Autopilot

[flanker35]

Hello,

if I engaged the autopilot the plane flies loops turned to the right or left and crashed.

This behavior I had after the update to 1.2r3 before everything was fine.

If I want run an earlier version I get the message "aircraft not activated"

Maybe someone had a solution for me.

I am having similar issues. See my post 

[flanker35]

Sorry for my post don't see the post from gsuri 

Thank you, gsuri, exactly the same problem, I'm on OSX 12.1 too.

I don’t understand why we can’t use older versions? 
 

Never seen this before. 
 

i have all versions of the tbm and they work

Hello, 

Can you upload a screenshot of your PFD and MFD when this behaviour occurs? Thanks

[flanker35]

Hello,

the PFD and MFD show normal only the autopilot does not work.

Hi

Here are some some screen shots from my cockpit.

I have posted this issue in Technical Support too.

Suggest you backup and then delete your …/Output/CL650 directory from X-Plane then start a fresh airframe.

In neither of those screenshots is the AP showing engaged in the FMA

Hi,

I delete the airframe and start with fresh but no result, AP is engaged FLC, NAV, and ATS on, but AP still not working.

Same result with complete fresh installation of the plane.

Because it kept tripping

Can you capture a video of the behaviour while showing the flight control synoptic page, please.

Also, what kind of hardware do you have connected?

[flanker35]

A macbook pro M1  max, 16", 64 GB and Saitek x52 Pro.

Before the update everything runs without any problem.

Update

If I fly the plane under High Sierra everything runs like it should.

On another M1?

[flanker35]

No, on my MacPro early 2008, but with very low fps (15-17).

Sorry, of course, High Sierra is a long time before M1 existed. I can’t keep track of all the California names!

What exact version of macOS were you running when you first had the issue? Have you done any upgrades since?

1.2r3

Definitely r3? Did you ever install r2?

Here's what we found. @flanker35 @gsuri

We have discovered that the latest update to Apple's OS Monterey 12.2, combined with further optimizations to the 650 code, under the M1 Processor, has done something to how the CPU works with the 650. It just so happened that Monterey 12.2 dropped around the same time our updates did.  I wasn't seeing it on my developer build, because I have older code on that version.  However, I did load a current beta version, and I was seeing some very strange things happening.  Everything seemed to slow down and took its time aligning.  As well as getting a sound loop on the various cockpit sounds.  This all eventually righted itself after a few minutes, and Saso determined the problem was the Mac's translation through Rosetta that was doing all kinds of strange things.  After some digging, Saso eventually fixed a few things, and sent me a new build.  After loading, all issues were resolved.  

So, expect an update in the coming days that resolves this issue.

Many apologies for this minor hiccup.

Thanks! Outstanding support! You are the BEST developers in this community!

Just for info, I am still on Monterey 12.0

It appears it's on all ARM CPU's.  We're just glad it's fixed on our end, instead of potentially waiting for XP12 or for Apple to fix something.
