Dear TBM : I want to Luv you but , Its difficult .

[AmeliaCat 201]

it just tried to kill me again,, flying straight with slight decent,, i centered hdg bug , pressed AP and then HDG and it increased down trim to 74 percent !!!!

I didnt even get a chance to select alt or even press alt it just went nuts.. maybe its trying to level out the planes inclination to climb but doesnt recognize that i am in a decent,

Are you using the traditional fancy-schmancy controllers?

Maybe be like me and try a gamepad... (I play lots of games and hate switching the yoke in and out)

Now that I think of it, I may vaguely remember having an experience or two like yours when using my thrustmaster a while ago.

Perhaps look for duplications or overlap in your Controls settings.

when this happens all I am doing is using my mouse to press the AP buttons,,,

[AmeliaCat 201]

perhaps left click is bound to " Kill the kitty" ?

If you have other controls hooked up you could still be triggering conflicting behavior.

TBM flies just fine. It has bugs, for sure, but none of that behavior you describe. I'd start troubleshooting my setup. 

All the autopilots demonstrate the same problem reported by the original poster. Fortunately it doesn't happen on every flight. Some people never experience it at all. The A320 does it. The C172 does it. The prevailing theory is that the bug has something to do with "interference" from AI aircraft. One recommendation is to tinker with the MSFS AI aircraft settings in order to lessen the occurrence of the autopilot death spiral. Others suggest increasing the dead zone setting on the yoke.

In any case, this bug has been reported numerous times both here and other online flightsim sites.

Anyone still using active pause? Thats a good way to end up eating dirt, too.

Okay, since joining this thread have completed three successful tbm flights, no anomalies detected... This just all seems... random. 😕

So ive been flying the TBM all night i was flying down the coast of cali near san diego doing max speed about 1000 agl getting about 25-30 fps.. when all of a sudden my game froze ann then unfroze and a citation whizzed by then it froze again with citation still in sight  and then unfroze when it was out of sight. ridiculous that that causes my game to freeze.. turnning off all multi player aspects of the game off from now on,,
