PID Reset?

[mraviator]

My ATS has not been working for some time, and I just now notices under the Study panel that all ATS related items simply show PID reset. Meaning?

Simply means your ATS isn't on. What are you doing to turn on the ATS?

ATS used to work, for some reason no more. 

I reset it to remove the Fail message, then before takeoff press the TOGA buttons for flight director pitch command and then the ATS button. But the green lights don't come on and ATS stays disengaged. That procedure used to work, maybe there has been a change I'm not aware of.

Turn off the flight directors, then press the TOGA button.

Interesting...it sounds like I messed myself up here at some point. Thanks, I will give that a shot on my next flight!
