ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue So yesterday. A bug just showed up where I turned on, autopilot, the master switch, and it won’t stay on in any of the aircraft. No update that I can see that could change this. The only change of about my setup is I add another stream deck. To my setup. That’s the only thing that has changed OS. Doing the update on the Server side. Which we can’t track, of course. I would like to use my new setup but I can’t. I haven’t tried today yet but I will give you updates when I do. Basically, I turn it on. And after two seconds, it disengages. For no reason. I haven’t touched any inputs that would do such a thing really weird. Here’s a link to the video I made.

• No

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Cessna 404 Titan 1hour 20 minutes using AP including three ILS Approaches. No issues.

Suggest OP rechecks for control binding issue.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Two things to try:

  1. Check your keybind to Toggle Autopilot Master is not set to Input Repetition. It’s a bad UI design.

  1. Check for duplicate keybinds to the AP. One quick way to check is to get into flight and disconnect all your custom controllers except KB/M. Use only virtual cockpit controls to turn on AP. If it doesn’t happent then, chances are you have dupe binding somewhere. Now comes the Truffle Hunt.

Moved to User Support Hub since does not seem to be a bug but more likely a local issue.

I would say your answer lies there. Nobody else is having any AP issues as you describe. Also they do not push changes without posting in announcements contrary to what you may believe.

I thought that to but I unplug it with the same result

Unplug any controllers you may have and try flying a plane and utilizing a mouse to interact with the AP. If that works, then you have some type of binding issue.

I figured it out it was a setting that got changed on my steering wheel I fly with a wheel and the pedals where separated instead reporting as one axis so it was pushing the airplane down and that is what was causing the problem sorry everyone and yes I know that it is a weird setup but I am disabled and fly with my feet
