when i set the ap to on, and set my altitude and ias, when i return to turn autopilot off, the plane goes into a crazy spin, usually crashing into the ground. is this just me, or is this a problem for everyone?

With all airplanes or a particular one?

all planes, its not so bad on the props, cause i can usually save it before it hits the ground, but i cant fly any of the boeings, once they start rolling i just give up. is there some process that im not following here? i get my flight path and everything situated then cut it on.

I've also noticed some wierd 'happenings' as regards to the autopilot, mine sometimes just refuses to turn to the correct headings etc, random stuff like that, no idea what to do about it though...

same thing happend to me with one constelation when i shut off autopilot start to spining around and crash,all model did the same until i reinstall the *.cfg, somethings funny about some adds-on

ok, i havent installed any add-ons yet at all---and i run the program off of the cd's rather than the full install. i have no idea what a *.cfg is. if this makes a difference whatsoever, please let me know. thanks

Very strange problem this is. No previous experience about it will make solution harder.



Try disconnecting the joystick and fly a test flight. See if with the joystick unplugged (and possibly its drivers disintalled) the airplane behaves.

It won't help any but I'v never had a problem with an Autopilot of any kind. Do I feel lucky?
