The autopilot pitch control does nothing at all.

I've now gone back to version 2.2. Although many people complained about the autopilot, I never had a problem with it.  In 2.3 the pitch control simply doesn't work for me and even swapping in the 2.2 autopilot gauge wouldn't fix it. I had to go back completely to 2.2.

It's unfortunate that I have to say the autopilot is much worse than it was before. Even the unmodified 2.2 Autopilot was better than this.

I was horrified when I was lining up with the ILS and switched over to AUTO G/S the plane just nosed up vertically like a rocket. I had to turn of the AP and take manual control. Cry

It looks like I might be better off going back to 2.2 and to using the mods that Matt so kindly provided.

Same here. Pitch control doesn't work "normally".

Yesterday night I tested and I was able to use the pitch control (really can't tell the conditions), then it stop working. In any case, this is not normal.

Hi,
Is there a way to make the 727 fly and follow a MS Flight plan ? I was looking for a gps guidance switch somewhere ala C-130 but didn't found any. Can you only navigate by VOR / ADF in this baby ?

Thx

Gents;

I've got my fingers crossed as I say this...but the new AP seems to work fine for me.   Two things I've learned while messing with it:

- If no response from the elevator master switch, turn "altitude hold" on and then off again.  This seemed to clear out some kind of glitch for me...after I do it the switch works normally.

- When intercepting a radial/localizer, make sure "heading hold" is off.  When intercepting a glideslope, make sure that "altitude hold" is off. It seems the new AP will not override these functions if they are enabled.

Condolences to all who are having more troubles with this update  Cry

Check my posts in this thread...listed two different ways to install a NAV/GPS button to the AP and/or GPS 2D windows:

So, about the lack of cockpit sounds that people are talking in the new patch, can CS say something??

I got the new patch but i´m not sure if it´s ok to install it, as all the reply´s above are talking about some problems.

Hello and a Merry Christams and Happy New Year to everyone, Thanks captainsim for the new version 2.3
I inmediately got to downloading and installing fallowing the instructions on the download page.

It is a shame that there are still issues in an update.

My Seatbelt & No Smoking dings have gone silent. Even though I tried the fix:"SoundOffWhenSimIsSlew" from 1 to 0" In the sound ini file...Still silent.And altitude alerter.

Have just done a a small short flight can say it works to my satisfaction except it does bank too much when performing turns.

Can anyone please tell me how to correct this issues in simple terms?

Thanks in advance:

Berlopez

Thanks Matt, will give it a try.  I always do my flight plans VOR to VOR but I don't want to actually have to tune for each VOR and sit in front of my PC during the whole flight, I'm normally there only for SID and STAR and the remaining I watch the flight progress from time to time while watching the telly  Shocked

I hear you there! I have had good luck with letting the AP follow a GPS flight plan using my NAV/GPS button.  But I must admit I haven't tried it with version 2.3 yet.
