Flight Question AMSO:Ascent autopilot cuts off

[palebluevoice]

After the separation of the first stage, skirt-step(spelled right?) and tower, after a few minutes(I'd estimate 3) the autopilot quits on me; always at what seems like the same time. I've turned off non-spherical gravity, advanced flight dynamics, gradient, etc, I've disabled some graphic options to ensure a frame rate of around 20-30 FPS depending on the camera view, my joystick is calibrated as far as I know...what could be causing this? I was able to complete a mission fine(well, I stopped early because of a mistake I made, but I did make it to the moon and separate the lander) after starting the scenario when the amso was in orbit, but I'd like to be able to A: do the missions besides Apollo 11 and 17; the ones that don't have scenarios already in orbit and B; do a complete mission from the t-6 minutes to landing on the boat.

Does anyone know what the the problem could be?

Try disabling Damage & Failure simulation in the parametres tab.

All the realism and perturbation settings were disabled; except for limited fuel; unless you mean to disable damage and failure somewhere in the cfg file? Thanks for your help by the way; whether or not it turns out to be this.

I think all the realism settings don't nedd to be disabled. Just the damage and failure.

Try to apply patch P2a (scroll down)

Yeah, but I already had them disabled prior to installing AMSO. Is there another file I need? I downloaded the AMSO file as well as IMFD(which I already had) but those are the only files. Perhaps I accidentally missed an addon that I need? I'll check the AMSO site again; perhaps re-download it and re-read the instructions. I'll post the results; still open to suggestions in the meantime though.

Ahh, I'll try that and post the results.

Yes you are right, Patch P2a was made to fix the disconnecting autopilot problem.

If you have problems with the Earth orbit injection of the Saturn V (systematic autopilot disconnection, in particular with Orbiter Perturbation options activated) please, apply patch P2a over the patch P2.
