not a bug Autopilot assist fail to engage

[Raidhen]

Hi,

 

I've followed the cold start video but I can't engage the autopilot assist and I've an alarm on the 2 gyros.

Can you help me ?

Is it because it is simplified flight model and that is not working yet.. I know this is very early so I am very understanding and patient.  Think this may be it since I was able to fly with good control even with out autopilot channels on.  I dont think that should be possible In real flight model.

Hi, i had same issue. You need to switch transformers mode 115V and 36V to "main" i think it is right click, they are located on the eletrical panel with generators. Step 32 in manual. And yes, this is not shown in the video from Wags afaik.

Thank you

when the autopilot fails to engage in the mi-8 it is always a power issue.

when you get "generators failed" you also need to turn it back on when the generators recover. (over pitching the rotors)

still downloading the mi-24.

but its great to see the 115v and 36v are the same

It works okay here. Please find an example start up track attached.

 

Since my video, we added the need to enable the AC transformers.

 

Kind regards,

Matt

You need to hold down the "Gyro cage 1" and Gyro Cage 2" buttons for 2 seconds then release, the error lights should go away

Thx for your answers everything is fine now.
