717 Autopilot (NAV) issue
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2019 11:34 pm
I am unsure if this is a bug, user error or even if this part of the autopilot is implemented yet ... but
I cannot work out how to get the Autopilot to follow the flight path programmed.
Upon takeoff, I select NAV and PROF modes as shown on the numerous tutorials on the web.
the aircraft then ignores the programmed SID and instead turns onto a random heading and then rocks backs and forth +/-10-20 degrees from its new imaginary heading.
It acts similarly to when an autopilot is trying to track a VOR at close range.
All other autopilot functions seem to be working and the autopilot is in NAV mode not HDG.
Any help would be most appreciated, thanks.
