Greetings,
I recently installed the Carenado B1900 and have several hours simming it and I am a little frustrated. Let me start by saying that I have a high end computer designed specifically for FSX. I have never had any issues with the computer or any other add on aircraft that include many Carenado products which are my favorites. I really like the 1900 but it is the first aircraft I have installed that had "issues" right out of the box.
Of a couple of issues with the 1900 two are driving me crazy and do not appear on any other aircraft. Right ow the 1900 AP will not accurately track a ILS laterally nor does it capture the glide slope. In addition, I can shoot a stable (but not accurate) approach but as I inear the ground, the aircraft starts oscillating wildly. For example, when shooting a ILS at KORD that has two parallel runways, I set up the ILS for the right runway and start flying the approach. The ILS instruments show me dead on the approach (laterally) when in reality, I am flying the airspace between the two runways. Then, there is the occasional pitch and roll movements when I get closer to the ground. It is as if I suddenly hit wake turbulence. The only way to save the approach is to disconnect the AP and hand fly the airplane. ILS approaches into KDET and KARR experienced the same issues. In an attempt to trouble shoot, I shoot the same approaches with my favorite, the Carenado Seneca and the autopilot does what it is supposed to do right down to the ground.
I know just enough about computers to be dangerous but this would suggest a problem with the 1900 and not my computer. I sure would appreciate any thoughts on the issue. With the "buds" ironed out, the B1900 could be a real winner.
Thanks in advance,
