I'm having a little trouble with the AP in the DF737. When I select the altitude hold, it climbs and levels off fine. However, if go into time compression, the plane will rise or fall suddenly. In time compression, it happens so quickly that ATC cancels my flight plan before I have had a chance to level the thing.Is there a way to fix it???

Seems like with both the DF aircraft and default a/c you cannot go much higher than 4X speed on the time compression. I noticed if I went any higher not only did FS have to RELOAD objects/textures/traffic (very irritating) but the AP would porpoise up and down wildly.

Try running at MAX 4X and see if that helps

We suggest, and do not support anything greater than 1:1, or 1X speed. Anything greater than that, and you could expect problems. There is simply too much going on in the code with our AP and FMC to speed it up. I dare say if you could do the same with the real thing you could expect problems also. ;-)
