Autopilot (FMC) Problem
Autopilot (FMC) Problem
Has anyone else noticed a problem getting the autopilot to work when flying FSEconomy on Pilotedge? I'm speaking specifically of the FMC system. I've tried two different FMC systems and one goes blank and the other lights up but displays inaccurate data. I'm using XPlane 9.6x.

Re: Autopilot (FMC) Problem
Does the plane you're renting in FSE have an autopilot? It's been a while since I used FSE but I seem to remember not every plane has an autopilot "installed", and if it doesn't, the FSE client will disable the AP in your plane. Just like it adjusts your fuel and payload.

Steve likely nailed it. You have to see if the plane you are renting is equipped with AP, or the plugin will disable it.

That makes sense - Thanks.
Re: Autopilot (FMC) Problem
On second thought, what Steve mentioned cannot be the problem, because the airplane used for the FSE flight engages the FMC fine when I'm not on Pilotedge. Also when I fly the FSE airplane on Pilotedge alone the FMC works fine. It is only when I fly with both FSE engaged and while connected to Pilotedge that the FMC doesn't work.
