It wont work.

I can't let my FSX on during 9 hours !!!! That's why I use the time acceleration to skip the most boring part of the flight.

The KB says only to stay at normal speed. It's not really solve the problem.

OR, you could simply fly shorter legs...

I thought that this issue was fixed since the 4.3 update to the 757, in which I believe the fixes have been inherited in the 767. Also, check your FSUIPC version to ensure that it is the latest as this may have persisted your problem.

Regards

if you are having troubles with the autopilot..just update your fsuipc or buy the payware version and you can see the diference in the autopilot...again ..ANY problem with the autopilot  can be fixed just updating your FSUIPC.....

I have the 9JULY2009 version of FSUIPC, registered version - so unless you tell me there's an even more current version this is it. I am 100% sure such sharp mistakes cannot be attributed to FSX or my machine - I have never seen anything like this and tested a bunch of stuff on my machine, always resetting the default FSX state before beginning to look at new stuff.

Patrick, you need to check your system. �The problems your having have nothing to do with Captain Sim's software.
Your 100% confidence is lacking.
My autopilot works perfect. �Actually better than the competitors version.  I flew the other last night and it didn't follow the flight path as accurately as Captain Sim's.  I had to correct it with "heading select".
I am flying from LEPA to LOWS right now and my speed and flight path are followed perfectly with CS. �I even performed a Direct To after takeoff, and the path was shown on the HSI and the 767 followed it flawlessly.
If you are really a reviewer, you shouldn't be jumping to conclusions until you check all the possibilities. �You have a responsibility to your readers to be correct in your findings and not just bashing developers.
My VNAV and LNAV along with localizer capture, approach and full autoland, all work flawlessly.

The "autopilot doesn't work" vs "the autopilot works" argument will never die.

The correct answer is: the autopilot works.  How do I know this?  Because it works for me.  Things that don't work because they are defective don't work period, for everyone.  I don't how many times I have seen this autopilot canard, and, while I feel for people who are frustrated, you have to look to your system, not something broken in the Captain Sim product.

I think everyone who has the autopilot not working issue should submit everything systems, everything they have running -- Active Sky, and everything -- and let's try to figure out the common denominator.  Autopilot is uncommonly accurate in Captain Sim products.

GUYS GUYS

i have a solution.

Basically on my testing, i found that if i windowed it, and then had applications running, and then went back to full screen,

it would suddenly happen on me!

So,, i open task manager, ctrl+alt+del, and see whats taking up the most resources.

to my surprise, even though i nuts it down, AVG anti virus was still somehow running.

i uninstalled it, and i also turn off windows vista sidebar before a captain sim flight...


its basically to do with resources,, shut down as many apps as u can, i did, and it works..

p.s btw i have an extremely powerful PC, so its not that it cant handle it, CS aircraft just cant handle it

Hope this helps!!

if soo, would love to hear about it

All the best

Oh man, remind me never to hire you as a software developer or beta tester �

The autopilot works perfectly for me... mostly!
Sometimes though, it gets a life of its own, including the behavior described in this thread. This has ruined many flights. The bird can go from rock solid to doing confusing infinte circles and other strange things in no time.

The good thing is, I just discovered what was causing this for me.
My yoke and pedals are not completely stable. Sometimes when returned to the neutral position they would not really be neutral (the Saitek users know what I mean �) so instead they would start fighting with the autopilot. After a while, bad things start to happen. I'm using the autopilot in many other airplanes on a regular basis and this issue never shows up in them so perhaps the CS767 is more sensitive than other airplanes.

In short, if you're sometimes having weird problems with the autopilot, it's definitely worth checking out your input controls. FSUIPC is really helpful for this. Simply calibrating might help. If the controls are crappy like mine though and don't return to the exact same neutral position every time, increasing the deadzone might be the only way.

Gentlemen,

I think we should follow Mr. C's suggestion and keep this a friendly thread but that IS my opinion only.

I am copying one of my threads  from the 'rolling/rocking' thread in this forum JUST to offer a solution that MAY work for some:

Hi all,

While I don't recomend changing the 767-200 files unless you know what you are doing, I thought I'd share what I did:

I used the ORIGINAL 767-200 cfg file with the 767 Freighter air file renamed as required and guess what.

Spoilers work as they should(armed/auto deployment) and the 200 is as rock steady as the Freighter. Tested on ILS to 08L at KATL.

So, my conclusion: there is something amiss in the 200 air file but the fix, for me, was easy.

All my testing was necessary at the time but I believe now not necessary if you have the Freighter and BACKUP the 200 air files before copying the F air file and renaming.

Thought this was an interesting find. I don't have the 300 but suspect it will work as well.

Jack S.

try installing another version of FSUIPC. (free version is good enough)
I always have similar problems with the included FSUIPC versions.

  Travis,


  Take a look at this from youtube.  He uses 737 fmc and it comes in 4 parts.  This guy is good and the basic to use the FMS are the same in CS


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfclBlXWB9E

Hey!  I tried the youtube video that you recommended, but I still can not get the autopilot to engage.  Also, upon takeoff my 767 tries to go into an almost vertical climb until it stalls. 

Anyone else running into this problem?

Hi..i can't use autopikot for 767...for example altitude holder & heading holder..can someone explain this to me?

Thanks

i can't run it....

autopikot...

oh man when i want to take off;what shall i do? when i engage a/t, it gone very slowly...& i can't set V/S..when i set v/s to +1500 nothing happened...

hi there,

i know all the stuff with irs, etc. etc.
it is not the first airplane i try to fly, so please dont send me any links to tutorial videos:) only for your information, never had any problems with the cs757 though.

but it seems as if the airplane has a problem with some systems, mostly win7.
i use win7 aswell, never had any problems with the 757.

i can run the autopilot ( lights are working) flight director is moving. but the aircraft simply doenst follow the flightdirector.

the only thing that works with the autopilot is vertical speed.

speed, heading is not working at all.
- not with the heading button(i know right click on heading sel )
- not with lnav
same with speed,
-not with ias
-not with vnav

what is worng with this airplane?

btw. fsupic 4,53 is installed.

its a shame, that we pay a lot of money and nothing happens.

if it is a problem with win7, there should be a fix. first of all because it says MINIMUM requirements winxp or vista.

and even more because it is already working with the 757...


PLEASE HELP ME!

It works perfectly on my Win7 Ultimate x64 machine.
Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the aircraft?

When installing with windows 7 you must first right click on the installation folder select properties then select the compatibility tab (2nd tab) and down the bottom you will find a box marked run as administrator. Tick that box then save and close, then run the installer.

Before you try reinstalling I would completely uninstall the 767 by removing all registry settings and I would even uninstall fsx.cfg and letting that rebuild itself.

If that doesn't fix it I would look into something else on your system as the aircraft does everything it should on my Win7 install.

I'm assuming you have purchased the aircraft and it's not a torrent.

Having completely reinstalled FSX, cleared all FSUIPC files (the newest vers. 4.6) from my machine, reinstalled FSX and CS767 and FSUIPC 4.3 - everything works!

Seems FSUIPC is the problem for me - vers. 4.3 works. Tried reinstalling FSUIPC 4.6, and got the same autopilot not following flight director problem. Removed all FSUIPC and installed FSUIPC4.3 - and all works well.

In the Captain Sim 757 and 767 the IAS/MACH Indicator it is normal for it to remain visible.

You can't use SPD while using VNAV. VNAV controls the vertical and climb speeds. If you press the SPD button, the VNAV button will be turned OFF on the A/P, and the plane should climb at the speed you select AND the VSI that it was using when the SPD button was pressed, if it can.

Press the button marked SPD to the left of the "knob" (on the A/P Panel and not the "knob" itself. I use the Right Mouse Button and Left Mouse Button on the "knob" to change the IAS/MACH numbers. You can change the climb speed by entering a value in the CDU VNAV climb page Left LSK2 (in both the cs757_manual5 and cs767_manual5, page 51). I use VNAV 99% of the time for climbing.

Hope this helps.

Mark

Do you have a disconnect in the CDU?  I have noticed that the airplane will circle around the last valid point in the CDU until a new waypoint is entered and execuited.   Just a thought.

I'd like to see this one fixed.

I'm proud to say I have NO Problems with the autopilot in the 767. I have the 757 from CS, but its for FS9. I got the 757 from Just Flight, and have some rocking problems, but that is because I haven't updated it to 4.4. Not sure how to fix your problem though. Sorry

Are you using the same file (csx767_1400.exe I assume), from the first computer, to install it on the second computer?

That would also mean that you purchased the download version. So if you are, Check-In to your Profile, get a new link by using the Extended Download Service and downloaded the file again. Uninstalled the 767 and then reinstalled it with the NEW file. Hopefully it will work properly.

It appears that sometimes a download seems to be downloaded completely, but it isn't. That's really the only thing I can think of that could be causing this. Especially if it is happening on another computer.

Hope this helps.

Mark

Yes I did as suggested.  Uninstalled 767, got a new d/l from Captain Sim and problem still exist.

No other Captain Sim aircraft gives me any grief. Not the 757, nor 727, nor 707, nor C130, nor B52.  I have lots of sim experience (since FS 2002) and a lot of Captain aircraft (both 2004 and FSX). That's why this frustrates me so much. 

Two separate computers, same problem.

Hi ALatz

Some have posted replies to this problem saying that downloading and installing the latest FSUIPC (v4.60) from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html fixes this problem. Others, saying that earlier versions than the one that ships with the 757 can also fix this. Unfortunately I can't verify any of this because I've never had this problem. Mine works fine on all the versions of FSUIPC that I have from about v4.20 onwards.

Mark

to Markoz
you just install FSUIPC in FS only have to adjust anything or not, because I have FSUIPC installed 4.3 and it works with the CS757, CS767 has also failed to have lights and LNAV CMD, but the aircraft did not fly under the FMC roadmap 

I knew about FSUIPC removal, but I was just giving an example on what could be used to fix the problem. (maybe) 

Can I ask how can I hold a specific heading on my CD 767? The Heading Hold doesn't deem to affect my heading.

Thank you aaboeing.
I'm sure this will work as I've never tried right-clicking on the knob

Hi i'm able to configurate the IRS and the FMC with all the required data to start flying ;the plane climb in FD mode but when I try to switch to autopilot the plane looses speed and stalls Can anybody tell me about the right sequence of switching from fd T/O mode to A/P mode ?    Thanks   leovi1pilot

Have a slight issue with VNAV in that once airborne and LNAV, VNAV and CMD are selected the aircraft only climbs at around 100 to 200 fpm!!! This takes about 300nm for it to reach it's programmed altitude. The only way I see to get it there quicker is to select flight change and adjust rate of climb manually. In doing this the aircraft then slows down to a stall and no matter what one does to rectify this, kiss bye bye to your flight.

Anyone have a solution to this other than "read the manual" as I have done

Enter the initial altitude of say 2000ft including speed. on reaching that I then enter the next flight level, say 7000ft including speed (which for Southampton is TA) after that I then enter say 34000ft but leave the speed at 240 as it's below 10000ft. On reaching/passing 10000ft I then increase speed bug to 306 which was calculated by the CDU earlier.

Even with doing this it should still climb at it's optimal 1800ft and maintain it's speed set on the FMC,

The flight plan is loaded via the CDU then I find out active runways and enter the relevant SID's and Star's and as it should be, the CDU should control all aspects of the flight. Nope, the rate of climb is so low if it got any lower it would be in reverse!!

I usually use the Project Magenta's Boeing Suite of software and on default aircraft (737/747) I have no issues although their CDU has a lot more options (as per the original CDU, have the manual) which are not available with this one.

My issue is still the same, I have to disconnect VNAV and manually gain altitude and if I don't keep an eye on things it will go into a stall! This should not be happening and I'm at a loss as to how to remedy it and I cannot hook PM's software into the aircraft.

Hi,

I have an issue where my autopilot does not control heading or speed.  It will control Vertical Speed and Altitude but will not change heading when heading is selected/held or LNAV activated, or change engine speed when speed, autothrottle and/or VNAV are selected.

I have programmed the FMC for a flight, aligned the IRS correctly and gone through the manual several times to ensure correct setup.  When FMC programmed, VNAV functions for altitude but not speed and LNAV does not work at all (even when selected).

The only way I can control my heading is manually (not good for long flights) and speed is manual the entire time.  I have searched the forums and the KB and it just says the same stuff I have already been doing.  I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the aircraft with no effect.  Any help greatly appreciated.

I own and use the latest version of FSUIPC (4.60a) and the Autopilot works perfectly fine.

Mine will climb to the 767's Optimum Altitude at a rate of 1000fpm or more. Are you programming the FMC correctly? Getting the COMPLETE message in the FMC once you have entered all the necessary data?
I know that the LD767 and CS767 FMC are virtually identical, so if you can use one, you can use the other.

Mark

That is all very well, but my 767 A/P doesn't work even after re-installing, re-downloading and doing all other tweaks and things in this thread. It simply does not work.
My specs are above the minimum requirements that CS has on their product page.
I have version 1.5.

Nothing works! I can turn on the Flight Director and the Auto Throttle, I can set speed and it will even hold it (the only things that works!).

I have tried it on several routes, long-haul (TXL-JFK), Short haul (LHR-HAM), medium-haul (MAN-FNC). I have paid a lot attention while programming the FMC.

I am NOT able to click on ANY button on the MCP except for the EPR, SPD and SEL button.
My vertical speed gauge on the MCP does not work too.

Luckily did I only pay 9,99 for it but it is still sad to know that it is a waste of money, because there seems not to be any solution for this problem.

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

Merry Christmas!

We may need more details and maybe a screenshot of the situation. 

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.

Thanks once again Mark your advice is always on point! When I get home I will sure try that method!

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.
