Why after a while while flying the plane stops following the flight route, although the Auto pilot is on?
Lots of posts in here on that.
Here is a link to one of them, with some first steps to do to troubleshoot.

Please explain the below as I couldn’t find “Hard/True to Life” setting as well as AI Copilot off
- Set Assists settings to “Hard/True to Life”.
- Ensure that AI Copilot is off.
Sure,
In the sim, on the opening screen, from the top heading, select “Options”
In that screen you will see, in the middle, “Assistance”.
In there you will see, on the left, “Piloting”
In that section, ensure everything is “Off” This will make the upper heading read “Hard” which is also known in simming as “true to life”.
Having said that, you can leave the bottom setting, “Delegate ATC to AI” in the “on” position if you like. It is convenient and does not affect the issue. You will then get “Custom” as the top heading. That is OK.
Now, once you start up the sim, and are in a plane, call up the in-sim menu by clicking on the “wing” icon.
On the right hand side of the yoke icon is the AI Icon. In there, at the bottom, is “Control Aircraft” it must be off. (switch towards the left) That is the AI Co-pilot, which as yet isn’t fully developed.
PS: Above that, you will see “Manage Radio Comms”, this is another way to “Delegate ATC to AI” which we discussed above
Thank you Sevenflyer for your help. The only item I left in the ON position was the TAKE OFF AUTO RUDDER because in the OFF position it was difficult to turn the Airlines during taxing for take off.
If this did not solve your issues, here is one more to try:
In “Controls”, try adjusting the reactivity setting for the rudder.
I have heard of settings between 20 and 65%
Keep taxi assist off for now.
Here are some taxi “helps”. It takes practice, and lots, as they (especially the 74-787) are quite fussy, apparently even IRL.
Use very little power, just enough to move.
When going into a sharp turn, do not turn the nose wheel 90 degrees, use a larger turn radius.
Avoid adding power in a turn if at all possible.
Speeds approx 5-10 kts in corners, the slower the better, don’t overpower or you will plow through the corner, as the nose wheel won’t dig in.
This does actually happen IRL.
Well I did a flight (with the Rudder in the on position) with the 787 from Rome to Rodos, Greece and the plane stayed in the flight plan.
