Hi there!

I'm having some trouble with the Autopilot Disengage.
I have a PFC yoke and cannot assign the autopilot disengage to the red
button. I only have the option to assign the Master Switch wich turns it on and
off, but this is causing a conflict.
I use the Goflight MCP to input CRS, HDG etc into my GAIFR panel.

Ever since I assigned this button to my yoke I was never able to turn the AP
on the MCP on and I hear a disconnect sound each time I press the AP
button. The GAIFR AP button never lights up and I cannot activate it here
either.
The only way is to press that button on the yoke, which was suppose to ONLY
disengage the AP, like the real deal.

I wanted to know if GAIFR has any conflict with the Goflight MCP and how can
I assign just the disengage button to the yoke and leave the Master to the
MCP or to the GAIFR buttons.

I'm not sure this is the correct forum to ask this, but neither goflight or
PFC answeared my mails.

Hello Jon,

do you have any control over the goflight MCP autopilot command? I mean, can

you define what it does or does it simply set offset 7BC to 1?

Ciao

Enrico
