If you use autostart do you have the same issue. You need to work out why the "alarm" light is on maybe revise your startup procedure.

Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment.

Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

 

Currently rolling with a Asus Z390 Prime, 9600K, 32GB RAM, SSD, 2080Ti and Windows 10Pro, Rift CV1. bu0836x and Scratch Built Pedals, Collective and Cyclic.

The OP figured it out and commented on his Youtube Video. It is the common issue of having an analog axis tied to the throttle lever. If there is any jitter (due to a noisy pot) on the axis, the throttle lever will move just off full throttle. This causes several things to occur, but the most frustrating one is auto pilot won't engage. You should see a master warning light, and the AP light lit on the warning panel.

 

The solution is to add a 5% dead set in DCS for the axis you use to control the throttle. Set the dead zone at max throttle part of travel so that if the axis jitters, it will not exceed the dead zone and disengage auto pilot. There's no need, but I also put a dead zone in the lower 5% of travel just to prevent the throttle from having jitter issues there as well.
