FOKKER F27 Friendship, ignitors & auto pilot trim
-
Hi.
I have just got the Fokker F27 Friendship and am trying to do the tutorial flight. But first thing, (this has no adverse affect but is annoying) both ignitors go ON & OFF together when they should work individually. Why?
Second, and this is a real problem, the Auto Pilot Trim switch does not work. Either in Left click hold for down or Right Click hold for up. Any ideas?

Hi Old John,
FSX Steam Edition with Windows 64
I have been flying the Fokker F27 since the end of August 2020 and have never had a problem with the ignitors not working individually.
For the Auto Pilot Trim switch I have never used as I like to watch the "Primary Displays" when making any changes so use buttons on my Joystick. Having said that I have had problems with the pitch, when descending at approximately 1,000 ft/min with the "Airspeed" hold on in the Autopilot, suddenly for no apparent reason the plane will go into a steep dive followed by a steep climb and carry on doing this until I switch off the Autopilot and regain control. I did contact Just Flights support team who tried to replicate it but couldn't so have put it down to my piloting.
