Quick question

[sunlord_clave]

In missions, my plane doesn't turn when I have the autopilot switch one? I don't have the heading switch on, just the autopilot, but still the plane doesn't turn. Only when I switch off AP, it turns.

[EGNX]

What plane are we talking about here? Or is it all of them?  :-?

[sunlord_clave]

All the planes. I mean it turns when I switch on the heading and give it a heading but I can't manually turn the plane when the AP switch is on.

'Normal' setup for the auto pilot in default and many add-on ac is: When you first turn on the auto pilot, 'pitch hold' and 'wing leveler' are activated. Wing leveler prevents you from banking.

If you turn 'Hdg' on and then off you should regain bank control, while still having the AP on.

You can change the AP behavior for an aircraft by editing it's 'aircraft.cfg' file. Look for the [autopilot] section. Edit or add the following lines if their not there.

[autopilot]
use_no_default_bank=0

[sunlord_clave]

Nope. Done that ^ and still having the same problem...

i might can solve this, another easy question i assumed, in mission, as i remember they planned the waypoint to where the destination they wanna go, dont forget this, once you activate the autopilot, find a button call "APR" somewhere on autopilot panel. AND there's button NAV and GPS on the buttom of the NAV words in the same button. if you select GPS (the light on the GPS word button will dissappear but NAV will light up), then your autopilot will follow the PATH of the Waypoint route. you can see this by presssing hold SHIFT + 4. there's red line shown in your GPS. if you stay with NAV, it will keep going straight till you adjust your HEADING (HDG) switch guide by COMPASS heading number.

is this help?

No

Doesn't seem to help.

I may be mistaken, but are you sure about the switches that you use for the autopilot ?
If your plane doesn't want to turn, most likely this is because you have activated the "ATTITUDE" autopilot, or something like that.
That's bad, I can't test right now and give you a precise answer, but I remember that I had trouble with the autopilot too, in FS9, trying to figure out which mode did what.

[sunlord_clave]

I haven't activated any button on the Autopilot except the main command switch. The funny thing is the AP works perfectly fine when I'm doing a free flight, but when I'm doing missions this problem happens.

Hey, this happens to me anytime and anyplace in any aircraft. You set your alt and turn master ap and alt hold buttons on but you cant turn the plane. Mine works by just clicking heading hold on and then clicking it off, then i can turn freely. You sure it doesnt work?

Just don't turn on the master switch if your not using the AP.  Problem solved
