I did on the first day I got the addon. And a Craig already replied to my ticket, that you're working on it ;)

I have experieced this rolling behaviour. I was flying on HDG mode and, although i was already on my nav radial, when i turned the coupler to NAV mode with AP still engaged the plane banked violently down and left. Afterwards any attempt to engage AP in any mode caused the violent roles and it really ruined my flight.
Is this a user error or a bug?

It is a bug and according to the changelog of the upcoming update it should be fixed. Fingers crossed :)
With the workaround by avoiding this situatoin as stated above I was able to use the autopilot without major issues for a few flights already and providing as much info as possible to support it helps figuring out these issues that quickly. -
Thank you for this... I have been experiencing similar sudden right or left full wing dive without apparent reason and I was really freaking out... I somehow could relate it to the AP but was not at all certain about it...
As far as I could tell, the issue will come up without the AP being even engaged, and it will disappear if I activated and then deactivated the AP master switch (or so I think).
We can all agree that, even if you happen to activate the AP the wrong way or using an incorrect procedure, the plane should never end up in such dangerous flight attitudes...

This a critical error which may impact the whole experience of flying this aircraft, however I dont see it in the v0.3.0 list yet. That´s not good.
v0.3.0 (pending release)
Direction Indicator (DI) bezel now illuminated by panel lighting
Whiskey compass animation fixed
Sun visor animation now visible from exterior
GNS 530 display now remains visible after GPS unit toggle on EFB is used
Landing gear auto-extension logic fixes -

@Sender46 that´s a bit weird for I have been facing issues with AP on v0.2.0, when taking off if I switch the HDG first then switch the AP the airplane turn right or left and I never get the AP to work properly again, usually need to restart the flight.
