Experimental Autopilot tempremental

[scotgr]

Sorry if this has been covered or if no support is available. With the experimental version I find that the vertical navigation doesnt always work. When I take off engage autopilot it wont follow the flight directors but if I quit the flight and start again 1 or 2 times it works. I wondered if there is a knack to getting it to work first time or something I am doing wrong?

Thanks :)

Tonight I could not get it to fly on AP direct to a waypoint on the flight plan. Didn't notice if vertical climb was also affected. Latest update.

I’ve not had a problem with that but you would notice the vnav right away. It won’t hold an altitude, climb or descend

Same flight today with no update, and vertical is fine. And AP seems fine too. So, good luck.

I updated last night after my flight and it worked first time today. I am going to try again later 😊

Yeah sometimes you will need to load the plane few times until it works

I'm pretty sure direct waypoint routing is still not 100% implemented, same as holds. I've also experienced strange behaviour but be patient, the developers are aware and working on it!
