@SteveKane said in Autopilot keeps disengaging NAV mode (VOR-to-VOR navigation):
Yep, that was my original post in the MSFS forums about this issue, and yes I've just lived with this for some months. I am also getting this behavior in the Commander.
I have a workaround I've set up in multiple planes with some Spad.Next trickery, where I can activate/deactivate monitoring for when Nav mode is lost. When that happens, it quickly turns it back on again. It works pretty well.
Ironically, it seemed that if I didn't have SPad.next running, this problem didn't happen in the first place. It makes me think that Spad simply listening or polling certain variables might be causing this, but it would take some deep debugging to troubleshoot this.
Feel free to add observations to that thread for visibility to Asobo. I'm doing a VOR tour of Alaska in the Commander (before it gets too cold/icy for this plane), so maybe I'll experiment a bit this weekend.
Hi SteveKane,
I contributed to your post in MSFS forums some time ago, sadly without much response.
Maybe some of those reporting here can contribute too over at MSFS.
I found the problem in many BKSQ aircraft, and some others, but curiously not in the Commander 114. At least not until now, after several flight hours in VOR NAV.
At least I can confirm that it has nothing to do with add-ons, since I don't use any - aside from aircraft and scenery.
And it does not depend on signal strength, since it happens in all distances.
