IR Sensors are working, but the servos don't show reaction

My problem:I'm trying to get Ardupilot 2.1 to work, but I don't get the servos reacting to the IR Sensors. I don't have a Z sensor that's why I use 2.1. I entered 0 at this line: #define SENSOR_Z 0.When I run the Infared board test program the XY sensors are working properly.But here comes the crazy part:I tried the same thing yesterday and after a while (about 1 minute) the servos started moving correctly to the sensors. But aren't they supposed to work and react right away?Today I can't get it working again even though I didn't change anything, the servos will move after a while, but not according to the sensor. The rudder and elevator just move sometimes without any traceable logic.The calibration process never worked. Same thing happens on version 2.0.1Only the manual mode works fine.Does anybody have a hint how I can solve this problem?Thanks greets Simon

    "The calibration process never worked"? Could you explain more? I'll need to know everything about your setup, GPS, sensor orientation, etc...

    BTW, we don't support 2.1 anymore, so long term you'll want to upgrade.
