[RESOLVED] Autopilot not Disconnecting

[VampireNZ]

Having a few issues with the AP. I engage by flicking the ENGAGE switch fwd and get control wheel steering, auto trim and holding pitch, bank etc.

 

But if I then flick the ENGAGE switch off, the AP stays engaged - so same flight control support, can't manual trim etc. I have to pull the AP Emergency Disconnect lever to properly disengage the AP, which also trips off SAS etc.

 

Bug, something I am doing wrong? Seems incorrect to require use of the Emergency Disconnect to disable the AP every time? :huh:

When I engage AP i get the desired attitude hold.

If I use my mouse to click the AP off I get the desired effect.

If i use my joystick binding to disengage the AP (not emergency disconnect) It remains in attitude hold, noticed by the the jumpiness of the roll handling.

If I use emergency AP disconnect binding I get the desired effect of that function.

When you're in autopilot press "Autopilot toggle" and it will turn off all AP modes

Indeed it may well do - just advising that if you actually disengage the AP using the AP ENGAGE switch (which I have bound to a switch in my pit)...it doesn't actually disengage the AP all the time.

i noticed too

sometimes it works to disengage, sometimes not, and don't know why it doesn't work at this moment. Later, it works again to disengage, don't know again why
