Did the Patch Break the Caravan?

[andyjohnston.net 617]

I used to be able to fly the Grand Caravan all over on auto with no problems.  But all of a sudden, it won't catch the target altitude, whether I use VS mode or FLC mode.  The only thing that's different is the patch that was released.

Hi Andy,

Just flew Grand Caravan during 2h after the patch, over high mountain, using often AP VS mode; no issue, Grand Cravan was catching Altitude.

Hmm, okay.  I did a couple of flights, will have to try it again.

I was doing the same, but over SE Alaska and was having no problems.

In my first test flight post patch just flying a circuit around the airport that for the first time I was issued a "TERRAIN" warning that I hadn't had noticed pre 2nd-patch.

Hello

Is there a way to fly with AP on with Alt enabled, but with manual heading? I can't  turn off wing leveler. Already tried all the available options, toggle autopilot wing leveler, autopilot wing leveler on or off. 

Thanks

Doesn't seem to matter what I do, on VS mode or FLC, it doesn't catch the assigned altitude.

Did you download a mod for the Caravan?  I know there was one that edited the default.  You want to roll all that back and go back to the default aircraft.

No, it's all default.

I thought maybe I was doing something different.  So I took it up for a gentle test around my local area.  Same issue, couldn't capture a steady vertical speed, or an assigned altitude.

Same issue here, probably related to the avionics bug since the patch.
