Autopilot not functioning


Recommended Posts

Hi! I am finding that after the recent update autopilot not working correctly. My problem is every time I fly A Flight plan (plan created from MSFS Welcome screen) using the autopilot the autopilot does not follow the flight plan completely when the Airplane is about 20 miles or

so from the arriving airport it does not follow the plan anymore, the airplane simply drifts towards the arriving airport from any direction

then I need to maintain the flight plan manually. I have tried different airports but no differences. Please let me know if anybody else finds

something like this or if you please tell me what I should do to overcome this. Thanks

It is really difficult to be helpful without adequate information in the question. A screenshot of your panel at the time of the "problem", and information about any nonstandard equipment you may be using, will not only allow the forum to be more helpful, but will also make the question more helpful and relevant to other forum participants.

I have found on approaching a destination airport on autopilot, both in ILS and RNAV approaches, either on NAV mode or Approach mode, the aircraft does not follow the path on the MFD exactly. Once, on a approach, I just let the autopilot do it's thing and it will correct to the proper course and proper approach.

I would suggest you might give it a try....could eliminate some frustration with the sim.

I took the same approach and I held off to around 20 miles from the airport before invoked the appr and the ils. The only adjustments i made was the air speed on final approach. Brought my plane directly into the runway.
