MSFS copilot

[sparklinglad 2]

Can anyone explain to me why the co-pilot in my a32nx flybywire aircraft will not fly at the correct height.

ATC keeps telling me I am 300 feet to low, co-pilot agrees but will not go any higher

Makes landing by auto rather hazardous.

Jus flown from EGPF to EGCC and landed short of the runway.

Just seeking a little clarification.  Do you mean Autopilot?  IF so, have you adjusted your altimeter?

Hit the "b" key on your keyboard, it will adjust the altimeter for you.

Thanks for the reply but when I do it has no effect with co-pilot

Disconnect co-pilot and it works but when co-pilot is reconnected, he still gets the height wrong.

Hi, yes, I mean the co-pilot. I gave up with the AP a long time ago, it never worked since I bought the delux version.

I have now installed Xplane which does a much better job.

Now flying from EGKK to GCXO atc keeps asking me to expediate climb to certain heights, I'm always aprox. 400 feet too low. QNH 30.09 

Altimeter is bound to my b on keyboard flying with a vjoy mouse control.

If I take the short cut with the travel to button, it seems to fly at the correct altitude then.

No problems when I'm asked to descend and the co-pilot flys the ils ok but I have to watch 

I don't land short of the runway, gets a tad bumpy thro' the undergrowth!

Yeah I wouldn't recommend using the co-pilot. It isn't great.

It might be improved with next month's patch based on the preview they did for E3, but I dunno.

Once the new autopilot system hits the stable branch for FBWNeo, it won't work for that plane anyways.

Thanks for that, I'll look forward to it.
