Hi Jan, Thanks for the response, my routing for that flight is as follows, I've been able to reproduce this one fairly regularly. CYVR YVR J514 CILLI Q983 IGVEP CYYC Departue 08L using RICH5 Arrival ILS17R using IGVEP3 If there's any other information I can provide to help with this let me know. Also thanks for the stellar support, you guys rock =)

Ok try now. Geez if I fly a plane as well as I operate Youtube it's no wonder I'm having problems!!

I am having the same problem, I'm not sure if I'm just misunderstanding how the FMC/VNAV is supposed to work or if it's a bug, when I try to go from VECTORS to the next point in my STAR the aircraft tries to accelerate to 280Kts even though the FMC has 171Kts in as the speed restriction. I have made a video to illustrate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGNvJsSPS8Y&feature=youtu.be

Ok, thanks, I obviously misunderstood how the AT works, I'm still trying to reproduce the bug I actually originally posted about. If I can reproduce it I will post a video in here. Thankyou.

Yes I understand this, and I do now have a button on my joystick mapped to AP disengage, but for the purposes of reproducing the bug I have been using the disconnect on the MCP to try capture the issue I was having on video. Also the AT issue I am having is the opposite of what you describe and I'll link a video to it. Basically the AT is not working, but it's switched on on the MCP and AP and VNAV are engaged, the AT had been working normally up to this point.

I have tried to recreate this problem several times now to no avail (probably because the camera is running!) Whilst I do understand now that the proper way to disengage autopilot is using the button on the yoke, as Jan mentioned above that still should not stop the auto trim from disengaging. I've also run into another problem where the AT stops functioning during flight (in this case also on approach) the AT switch and light were on, and I had LNAV and VNAV engaged but I was able to move the throttle up and down (the indicator for hardware throttle and actual throttle position did not appear), I run very minimal plugins with X-Plane and I'm starting to think that I may have an issue with my IXEG install. Incidentally, I was able to fix the AT problem by disengaging everything on the MCP and re-engaging, once I did this AT operated as expected. I'm going to re download the aircraft and see if any of these problems continue to occur.

I normally disconnect using the disengage switch on the MCP, I will try to recreate the problem and get some video footage tomorrow as it's quite late here now.

So I've had a problem occur three or four times now, I'm approaching the runway and I disconnect autopilot to fly a manual approach, but whenever I try to trim the pitch down the pitch automatically pitches back up straight away, if I try to pitch down using the yoke it will also adjust the trim. It basically won't let my descend, I have even gone as far as to turn off FD and AT so there should be no automated systems running but it tries to keep me level. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here?

So I bought the 737 this morning, and I've been playing around with it quite a bit, I love the cockpit and the aircraft is an absolute joy to fly. I nailed my first landing in this bird and the sense of pride and accomplishment I felt with that cannot be described. We all know this project has been a long time coming and that you guys have put blood, sweat and tears into making this plane. I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you, the plane is amazing. I've been waiting for a long time for a decent 737 in X-Plane so that I could ditch FSX, after flying this aircraft I'll never look back. I hope all you guys have a well deserved break and a couple of cold beers you deserve it!
