Auto Pilot Vertical Adjustment
-
The manual says that when in altitude hold you can adjust up or down to ascend or descend by using the mouse wheel within the outer perimeter of the coupler.
This does not seem to work effectively. Looking for input from others regarding this.

This is easier to do if you have cursor tooltips enabled. When you hover over the click-spot it will pop up with the tooltip so you can confirm you have the right spot, and I think it actually has the selected altitude in the tooltip so as you scroll your mouse wheel you can see what altitude is selected

Do you recall which GPS unit was selected on the EFB when you tried this? The autopilot logic will vary depending on what GPS is selected.
With "NO GPS" selected on the EFB, the PA28s use our autopilot logic so should work as per the manual. With any of the GPS options selected, the autopilot behaviour can change as the GPS units have their own custom autopilot logic which tries to overwrite our own autopilot logic.

Another suggestion, from discussion this morning:
Are you using the LEGACY or LOCK cockpit interaction system (Options > General Options > Accessibility > User Interface > Cockpit Interaction System)?
If you are using LOCK, can you please try LEGACY?
Cheers,
