    Hello. For some time now the autopilot has been malfunctioning (found with both III and IV), probably caused by some MSFS update. This is because on my last flight with the PA months ago the problem did not exist. I also carried out a test by removing all the addons except the PA III/IV from the Community folder and the result was the same. What happens is that after activating the autopilot and the heading switch, the aircraft correctly starts to follow the heading bug. But then trying to change modes, e.g. selecting NAV on the Navigation/Approach coupler knob, the aircraft remains in a sort of 'roll mode', and does not follow the active radio VOR. Also by setting the HDG mode on the Navigation/Approach coupler knob again the aircraft does not follow the heading bug but remains in the initial "roll mode" state. To make the aircraft 'sensitive' to some mode again I have to deactivate the autopilot and activate it again. The problem does not always manifest itself at the first mode switch of the autopilot, although in my tests I have never had to wait long.
    Thank you.

    No response either from the open ticket or here in the forum. Is Just Flight still in business?

    Do you have the WT 530 installed?

    Same problem here.

    The new upgraded WT GNS suite won't work properly.

    I find the switching between GPS and Vloc on the GNS causing a constant flickering between the two modes and folliwing the GPS route is impossible.

    Apparently some aircraft need modifying to alliw it to work properly.

    Hopefully JF will be on it after the holidays.

    Unusable for now.

    @gabe777 At the moment I have solved it by uninstalling WT 530, as suggested by pms50.

    Yeah. Im getting TDS GTN 750Xi and uninstalling all the rubbish G1000/3000 and GNS mods.

    Nothing but issues.

    Hi, I followed the information above and excluded "pms50-instrument-gtn750"
    "workingtitle-g3000", "workingtitle-g1000nxi", "workingtitle-ingamepanels-vfrmap", "workingtitle-instruments-g1000", "workingtitle-instruments-gns", I ran Flight Simulator with PA-28 and autopilot functions they started working again. I note that when MSFS was opened, it performed a mandatory update by reinstalling "workingtitle-ingamepanels-vfrmap", "workingtitle-instruments-g1000", which are mandatory. Did you reinstall gtn750 afterwards? Did he cause problems? Thanks
