    Hi, I am not sure if it is a known bug or a bug just happening to me or I am using the autopilot incorrectly.

    You can see it in this video https://youtu.be/FKbbAX2r6O8. Flying happens extacly the same.

    Anyone can help me? This is MSFS2024 version.

    EDIT: in the turbo arrow happens too, and I removed everything from community but the arrow

      In the lower centre of the instrument panel (to the left of the transponder), there is a NAV/GPS switch. Could I kindly ask you to try moving that to the "NAV" position and see if that allows you to engage the autopilot NAV mode?

      I suspect that with the switch set to "GPS" and no GPS being fitted, this is what is preventing the autopilot NAV mode from engaging.

        Hello, thanks for your answer.

        I did what you say but unfortunately I am facing the same issue, you can watch it on this video https://youtu.be/WwB3iTWT0jE.

        It is pretty weird because I tried on MSFS2020 and happens the same thing. I though could be some kind of confict with another mod but I remembered that when i recorded the first video I removed all mods from community but the arrow.

          I try to see which events are being sent and noted that the AP_HDG_HOLD_ON is being sent always. Please look at this video https://youtu.be/V5BdIKsfHyQ using the Spad.Next event monitor.
