Hello all,

since today I have permanent problem to set AP options with Carenado Seneca, no problems last days also including yesterday, all was working ok. I tried also set same AP options in other GNS aircraft C172 and there is all working ok with AP options set - HDG, ALT. I don’t know, something changed today??? Is any competent from MS able describe what exactly has changed that this one doesn’t work today? I see this very strange, I can’t simply put simple HDG mode to functional as example, after click HDG option on AP the indication shows on AP display (HDG) but aircraft strangly shakes for very short period and nothing. ALT set at some altitude for hold? Not possible, nothing reacts to my clicks on AP but all indications shows.

No Beta.

:slight_smile:

After go to Main menu (after that success test) for a new start (Vatsim), all same. Really… What can I imagine now? Really good joke looks like, right?

Looks like AP holds ROLL mode after set AP on, without any other options but again nothing works (HDG, ALT, …).

Ok.

Finally I have success after 4 attempts with start on rwy. My observations:

  1. for first after click Fly, I was cca 100ft above ground - CRASH! Restart.
  2. I’ve filled FPL but strange thing was quickly visible - not red first leg! So ok, I’ve click Activate leg and all was ok with red leg indication. In flight? AP not working.
  3. I’ve not filled FPL on GNS530 and only start t/o. AP working ok as expected, without FPL.
  4. on rwy I’ve filled FPL and all indicated ok (red first leg) so did t/o and voalaaaa, all was ok, navigation via GPS option and next leg as was filled in FPL.

I don’t know, this sim has still serious problem but what is interesting, with no problems in previous days. I’ll do now again Vatsim flight cold and dark at APN and will see…

Hello,

today flight, no problems at all. What is more perfect to me and have discovered (maybe I have reported this already but don’t remember), during RNP approach HSI shows correctly Glide Path and follows it perfectly :slight_smile: what a perfect functionality with this approach type finally in this aircraft.
