Since the 1.19.9.0 hot fix numerous aircraft, C172, Beechcraft G58, DA62 have crazy autopilot issues. In the 172 I cannot turn on the AP with my Honeycomb bravo or selecting it on the aircraft panel. AP functions, Hdg, VS, Alt, will not turn on either. Sync of Heading Bug is inop also. I did not check all the other MSFS a/c, the only one that works correct is the Carenado Seminole PA-44 which was purchased from the market place. Anyone else having this type of issue?

TLDR Engaging the AP causes the plane to drop a wing and nose dive. FULL Ever since I got the game about 3 weeks ago I have had no issues with the autopilot. I am now on version 1.16.2.0 and the experience of flying has been absolutely ruined. This happened in light default GA planes. Mostly the (steam gauge) C172 and the Cub. I plan a flight using the GPS. In the AP I enter ALT=3500, VS=500FPM, make sure the primary souce is GPS. The usual. I take off and fly manually until cruise altitude, make sure its all trimmed and engage the AP.....and then the fun starts...😏 Immediately the airplane drops a wing, the trim goes full nose down in less than a second and the plane heads towards the ground in a dive. This was in the C172. I then tried the Cub. Same thing. I did a test where I planned a GPS flight but deliberately went off course and then engaged AP to see how it would capture the magenta line. It corrected well for a few seconds and then went ballistic and flipped the plane around the sky before diving again. I'm out of ideas. More baffling is that just two days ago the game was just fine (same version 1.16.2.0), the AP was fine. So I cannot point a finger at the update. Would be grateful for any ideas. Below are two videos I shot. They are very short (under a minute). Please check them out to see what I mean. Thanks for any advice! C172 CUB -
Dear PMDG I saw for the first time today that the 737-800w Hawaiian tumbled in the air. It flew course 250 with headwind 262/48 in very variable winds. The autopilot obeyed reluctantly my shift between heading and LNAV. It is annoying to see the same problems as the queen has, namely that it can not fly in perhaps more demanding weather systems. But need to have reduced all wind around the plane more or less. Have we reached the point that NGX has special types of weather it can not fly? I do not understand exactly what has happened. That which are updated with respect to NGX is: RAAS, Navdata, and FSUIPC. Anyway I so much enjoy the NGX Jens Michlas Copenhagen, DK

I ('cos I can be lazy) allow the crj900 get itself ready to taxi. I generate a flight plan in simbrief, load the flpln into the fms, chech it for discontinuities, set th AP to navigate, turn on vs mode and set to VS 1800 fpm. Set alt to 23000 ft. And take off. I get to about 5000 ft in a straight out pattern (SBND has no departure procedures) and press the AP button and I'm denied. It won't engage. I'm not a very experienced sim pilot. And I'm new to comercial jets. I'm accustomed to Garmin style autopilot. I'm sure it's my fault, I'm not doing something in the proper sequence, or there's something I need to turn on and or configure before trying to engage the AP. Can someone help... please. I really like the CRJ and I want comercial jets to be fun.

Hello all. I'm wondering if I may be the only person experiencing this. I can be in any phase of flight when, out of nowhere, while in VC view, my camera pans up and starts spinning 360 degrees...multiple times. While I'm airborne, once I stop the spinning from happening, I get the camera pointing out the front of the aircraft, my a/p is disengaged and I'm in a steep dive, usually causing me to crash due to airframe stress. If I'm on the ground taxiing it usually doesn't do anything but cause a major annoyance. I've had this happen during final approach, takeoff, cruise, basically whenever. I'm trying to nail down what I'm doing before it happens and there's no constant. I have noticed, however, that to stop the spinning I have to hit the POV switch on the joystick and it stops. I can then return the view to normal. If I try moving the view holding spacebar and using the mouse, I get no response and the camera goes back into it's spin. So I know that's a lot of info in there but I'm hoping someone can help me out. I've lost many flight hours because I've crashed in the last 45min of my flight because of this problem. If you need anymore info, please don't hesitate to ask. P.S. I'm using the Logitech Freedom 2.4 wireless joystick for controls.

after watching "Flying with Rich" latest episode about the limited edition cirrus, he stating that this is the best selling general aviation airplane in the world. so I was happy to jump and try it out in the simulator. bad call I switched from A2A Comanche which is an awesome add-on albeit a little tasking in fogged in Alaska. this Carenado sr22 is a complete junk, it's full beta, simply not a release ready product. The CDI in GPS mode does not work does not show the right screen stucks and does weird things all the time like buttons not working as 5 minutes ago or stuck in weather mode and unable to bring back the main map. alphabetical keyboard working or not. it depends AP speed hold mode completely off AP logic clearly buggy can't steer the airplane on the ground without braking The so-called immersive HD sounds have clear looping artifacts and all in all just very weak and lackluster. flight model is lame and arcade like. yet what I see is still sold on simmarket for 40 Euros, the latest version being 2020 or before. also some other Carenado products I tried are the phenoms, which aren't that bad, at least the g1000 works normally without the horrible navigraph add-on...so Coronado does have a limited but working g1000 addon. how is this possible, what's going on in the simulator addon market? why aren't these bugs corrected especially if they have a working code? why aren't they called out on this forum by the administrators? guys its 2022
