C182 autopilot unstable

Post by airnova »

C182/P3D V4. Initially autopilot operates satisfactorily but becomes unstable after disengaging and engaging it. Heading bug not captured and heading continues to deviate right and left of the bug setting. Also occasionally aircraft continues turning left
Altitude also increases and decreases. All other default aircraft P3D V4 autopilots (including autopilots similar to the A2A C182) operate without problems. Tried re-installing C182 but autopilot still becoming unstable.

Hello

unlike the more relaxed realism AP's our autopilot is a realistic simulation of the AP unit. Are you pressing the buttons for the correct times as mentioned in the manual for correct operation, and are you flying in conditions that the AP can work correctly in without pilot input needed.

From a tech support angle, are your frame rates dropping in the sim meaning the AP cannot work correctly. FPS should be above 20 which is the probably around the minimum I would recommend. Higher would always present a better experience.

thanks
