As per title.

I cannot hide the yoke. I assume this is meant to be possible?

I cannot active AP, pressing the button will not engage it. This is in all modes, NAV, HDG, FLC etc. Its as if im not pressing the AP button, theres no light.

Can anybody confirm these 2 things are working for them?

Thanks

EDIT: Im an idiot.

Working for me, make sure you remove the mod if you have it.

@Kloot8200 Thanks for that. I have no mods installed. At least I now know its working for others. Iā€™ll keep investigating, and maybe delete and download the plane again. (i think you can do that anyway)

Thx

Clicking on yoke where yoke enters the dash works fine for me to hide / unhide.
Iā€™m flying in Japan S islands heading N with AP active as Iā€™m writing this note and generally OK. Switch off AP just before landing and on again after takeoff. Had problems with the King Air AP and also A320, both better in previous version.
Started on runway. The only problem Iā€™ve had is with selecting ā€˜increase selected altitudeā€™ but this comes good after clicking off other AP buttons and back on.
There are issues picking up characteristics of other aircraft when changing to another. Resolved by exiting App and restarting App.
Hope this helps.

Thanksā€¦ It must be something at my end or the forums would be going wild given how popular the TBM is.

For the AP: Did you switch it on via that overhead switch top right, where it says something with ā€œtrimā€ and ā€œAPā€?

You might be onto something thereā€¦ Pretty sure I did the first couple of times, but certainly not on the last few occasions (Completely forgot that bit).

I think it will be the overhead switch! :see_no_evil: Iā€™ll need to confirm later.

Ive logged into my gaming pc remotely, (its really sluggish) but I can now toggle the yoke. I havent changed anything. How strange!

Thanks for your help guys :slight_smile: Iā€™ll mark as solve as soon as i know for sure.

The yoke switch ā€œisā€ a little finicky to activate. If they expanded the region where the mouse can click then that would help.
