GurbY Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 I recently owned a X52 Pro. With that, I had a switch "engage AP" (push button on the throttle). If I selected the different modes on the LASTE panel (path, alt/hdg, alt) with the mouse, and pushed the button on the stick: it worked. I now own a TM Warthog. Great stick. However, if I select everything as should be (with the different switches the corresponding switches on the LASTE panel move as well, so no problem there), engaging AP in PATH mode somehow doesn't work. If I choose ALT/HDG and push the engage button: OK. If I choose ALT and push the button: OK. If I make a lets say 30degree bank, nose on horizon and press the button: nothing happens... What am I doing wrong here..? Plane is level (dive angle less than 5deg), bank angle set, and somehow I can't get in a nice circle to pick my targets...
