Has there been a fix found for this? I've noticed odd autopilot behaviour over the last couple of weeks too. I'm guessing the last update has some kind of bug in it. I use the Logitech multi panel so there may be a correlation/conflict between that and the latest version of the 414, and I know of 3 or 4 others who have suddenly started having having this issue. Basically, as the OP says, it sometimes won't hold altitude. But there are a few other issues, such as descending or climbing past it's target altitude. I've also noticed that sometimes when I'm flying manually, my autopilot switches itself on.

This issue occurs when scenery is slow to load in. Certain airports are more problematic than others, and it's also possible that a break in internet connection can cause it.

For the money, the iFly is an amazing aircraft. It all boils down to how casual or how hardcore of a simmer you see yourself as. For me, the iFly is more than "in-depth" enough, not to justify me paying 140 quid for the PMDG version.

Yeah, you have to disable the AS viewing system in the right MCDU, otherwise they will conflict. Not really a problem, as Ezdok is much better. I won't get near my PC until tomorrow at the earliest but I'll test out what you asked.

Works for me too. Thanks again Kevin, and thanks Aaron for starting this thread. Otherwise I never would have bothered looking for a solution lol.

Wow thanks from me too Kevin. I'll be trying this out as soon as I get a chance. Looks like a real solution too.

I don't know if AS themselves have ever commented on it, but I've seen various people mention it before. To me it's a very minor problem that I can easily live with. (It seems to be the same as your problem, but instead of the overhead, I get the sky). I have many problems in the simming world, and having to make an extra push of a button to get an external view to appear is about 387th on the list. You could try mentioning it over on the Aerosoft forums. You never know, you might get lucky.

I got this a few times before, although it was on the 737. But the same principle applies. For me it was a case of forgetting to hit the execute button on the FMC.

There is a known quirk about odd behaviour when switching from internal to external in the AS Airbus. In my case, when I hit the shortcut key, it switches to a view of the sky, so I have to press the key again to get it to display the correct external view.

It's because of things like this that you receive "the love, support and understanding it has so generously given our A320-X product" as you so eloquently put it. Unlike certain other developers who I won't name. Kudos to you for that.

This whole debate between game/simulation is getting boring now. To some it's a game and to others it a simulation. People have different opinions. Who would've thought it.

Ok, I'll try rolling all the sliders back as an experiment, although I won't get near it until tomorrow. However, if it's case that I need to sacrifice a bit of basic scenery or airport terminal buildings just to get the clock running on time, I think I can live with the clock issue

Hi Kyle, thanks for the reply. I can tell you my display settings are already set quite low in P3D as it's the only way I can keep a usable frame rate. As for the system clock, I wouldn't know what to check, but it definitely seems to be keeping good time.

Ok, first of all I thought I was imagining it, but after doing a test I know I'm not. The CHR timer is running a bit slow. Very slow in fact. It's actually losing 9 seconds for every minute. In other words it's taking 69 seconds to make a full revolution. Am I doing something wrong here or am I missing something simple? I'm not a real world pilot and I don't consider myself to be overly clever when it comes to flight simming either. I can just about do the basics. But one thing I can do is add and subtract numbers. So can someone please give me an answer?

Well there is only one version of ASN for FSX as far as I know. And the same version is used for both Steam and non-Steam versions. So I don't see why it wouldn't hold true.
