Hi all,
I'm a new FS gamer (about 3 weeks). I'm having trouble getting the autopilot to
work on some flights - it will happily keep the wings straight and follow GPS
paths but not hold altitude correctly - with the plane nose diving through the
autopilot selected altitude. I have the correct parameters checked and I've
tried using the pull down menus as well as cockpit controls. The only aircraft
that seem to handle correctly are the Cessnas. Often, on a flight after being
unable to get the plane I'm flying to maintain any altitude on autopilot, I
select a Cessna - then set the autopilot - which will always work, then select
my original plane and sometimes my original aircraft will then fly correctly
altitude wise.
It's frustrating, any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
John
