25 seems to be a good dead zone number for my stick. There's more than a few posts on the Steam forums about the same AP problem. I hope they read this one! Thanks cofcorpse for all your help!

Yeah, my Logitech extreme3D PRO has a nasty big time spring and everytime Steam does a little update I have to re-calibrate it. I will set dead zone on all axis to 25 and try that, thanks. EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED! It was the joystick dead zone. Now AP works perfectly. cofcorpse THANKS AGAIN for solving this problem! For your info I have F15c standalone from Steam. I also have over 200 hours in my A10c standalone with no problems with anything.

Thanks for your patience and help with my newbie questions!

Ok, I see TWO "UPLOAD" buttons on the right but no "paper clip". I clicked both "UPLOAD" buttons but can't see the file in the "Preview Post" screen. I'm getting the error "Your file of 6.76 MB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 5.00 MB for this filetype." It was such a short flight to begin with (about 5 minutes). Why is the file so large? Can I edit it to make it smaller? Or maybe turn it into a zip file? I will try to rename to a zip file. EDIT: I just added ".zip" to the filename so it would upload. NO AUTOPILOT.trk.zip

Thanks, Ironhand for the info -- I will try to save and upload track file.

I would love to do that (if I knew how to). I need detailed instructions on how to save a track file and upload it Thanks, BC EDIT: I found a built in campaign for the f15 so by flying a mission from that eliminates any probs. with the Mission Editor that may have occurred with my custom mission I created. Now the caution panel lights are working. I can see two red lights that say "Auto Plt" and "ALTITUDE" but still the AP doesn't work - all I end up doing is crashing into the ground when trying to use it.

Using Logitech extreme3d pro joystick and razer ultimate keyboard. No autopilot and no lights on the caution panel but all AP switches are working ok. Weird problem.

My problem is different -- I have no autopilot at all. I tried a built in campaign mission but no joy and no autopilot yet.

Thanks, I'll try that.

No Steve, no mods used or installed but I used ME to create this mission I am flying. I couldn't find any training missions for the f15c so I had to make my own. EDIT: I have had problems with ME and bogus payloads on the A10c and maybe this is something similar.

I'm not getting ANY "auto plt" light at all. When I make a big move on the stick the ATT HOLD switch turns to off but does not turn back on.

I'm just expecting the AP to take control of the plane and it doesn't happen. Is it normal for the ATT HOLD switch to be able to turn "on" while sitting on the runway? (mine does and it seems weird).

Left ALT + 1 is also mapped but seems to have no effect except to move the switch.

I try to engage when flying slow and level @ about 300 knots and 5000ft. Repeatedly pressing the "A" key moves the switch but nothing else happens. My Steam install is OK. The only switch that pops back into the off position is Alt hold when I cycle the "A" key. I'm not sure how to check the CAS...but the three higher CAS switches are always on.

Thanks GGTharos but no joy. The switches work but no lights for either attitude hold or altitude hold. And, of course, no autopilot either.... EDIT: I'm gonna check for a buggy Steam install
