AP Will Not Engage
-
I've had this happen on all three versions now. The AP will not engage for any amount of time. I don't have failures enabled. FD is on. It just won't engage when I try to. Now, I haven't done the full checklist. But I did the runups. Here's a screen...doesn't tell you much, but here's the state of my panel.

From the manual:
Why can’t I enable the autopilot?
This aircraft has a toggle switch that controls power to the autopilot servo motors. Make sure
the toggle switch to the right of the cockpit lighting dimmers, labeled “PITCH TRIM” is in the on
position. -
@Black-Square That must be it! I knew I must have missed something obvious during start up because I had the same problem on all three versions.

I noticed an issue yesterday where my bound button would not engage the AP after takeoff. I used the mouse to click the button on the pedestal and it engaged and from that point on it would toggle with each press of the bound hardware. Will re-test later and see if it was a one-off. I did have the pitch trim on - I have than bound to a physical switch right in my line of sight so I don't forget :-)
