Autopilot not engaging

Hi -

most likely due to your joystick sending input in the pitch or roll axis. Try to increase the "dead zone" for the joystick in the IXEG (left side pop-out) preferences menu.

Just like in the real aircraft, the autopilot will disconnect (or not even engage) if the pilot moves the yoke. Sometimes older joysticks are also sending "spikes", erroneous signals, once in a while that can cause this. Increasing the null zone in the IXEG menu can make the autopilot more tolerant for this.

Cheers, Jan
