[dresoccer4]

I'm pushing the autopilot button but nothing happens and the light doesn't come on. i've tries using the disconnect trigger well. in fact I've pressed all of the AP buttons, however nothing happens nad no lights come on.

is there something else you need to do before you can active AP?

The Autopilot is engaged by pressing the AP pushbutton, while holding 
the AP Disconnect trigger depressed on the Flight Stick (to avoid any 
unwanted action of any AP previous mode).

As soon as the red “P” pushbutton light illuminates, you may release the 
AP disconnect trigger and then the AP will engage in Basic Mode and 
the green “A” light will illuminate to confirm AP engagement.

I need to retest but had a flight the other night in the CE and AP wouldn’t activate (was trimmed out level) - then replayed the same mission and AP activated.

need to work through some test scenarios and validate if there is a bug

Mind you that autopilot has certain regimes where it will not engage, I often encounter this when flying low and fast
By OP's screenshot, it doesnt seem to be the case, as the speed and altitude are well within the envelope, but the autopilot refusing to engage was something i encountered before, and usually chucked it up to the aircraft being out of the AP envelope

Here's a screenshot from chucks guide on the topic
