Plane does not follow waypoints in Auto mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Climbing to about 200 m above ground. Fliing to the first waypoint.
2.Swiching to automatic mode. 
3. Plane should follow the wayponts with an elevation of 100 m above ground.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
As the throttle cuts off, I tried to follow the wayponts just by sailing. It 
did not follow the waypoints.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
APM beta, Vista

Please provide any additional information below.

What did you use to upload the waypoints? and have you used the CLI to do a 
waypoint print out to verify

I use the planner and verified with the CLI.

I just updated to rev 1257, but the issues remain: No way of starting the motor 
when I am in another mode than manual. Throttle only works in manual mode, not 
in stabilize and auto mode.

Do you have an airspeed sensor attached or not?  Could you post the 
non-standard settings in your APM_Config.h?

I have not airspeed sensor. 

In APM_Config.h I just altered the Gps to UBLOX.

I think there ist a hardware defect. Throttle values (Channel 3) in the RC test 
are reflected in input but not in output.

See Issue no. 193

That can't have been the only change to APM_Config.h that you made -- the last 
line in APM_Config.h.reference is a #error so that users will create a new file 
with only the options they want to change rather than just copying the file and 
changing a few options (so that debugging problems like this can be easier).  A 
typical APM_Config.h file should look a lot like APM_Config_xplane.h.

I believe this is an individual user configuration problem.  I have 
demonstrated waypoint navigation several times with the beta code, with and 
without airspeed sensor.

Terence, please post in the DIYDrones forum.  This area is for reporting issues 
with the code so that we can work out bugs.  It is not the right place to seek 
help with your individual setup.
