I didn´t know that there were 2 modes for selecting heading. My advice would be after you've achieved the requested heading, switch back to HOLD.Ģ) when on approach, before intercepting the localizer, use the HOLD mode to hold your present heading to receive positive indication that APP mode has taken roll authority by extinguishing the HOLD indicator. HOLD on the other hand instructs AP to hold the present heading, regardless of what the indication is on the MCP.ġ) If you know what your next turn will be, you can press HOLD to lock the plane to the present heading, and then dial in the next heading, and when time to turn, you can then click out the SEL mode from the knob to effect the turn. SEL is what you're looking for, it selects the heading from the above number, and is enabled by right clicking the SEL marking on the top of the heading set knob. To expand on what Patrick said, there's two heading modes in the 757 MCP. I wish I had read this forum before committing to this purchase. Just an acknowledgment that their working on it would go a long way toward easing my frustration. I also find it curious that CS has chosen to remain silent on this issue. I do like to hand fly the final 200 feet however and in the 757's current state, this is impossible. I have an injured arm and can only fly with one hand so I rely extensively on the auto pilot. The problem is, if you are flying an ILS approach down to minimums, you can't then hand-fly the aircraft in because you will either auto-land or crash before the autopilot disengages. This coincides with my experience exactly. (have the unregistered FSUIPC 4.40 14 november 2008) Ok, it is not how it's mentioned to work I think but for the time being you can manage this way. Have tried a 100 times and it alway's functioned this way. In both cases I do the following: I take care, that the plane is flying steady and straight (so when desengaging it will not start a curve or something).Īfter desengaging (the plane followes it's path) and there is no hand flying possible I wait some seconds (sometimes 2 seconds, sometimes 10 seconds) and I make small movements with my yoke after these seconds. wit the "z" key (when I do that I get a sound and a warning) with the big "white desengage key" (when I do that I get no sound and no warning) In fsx there is a desengaging problem indeed but with a trick I get it desengaged ok. In fs9 there is no problem with desengaging at all. Bought the 757 for fs9 and fsx a few day's ago and i.m.o.
