GTN750 / Century IV Bug
-
I've posted twice today about different things, so my apologies to you guys for that, haha.
I was setting up the Piston Duke just now on VATSIM for an IFR flight (EGGP --> EGKK) and had everything all set up correctly and as I normally would in the PMS50 (free) GTN750/GTN650 combo config.
This all worked fine, until I tried to engage NAV mode on the Century IV, and it just wouldn't. No response, no arming, nothing.
I've uploaded the video to Streamable here.
Any ideas? This happened a second time when I tried with the turbine duke and just the GTN650.

Have you switched on the pitch trim power? The autopilot will not engage until this is switched on.

@SomeoneCalledRay From the video, I see the autopilot master switch is off - the leftmost switch on the AP panel. You probably need to turn it on to function.
-
@Napalm520 Watch the video I sent. AP works fine, no mode change though, even the GA button on the throttles does nothing.
-
@SomeoneCalledRay not sure how it can work when it's clearly OFF :)
Probably that's the bug then, it being off and working.
-
that remind me a point adressed in the FAQ, are you interfering with a specific control panel ?
imo it really sound like a binding issue
-
@Nicotine70 I've sorted the issue now.
The fix? Absolutely nothing, it randomly decided to work for no apparent reason at all. It's definitely not a binding issue as I have nothing bound to any AP controls (control surfaces, trim and power management only).
