A320 AUTOPILOT ISSUES

[A320driver 17]

Lately, whenever I load the A320, after takeoff & during climb, when the autopilot is engaged the aircraft nosedives. The only way to stop the dive is to disengage the autopilot. During these times I have tried to change its heading using the heading control (after "pulling" it out) but there is no response. It appears that the autopilot is inactivated completely, on but not really working. Wonder if the FS9 update plays a part, as this was not a problem before the FS9 update. Any ideas?

only thing I can think of is fsuipc 'technical' tab - ensure 'disc elev trim for a/p' is unchecked.regards,Mark

Had the same problem after the update. I think I fixed it.- Clicked "OFF" the following in the Technical page of FSUIPC, all of which were turned ON before.1. Discon elev trim axis for AP2. Enable V/S sign correction3. Smooth IAS for external programsI have only flown once since then. I hope this is the solution, and not some fluke.Jana Kankesan
