Wintermute74 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I have been looking through the forums for previous reports of this bug and am a little surprised it not been reported yet. It could perhaps be considered a minor bug, in comparison to others, but is still slightly annoying in my opinion (and probably easily fixed). From a cold start autopilot is automatically engaged to SPAK mode (after engine is started), at least visually in cockpit as the light becomes lit up. However, when autopilot mode is changed to another mode (e.g. ATT Hold or ALT Hold) and then back to SPAK mode the autopilot is suddenly disengaged (and all autopilot mode lights are switched off). To make SPAK (or any other autopilot mode) active again, it must then be switched ON. This seems counterintuitive to me. Please also note, that after this initial problem the autopilot switching works just fine and stays on until told to switch off. This make me think that some initial setting may be incorrect. Thank you otherwise for a wonderful model of the Viggen! :thumbup: Best regards, David.

corvinus Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Is this on the ground or airborne? Never seen this in the air and I am using this all the time. Never touched the buttons on the ground though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermute74 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 When engaged in ATT Hold or ALT Hold I use "SAS mode SPAK flight stabiliser" key to return to SPAK mode (but a mouse click on cockpit button for SPAK mode yields same effect). This switches off all lights and disengages autopilot completely. I then need to engage SPAK mode again to recover autopilot. I get the same effect both on ground and airborne. Mind you, this only occurs ONCE after a cold start. When corrected as described above it then works as expected (as when starting airborne).
