[Auto Pilot engage]

In short like the zibo mod that this is built on top of, engaging this autopilot is simulated to be as it would be in the real aircraft.

It’s nice that they let you switch realism OFF, but if you wanted something less realistic why are you downloading all these hundreds of megs of zip files to do what the built in aircraft that ship with XPlane already do unrealistically.

 

oh no, it was just a question. I have learned since my first post, now it's ok. Thanks

[Auto Pilot engage]

Hi

I have a question about A/P engage. I struggle to engage it during climb.

I follow the path during climb with the lnav and vnav indicator in order to keep them in the middle ( for heading, alt and rate of climb ) and when it is stabilized, after flaps retraction and above 5000 ft, I try to engage A/P. But it fails.

There is a FMC preset red alert and I can't engage it. I have done some tests with the 736 and 739.

Is there a  special setting In the tablet in the Autopilot section or somewhere else? I am used to the Zibo and I have no issues with A/P. What do I miss?

Thanks for your comments.

Best regards

Philippe

That's all correct, you don't have to delete any file on mac. Just install as usual. As long as you don't get a scenery error your fine.

Ok, thanks for your commitment and kindness.

It usually is but the original developer of the scenery created jetways which cannot be extended enough. We already contacted him but without any result yet.

Ok, thanks. 

And at my question about SAM library in the .ini file, and plugin installation, what do you think?

That means you are out of range. Some parking positions are too far away from the jetway unfortunately. Try different spots please.

Ok,  I will try different spots and positions. In fact, I thought that when you open xplane asking for a gate, the aircraft is at the right place but it seems not to be like this. 

Anyway, thanks for your kind and quick answers and I keep in touch.

Hi Philippe,

could you please check if there is a file called sam.xml in your LSZH Airport folder? Where did you download the scenery?

Yes, the sam.xml file is in the first part (of 3) of the scenery. 

I add that I can see the LSZH SAM jetways positions when I open the SAM’s plugin once in the scenery, but blue buttons are not usable. I have carefully watched at the excellent video on YouTube

Hi Marten,

Thanks a lot for your answer

I am not home at this time but for your second question, I bought it on the Xplane.org store. 

Another strange thing, the guidance system doesn’t work either, but I know it is not necessary for the jetways to operate.

Hi

I have a strange issue, when I disable auto connect, the blue buttons that allow to connect each gate manually are not clickable .

I have bought the last LZSH with SAM autogate and I am on iMac. I have tried with FF320, JD320, FF777, all these aircrafts are ok for SAM. 

And when I start a flight, cold and dark from Zurich airport, the aircraft is connected sometimes but not always. 

I would like to know what I do wrong. 

When installing the plugin in Resources, should I remove Linux and Windows things or not?

About SAM library, once in Custom scenery file, is it necessary to move it in the .ini file at the top of everything ? I put it below all airports with all my libraries. 

Thanks for answer. 

Sorry for my bad English. 

Best regards
