Thanks Chris...I do all of that; but maybe I'm not setting the AP to auto correctly.....how do I do that?  With or without the Saitek multipanel?

 

Cheers

Nope...that's not it either, but thanks for the suggestion.

Hello and thanks for your reply. 

 

No luck I'm afraid.

 

I've done all as you've suggested and I can confirm that both the aircraft and saitek panel AP are working correctly. 

 

I have also tried on the default Baron 58 with the same results.

 

In the X-plane manual page 80 paragraph 6 it says that the plane should level off when it reaches its desired height...so maybe I'm doing something wrong or as you say I'm misunderstanding the AP in general....I just don't know. Perhaps a step by step dot point text explanation on how to engage the ap and achieve the desired result would help but I thing the manual covers this as I've describe above.....the issue is still why won't the plane level off?

 

I know this isn't FSX but in FSX I simply preset my desired altitude set my vs and pressed the ap and alt buttons and presto away we go....

 

Appreciate your help

 

Cheers

Hello all,

 

I need your help...with autopilot.  Among other Saitek hardware I'm using the Saitek Multipanel for my auto pilot functions.  The XP10 user manual says that when you change your altitude sttings and engage the vs function the aircraft 's auto pilot will take you to the altitude and then the vs disengages and you the fly at the desired altitude as selected. Well it's not happening for me

 

Trouble I'm having is that for whatever reason the vs won't disengage and the aircraft flys above or below the altiude I've set and just keeps climbing or descending....so what am I doing wrong? 

 

I'm using XP10 64 bit and I've got William R Good's Xsaitekpanels software installed and operating.

 

I'm new to XP and have been using FSX for ages but getting the knack of the autopilot in XP escapes me.

 

Any suggestions will be most gratefully appreciated.

 

Cheers
