If I knew what flight director was for and how it could be used, then I would try that. But its so annoying to have my flights end up this way.
...and turn off the blasted EFIS!
Those rectangles look really cool, but they're a major distraction and totally unneccesary. Look at it this way: if you know how to use a VOR and properly perform an ILS approach, then you don't need EFIS and you're concentrating on those two needles anyway. If you don't know how to fly an instrument approach; then EFIS is just going to get you killed as you chase the rectangles instead of fly the approach. On the rare occasion I do use them - generally on zero-zero approaches into a short strip under heavy icing, turbulence and precip at two in the morning - I use it strictly as verification, rather than as guidance.
EFIS is not those rectangles, it is an Electonic Flight Istrument System,
[EFIS]
Active=False
Mode=VOR
Type=Rectangles
Density=Thin
Range=Short
NavAid=VOR 1
Altitude=0
Too many of these'll make you say almost anythingOn the rare occasion I do use them - generally on zero-zero approaches into a short strip under heavy icing, turbulence and precip at two in the morning

happens to me all the time when i forgot to trim the ailerons to their standard position before activating autopilot. At the time you press autopilot (on) it will head,climb,speed in the way youve put the autopilot. When you put the autopilot off the ailerons (in your case the ailerons therfore the dive) will automatically set back to the position before you activated the autopilot. So if your ailerons were downwards 30degrees before activating the autopilot they will return to 30degrees downward once you deactivate the autopilot.
in short....
after takeoff you put on autopilot, and remain on autopilot during the whole flight until landing on most ifr flights until you land and have to shut off autopilot. Then it returns to 30degrees downward and at 1000feet you wont have any anticipation to correct that aileron to zero. In real life it would also cause many g's forcing your body to even be unable to handle the steer at all let alone climb back. so make sure when you put on autopilot that your ailerons are set to 0 degrees.
