Does anyone else have an issue with the AP disconnecting regularly?

Your mod is fantastic, and very welcome. Thank you for your efforts.

You’re not alone, had that too on my last flight on Sunday. Not sure what caused it though.
All modes remained on (YD, LNV1 etc) but the main A/P just disconnected randomly.

Oct. 12 - Once I have Dep and Arr Airports set I can’t seem to add any legs; any one ran into this issue? I follow the instructions here : ([HOW-TO] Citation CJ4 - FMS Programming Guide) - with no success :frowning:

Once again many thanks for this new step in the right direction!
But I have two problems/questions about version 0.5.0:

  1. When I adjust the cabin lighting in the mod menu, the setting is not saved. So when I call up the menu again after quitting, the lighting is back to “off”.

  2. When I import my flight plan from Simbrief, I only get a “direct-to” flight plan, without waypoints (i.e. a straight line between my two destinations).

Am I doing something fundamentally wrong here? Or has anyone else noticed these things?

Side note: I have installed the current Nav data from Navigraph. Does this possibly prevent the simulator from importing the waypoints?

Thanks for your support!

@InacticeCorpse Thanks for the feedback

  1. Yeah that will be fixed in 0.5.1 we will release very soon
  2. There is a bug that parsing fails when you have departure procedure set. Remove that from the route and it should work.

The import will not set departures and arrivals as there are too many possible complications data wise. And the real world pilot route function would also not do it.

Many thanks for this quick answer! Makes sense and I will give it a try next time :wink:

95

I must be doing something wrong.

  1. Downloaded zip file, unpacked and copied to my community folder
  2. Launch MSFS, can see the this update listed plus the base aircraft in the Content Manager
  3. Fly starting while running at the end of runway
 PFD’s MFD’s and FMS screens all blank- avioinics switch on. Toggling switch, clicking buttons etc
 nothing enables the screens
  4. Fly starting cold & dark at parking start with ctl-e, engines start avionics switch toggles on etc
 PFD’s, MFD’s and FMS screens all blank.
  5. Remove folder from community, restart FS and repeat steps 3 and 4 and all the screens are enabled.

Its got to be something obvious that I’m missing that turns the displays on with the update
 but I’ll be darned if I can find it.

Thank you so much for your work and help!

96

by “update”, I mean the mod


97

Sounds to me like you are running an old version.
Go here Working Title CJ4 v0.5.1 RELEASED (with Simbrief FMS import)

98

Oh! I am such a goof! It was the wrong version! I had 0.2.0 downloaded by mistake. Thank you so much!

I installed v0.5.1 and tried it out for two flights. In one case, flying an instrument approach with ceiling below 1,000 ft, the autopilot was wandering above and below the ILS glideslope in approach mode. It seemed to be trying to follow the glideslope, but I wonder if either the Asobo modifications in the recent patch or the PID changes in the mod have tried to slow down the oscillations to such an extent that it wanders up and down a lot before correcting. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

100

i just did a flight at EHAM with the CJ4, 27knt wind with gusts to 39, and it followed the glideslope perfectly (untill windshear happened). so no, not here

101

There are no autopilot PID changes in the mod

Not sure if this belongs to here - as I expect this is a general problem, hoewever most obvious to me in CRJ4 with this great mod;
my problem: the FMS does not show any departure nor destination. It also does not show any legs, even the FP is loaded in the background.

  1. for me it’s not possible to enter the departure airport into the FMS
 it “accepts” it i.e. the ICAO letters disappear (no error msg) but the FMS itself does not show the “origin”
 same with destination.
  2. if I plan the route before start, the FMS is also empty
however it somehow seems to be loaded in the background as I can select FMS as source and the AP follows the legs with “NAV”
 but the MFD is empty (no route showing) as well as the FMS itself.

Any help would be appreciated.
Hint (I hope it’s not the case); I installed the sim on another drive than C:\ and on another drive than my usual steam software


104

Never heard of that yet. Are you on the latest 0.6.0 version?
This thread here is very old, of the first version.

105

Found bug on descent PFD freeze and drop speed to zero, then after 20-30 sec it back and show huge overspeed.
