turns with auto pilot engaged

Post by guard2017a »

When flying IFR and auto pilot is engaged and when i get vectors for landing when i change the heading all the plane does is weave across the sky and never getting to the required heading. I dont know what is wrong or what I am doing wrong I switch from gps to nav and switch to heading but the plane still weaves all over the sky. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Hello,

Not too sure from your post which autopilot mode you're actually having trouble with: is it NAV mode or HDG mode?

Could you also let us know which host sim you're using, and whether you're able to maintain a framerate of at least 18 fps?

Thanks,
Nick

Could you share a screenshot showing exactly how you have the GPS and autopilot configured when you see this issue? It's a little hard to follow from your description exactly what's going on.

You can attach images using the "attachments" tab when you post, or by uploading to a file/image sharing site and posting a link.

Thanks,
