Enko Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi there, Sorry if this is dumb, FSX SP2, I was practising with autopilot on a 737 800, now every flight, no matter what the airport or plane has the AP on, so the throttles are up etc. I can pause and shut them down, but don't know why it is happening. Please any clues for a noob? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Have you done anything like saved that flight and then put a checkmark in the "Save as Default flight" box? Big no no! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enko Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 I did save a final approach which had them on AND set it as default as I was practising landing >. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enko Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Quick update in case anyone else has the same problem, after deleting all saved flights, everything seems back to normal. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Another, very easy, solution: Ensure FSX is closed. Open your FSX.CFG file. Use either NotePad, included with Windoze, or NotePad++, a small freeware, very easy to find and download. ONLY ever use one of those two software to edit such files. More advanced word processors will add invisible symbols that will make the file useless and unusable by the sim. ALWAYS make a backup copy of any file you are going to edit BEFORE you do anything to it. Find the heading labeled [uSERINTERFACE] . Under that is the line SITUATION= . What comes after the = is unimportant, because as soon as you locate it, you will delete everything after the equals sign (=). Save the file off, close it, and restart FSX. The default flight, will now be the sim's original, default Default flight. You really should leave it as such. It prevents a lot of problems. This method, however, will permit you to keep all your saved flight files, it will simply reset the default flight. Good luck!
