The failure with AP does NOT occur in the Cessna 172 with Garmin GNS. All AP functions are available. Problem must be a DC3 - Garmin incompatibility created after SU 14.

Last week Dev update:

mentionned that the DC-3 Enhanced was updated, maybe it introduced an issue with the GNS.

yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

in the middle of the flight, the garmin autopilot is saying “NO GPS POSITION”, and I don’t know what to do, the autopilot may be still functional. I’m on xbox series x.(edit: THIS SOLVED IT BY ITSELF so I don’t really know)

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Turn the battery off and on again.
I noticed it too. How long were your flights when this happened?
Cheers

It’s not the aircraft, but the SU 14. You have to have a flight plan and fly long enough. You probably didn’t fly your Cessna long enough and/or your flight plan wasn’t long enough.

About 6h, thanks, I tested it lastly, and that worked, but 5h later, the black screen bug went on, but that’s another xbox bug, anyway, thanks for helping.

I can confirm this still happens randomly, try pressing the cdi button to toggle to VLOC Mode, press cdi button again to toggle back to gps mode, NAV mode should be able to activate again and AP should behave like normal.

At least that worked for me.

Flew from NVVV to NVSC (about 100min /250nm) everything went normal, when continuing from NVSC after I unloaded some cargo and a stay of approx 30min (batteries off) I went to AGGB via SCRUZ and the bug appeared right after start when I tried to activate the AP in NAV mode, could solve the issue like I described above. Hope that helps.
