A/T and Autopilot not engaging
-
Hey team,
I too get this problem.
If you wait ages (>10 minutes) you get a FMGS* PASS flash up on the PFD and all the AP/TPR/YD systems start to work again.
Not sure if this is linked to panel state changing or if its linked to the 'state saving' option in the settings. As it is random, but happens with each plane.
Im unable to load a 'cold and dark' as there are too many background software errors (e.g when you turn on power the windscreen wipers are on max by default, Ive never sued the wipers for any reason).
*I think it was FMGS PASS as it flashes up momentary and didnt pick all the letters. It was 'something PASS' related to all the systems.

Hi, also had the problem that I couldn't activate A/T and autopilot in MSfS 2024. It really bugged me, because I thought I missed something during start up. But restarting the flight or setting the aircraft state, didn't changed the fact.
I used a third party livery (Avro 85) for the first time in the sim. Third party livery are generally problematic in the new sim, as they appear as separate aircrafts (for me). Further, the fire handle of engine one was pulled, without me pulling it. Very strange. I will try tomorrow in the old sim.
Cheers

Hi All….the inoperative A/T issue of discussion has recently set in on my RJ flights too. Reading the above posts, I have tried five times reloading the RJ and the A/T still cannot be activated for flight. It seems something in MSFS2024 or the Just Flight RJ software is causing this issue? Does this problem have the attention of Just Flight?

Yes, keep getting that inop A/T too. Need to restart the flight 2-3 times until the A/T switch starts ON and with the green light. Note that I am spawnig on the runway so with engines running. IF they start being running, sometimes even the engines start off when spawning on the runway. Still weird and not ok IMHO

well, indeed. I let it sit today reeeeally long and voilá, A/T showing green lights and good to go. will double check soon. no idea though what's going on in the backgroud when one flight A/T starts readily engaged and one time not. with very same Rj85 Lufthansa livery (official) and at the very same airport.
BTW, clicking the fly now button as soon as it turns yellow/can be clicked did NOT do the trick, still A/T lights was grey and could not be enabled -
Ihave just experienced this issue - AP wouldnt engage and AT knob kept flicking off! (on xbox booo i know and still on 2020)

The behaviour raised previously in this thread was MSFS 2024 specific and related to some specific WASM initialisation logic that isn't required in MSFS 2020 (that logic was also fixed in the v0.1.4 update, which added native MSFS 2024 support).
It's tricky to diagnose behaviours such as the one you are describing without knowing more information about the aircraft's state and the steps taken leading up to that behaviour occurring.
What I would recommend is firstly double-checking that the aircraft is set up correctly with the appropriate electrical power for that stage of flight (there is a tutorial flight from page 206 of the RJ Professional Operation Manual that should walk through the process of configuring the aircraft for flight: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003765/RJ_Professional_MSFS_Operations_Manual_MSFS2024.pdf).
If the A/T behaviour persists when following the steps in the tutorial flight, could I kindly ask you to raise a ticket with Just Flight Support at the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support
In the ticket, if you could include steps for how our support team can reproduce that behaviour, and ideally screenshots/videos showing the behaviour, then our support team will be in the best position to be able to offer assistance.
