amberdog1 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I am going back to FSX until they fix this. I can't fly any plane with AP anymore. It seems to me the issue is with VNAV but when I try the 172 w/o glass panel some times it'll let me clime and use nav to go from place to place3 in VOR or direct VFR flight mode. Most of the time it won't climb or catch the nav and I wind up in a C & B issue. I love the TBM 930 but it is worse after the AAU2 update. I'll go back to FSX where I can fly any plane w/o issue. The views aren't great but flying is flying... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budreiser Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 This may or may not help. In fact, so much time has passed that I'm not certain what my problem was (or if this fixed it), but it may be worth a try. I do recall having AP probs and may have even gleaned this info from someone else on this or some other forum. If my memory serves me right, I might have used it once with no need to use it since. You might want something simpler than a two key command such as mine. Like I said, it might help but don't get your hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberdog1 Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 I have the flight yoke systen with the throttle quardrent and rudder peddles and the AP controls. I have tried using the AP control, the mouse inside of the plane and the keyboard to no aval... its very frusterating as it worked before the AAU2 update... I'm at a loss right now. thanks for trying and if anyone has anything I can try please reach out to me. AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budreiser Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Wish it would have worked for you. Only thing else I can offer at the moment is emptying COMMUNITY FOLDER, but I'm sure you're a sharp enough cookie to have already tried that avenue.

amberdog1 Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 I emptied that before I downloaded that update and it is still empty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSFS updates are infamous for changing preferences and settings at random and without warning. Have you checked all your control assignments since the update?

tiger1962 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I have the identical Logitech Flight Yoke System without the separate AP unit, and I'm having no issues (luckily!). I suspect it's your AP unit that's causing these problems for some reason - have you tried a flight with the AP unit unplugged? It would also be wise to check if there's a recent software/firmware update for the AP unit. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

amberdog1 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Thanks for your helpTim, I have unpluged and removed ther Logi plugin for MSFS and FSX both just to make sure there is no conflict, taken a flight in the 172 w/o glass panel. The plane would climb but not nav. I did a VOR from KCPK to KCRG and had to use headding instead of nav. The V/S went fine. I tried with the flight yoke systen and got the same thing. I tried using the TBM 930 and only hdg worked... This is a bit discouraging but for the $120 I paid I'm not going to give up just yet...

tiger1962 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 This sounds like you have a corrupted autopilot file in the base sim. The cure for this without a full re-install is to delete the base sim folder in question and then re-launch the sim, which will cause that folder to be re-installed automatically. The folder is named "fs-base-aircraft-common" and it's in your Packages\Official\OneStore folder. If you don't want to delete the folder, just move it to your desktop for now and then re-launch the sim. A sim update will download (it's your new "fs-base-aircraft-common" folder) and then you should be good to go. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

amberdog1 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Just after the AAU2 update I had to instal MSFS from scratch, almost 8 hours with steam. This was at the advice of Zendesk as it wasn't opening up just freezing on the mainn startup window. I Did and found out I couldn't fly with the AP and now you know the rest...

tiger1962 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Do you have any of the Working Title mods in your Community folder? After the AAU2 update these should all be removed, along with the PMS GNS530 mod. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

tiger1962 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 If you're sure there are no control assignment conflicts or conflicting mods in the Community folder, it must be a corrupt installation. I would recommend removing the "fs-base-aircraft-common" folder from Packages\Official\OneStore and rebooting the sim just to be sure. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

amberdog1 Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 I thank you for your idea but I have to say no it didn't work. What has worked on the 172 and the 208 has been I choose the departure airport on the world map the start the flight. Just after take off I'll do a direct flight to my desired airport. The 172 will pickup nav and I control my alt and speed. The 208 sometimes gets nav and other times I have to on my own. I still can't get the tbm to fly right. I have tried the exact flight in the you tube video and found the ground not long after take off... Happy Flyin.... AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
