Auto Pilot Problem

[kahuna_socom]

ok, i recently downloaded a Project Open Sky CRJ-600-200 and the auto pilot doesnt activate when i press the AP switch or the "Z" button . is there anything i can do to fix this problem? thanks

Sometimes hitting the dash can help fix problems. It sometimes works in my car

Never downloaded it so i'm not sure

ok, maybe someone who has downloaded before or has encountered this problem can help? im being serious.

Without downloading the aircraft, I can't look at it, but to help eliminate the most obvious, open up the aircraft.cfg file.

look for the '[autopilot]' section. Is it there, and enabled?


Spend enough time here, and you will see we like to have a good time. Life is stressfull enough, so we try not to be too serious around here too much

Some FS9 aircraft have an A/P Master switch although I don't see it in your  panel.cfg file.

[kahuna_socom]

so then what would i do? because the A/P master Switch is in the cockpit.

[kahuna_socom]

anyone?

[kahuna_socom]

never mind everyone, i fixed the problem;D! i erased the entire [Auto pilot] section from Aircraft.cfg of the CRJ-600-200 and replaced it with a copy of the [Auto pilot] section of a plane i know that works! and the A/P activated.

Glad you got it sorted out. Now loosen up and have a good time around here
