Autopilot problem

Postby alb469 » Sat Jun 11, 2005 9:59 am

Have just installed a very good  panel but the problem is you can only set the altitude in 1000ft increments, the bearing in 10 deg increments, all the settings for everything else have the same problem. Is there anyway to alter the A/P so it changes in its normal increments? Any help is appreciated. Thanks ??? :P

Tried the suggestions and spent a lot of time on it but no luck. So, being unable to solve it we dumped the panel and installed  a new one. All is now ok.  Strange problem I would have liked to solve. On recollection this is the second panel that this problem has appeared and we just changed the panel without trying to solve it.There must be a rogue gauge somewhere. ??? :'(

There are some panels/VCs that have both 1000 and 100 ft increments. Sometimes they are set to both left click (1000 ft) and right click (100ft) on the mouse. Not always but some
