Plane dives after reaching set altitude
-
After successful climb to armed altitude the Caravan will go into an out of control pitch wheel spinning down descent. Along with this I noticed also the barometric altimeter control knob wont let me turn it. usually works on the ground and intermittently in the air. Not sure if they are related. The pressure changing knob has same issue on the Baron pro also. Using the thrustmaster yoke

@t4murphy I suspect both of these are local hardware problems, as there is nothing that should interfere with he kollsman knob in either aircraft, as they use the default Asobo templates. I haven't had any reports of uncontrollable dives connected to autopilot mode in any of my aircraft either, so I'm inclined to believe that both of these issues may be related. Just Flight Support might have some ideas, since they help users with many more aircraft than just mine alone. Let me know if you learn anything, or if there is anything else I can do to help you troubleshoot.

@t4murphy Are you using 3rd party binding software? I ask because I have a problem with the Starship where if I bind the elevator trim switch on my yoke via Axis and Ohs, using that switch results in a runaway trim situation and it's nearly impossible to recover. On the other hand, if I bind the trim switch via the default sim settings, I have no problem. There are some clear differences between our situations (Caravan vs Starship, Honeycomb vs Thrustmaster), but it sounded similar enough that I thought I'd pipe up.

I was able to do a short flight last night with good success. One thing I noticed was not to use my B key for setting altimeter like I do for all my AC. Seems to screw up the kollsman knob response. And I noticed it would set an altimeter setting to some ultra low altimeter setting not matching current altimeter on ATIS so the plane would chase the new setting even though it was erroneous. Also I think running my Winwing app in the background since it was on autostart may impact altimeter use since that is a binding on my 2 EFIS controllers. Just a suspicion. The other thing I did was initially launch in sim with Adobe cessna 172 as some post suggested.
