But the Asobo one is not actually fragile. It is not the basic autopilot that is wrong. It's what they keep doing to it that is wrong. Did you see Marsman2020's comparison video showing FSX and X plane heading capture using default aircraft, then comparing it with the latest MSFS update? Before the update the heading capture was almost perfect. For reasons that are a complete mystery Asobo have slowed down the heading capture to a crawl for no good reason. It was not the source of problems that people were having at all.

I have been tweaking the previous a/p code for weeks and I can confirm that, with a bit of trial and error, it was almost as good as the standard FSX basic a/p (which was actually very good).

There are so many other demands to make a mod or new product work well. It was rightly assumed by all concerned that the last thing they needed to worry about was the autopilot. Nearly all the reported concerns regarding the a/p with various aircraft were not the a/p itself but either flight model setups or badly tuned individual parameters to the standard a/p. The a/p itself was totally reliable, but people understandably started blaming it because they did not understand that the odd behaviour they had with some aircraft was not in fact the core a/p coding at all, but flight model mistakes or a badly setup individual a/p variables.

I can assure you that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the basic a/p code at all. The FBW Airbus is a completely different challenge as it needs an a/p that can do all sorts of non standard stuff like Fly By Wire functions, sophisticated VNAV and managed,FMC-based altitude and lateral functions that have always required custom programming.

Ive been folowing your stories on it, trust me, i know what the problem is. When i said fragile, i meant its usually the matter of many complaints after patches. So whatever they do, its nearly always affecting the AP in some way, shape or form. So having a back up one, open source, and fixable in a day or two instead of a month, i say yes.

Download it from here, if not mistaken they are going to move the code to the main repo as fbw branch but is not built yet (I think, perhaps @IcemanFBW can clarify this)

Did not try the link yet but is that the very same dev version I get when using the fbw installer dev version? Just wondering since I downloaded the latest dev version via their app today and the neo again did not capture the flight track after it took off at Atlanta. It started a right turn again and again, also after de- and then re-activated the AP multiple times. If fbw gets this really right then I am in for some funding. Do they already accept now donations to support their work?

Nope is not yet in dev branch, is in the fbw named branch!

It's certainly fixed for me. I could reproduce the issue 100% of the time if I didn't perform the save/load workaround. All is well after several cold and dark tests.

Thanks, I will also try doing landing again, it stayed in the same mode below 50ft in previous version DEV and Release.

Sadly still the same, during a full flap landing, 130kt, different retard height from 50-20ft, still the same thing, not enough drag or too much lift and nose not going down

I just checked the A32NX github, it's a bug and it's work in progress

I'd actually feel just a little shamed if i were ASOBO to have freeware Devs fix the stuff i can't get right.

Yep, confirm it works. Great!! Thx a lot, FBW and Asobo! For those still seeing issues with the latest dev mode, please verify to try the neo with the default (FBW) livery

Did you use the custom fly-by-wire?

Where can I get it?

Edit : i just saw the 3th download option with custom fbw, i will give it a shot

good, just in case a good starting point is this https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx though I prefer the installer they published, being able to chose from dev or stable branch. 

on a side note I did download the latest dev mode 1hr ago for a flight from Mo I Rana to Kastrup and managed alt mode does not work, set to FL200 but still sends me down to 6700 feet, selected alt mode works however. nicely cruising now into SUVAR

EDIT now approach into EKCH but as soon as I enable SEC1 the AP behaves weird again, steers right away from course.. trying to land now w/o SEC1

Edited December 4, 20205 yr by DAD

Ok, so I did a couple of landing using the custom FBW, they are much better than the previous version 🙂

I have downloaded developer build today and so far it works great

The new version master Branch Build (with custom FBW) only for the AP?
