I have to stick with my other products until this CS problem has be solved.


There is obviously no problem with our product as the majority of people do not have it. There is something wrong either with installation or with following Manuals.

I read the manual backwards and forward and I still have the issue! I program the FMC correctly triple checked my work. When increase my throttles and begin my roll the aircraft will takeoff, the enter a steep climb,it will reach takeoff speed then when I push AP,VNAV,and LNAV the plane loses speed and then stalls out and crashes! Then if a do a manual climb and turn on the auto pilot functions it won't follow flight plan or, the heading hold will not work! I sent a support ticket I was told to read manual in which I did and still the same results. I read here in one of the forums that someone had the same issue and just reverted back to an older version of FSUIC, but the 1.5 update is supposed to remove FSUIC dependecy, if i am correct. I was wonder if maybe it still depending on FSUIC and if so how do go about finding an older version to use? Any suggestions would be helpful. Grin

Rather than pushing the throttles forward at the start of the takeoff roll, press the EPR and let the A/T have control right at the start of the flight. Shortly after passing 200 feet AGL, press one of the A/P CMD buttons. This should turn the SPD HOLD, HDG HOLD and V/S on. Then press the VNAV and LNAV buttons.

I have found that if I push the throttles forward at the beginning of the takeoff roll, then press the EPR button when it reaches 80% N1, that it takes a while (sometimes a long while) for the A/T to take hold. So I have to manually control the throttles until it does. I prefer the above method because the A/T is working right from the time I press the EPR button.

Autopilot Issues

I've seen that I'm not the only one, but my autopilot functions don't all work correctly.  Sometimes I can't adjust the speed hold, altitude, heading, etc.  The Nav functions never work. 

That being said, do I need to manually program the CDU to have any AP functionality, or can I just use the AP like in regular FSX airliners?  I know I can program the CDU to alter flight plans, but for the time being, I'm just getting used to the 767 and want to fly it like the vanilla FSX airliners.

I am brand new to CS models, but am quite impressed by the detail of this 767. 

Thank you.

Two things you need to be aware of.

1. The 767 Captain is a complex aircraft which requires you to set up the FMC for the flight. Although you can just jump into it, start the engines and fly using Heading/Nav (VOR) flights with VS and Altitude Hold functions, it is better to use the FMC with VNAV and LNAV. Because of the similarity between the 757 and 767, I highly recommend that you do the 757-200 FMC Tutorial to familiarize yourself with how to use the FMC for flights.

2. Most times when I load the Captain Sim 767 into FSX, the IAS Mach Indicator displays 000 (should display 200) and the Altitude Indicator displays 00000 (should display 10000). When I se this, quite a few buttons/knobs do not work correctly. This is a small bug that I fix by reloading the 767. So if you see this problem, just reload the 767.

Thanks that clarifies things a bit more, but often the gauges and the autopilot panel will be completely blank.  Even when they aren't, the V/S never indicates climb/descend rate.
