FSX - C 182 Unexpected problem

Post by Medrol »

Hello,
As soon as I run Elevator Trim Control, my Autopilot turns off.
Controls with mouse or joystick it's the same.
I checked all my assignments of my Joystick Thrustmater Warthog everything is normal. I modified the assignments, always same problem
This is the first time I have this problem
Thanks for your help

Hi Medrol,

Yes, this is how the real KAP 140 autopilot installation works. The autopilot controls pitch trim via a servomotor, and manual electric trim inputs will send a 'disconnect' signal to the autopilot.

Essentially, with the autopilot engaged you shouldn't need to trim the aircraft: the autopilot does it for you. However, you should make sure the aircraft is properly trimmed before you engage the autopilot.

Thanks,
Nick
