Autopilot conflict? In-flight self-activation

Featured Replies

Today I did long flight, about 1,5h. I fly with classic cockpit only. I'm one of those who like realism. But during the flight I lost control of the plane 3 times. I didn't know what happened. My ailerons were fully deflected and the plane hardly reacted to the controls. I opened a tablet, activated AP to see it .... it was "ON". When I had it turned off, everything was back to normal and I was able to control the plane again. The problem though was that it happened 3 times, and I'm on classic cockpit after all and I don't want any autopilot. This looks like some kind of conflict. Please verify and fix it. It wasn't pleasant :(.

I checked on HOTAS if I don't have anything assigned to autopilot on/off which I accidentally press, but I don't have anything related to autopilot. 😏

I will also do a longer flight tomorrow, see if the situation repeats itself.

No, yesterday was ok, but I only flew 30-40 minutes. Will definitely be back if something like this happens again. I checked autopilota state from beginning, it was on OFF position. Now its ok but we will see later ;).

Good news, finally I found the reason.

I had conflict with this key "Z" or Alt/Shift with "Z". I used this shortcut for Sky4Sim map (as next page), so during the flight sometimes I activated autopilot without knowing. I removed "Z" from MSFS settings. Will see however I think now will be ok. Id like to share my experience about it here.
