Fs2020 low speed AP handling
-
Evening all. Does anybody else feel that low speed handling in autopilot, specifically in the approach phase is poor? I have found that at less than 90kias, the autopilot can fall out of bed and induce a certain tightening of the sphincter. All very well on a manual approach, where you have the Blacksquare smile across your face, but in low visibility, the AP should be your friend and to be honest, seems the least stable of pretty much all of my GA fleet. In manual flight, the Caravan is brilliant, but for me, I do find it slightly unstable with AP even with full flap and a fistful of torque.
Yes, I have deleted and reinstalled and this only applies to the pax minus pod aircraft. Needless to say, I still love it to bits and the Cyganski bankruptcy machine goes from strength to strength. Nicks aircraft are all that I could want in any hangar and will no doubt impoverished me into old age, but I am happy!

I should have added that I use the TDS GTN750XI and to confirm that the stability problem that I see is in the lateral axis. The AP still shows as connected, but the aircraft really wallows around in this mode, but in manual flight is positively stable around all three axes and is happy at much lower short field speeds.
