Anyone having this issue where it won't descend?

I'm trying to descend so I select my initial descent altitude and I select v/s mode and select my v/s and nothing.  I also tried managed descent mode as well and nothing.  Bah.

It works using V/S and "Managed Mode", it's just a little sensitive. Be patient, the plane might need a second to engage the descent. Just dial in the desired altitude and engage managed mode once. A few moments later, descent will initiate.

Have you engaged your altitude and v/s on the knobs (down arrow) and AP active?

Yes done all that I flew the payware A320/A330 on P3D so I know all the modes. i tried everything for ages. I sent a report via Zendesk.

While I found the AP to be a bit erratic to say the least in my first hours, I think once you get the hang of it, it works pretty well. V/S seems to disengage after a while (sometimes), but managed mode always works for me.

I personally use Op descent / climb. Just set your target altitude and pull on the knob. The aircraft will calculate its VS while keeping current airspeed.
