    Since the most recent update autopilot has stopped working for me. Although lights come on, neither HDG nor NAV mode controls the aircraft though course or heading appear to be set correctly.
    Also the ALT hold and VS clickspots do not chang from off to on. Hardware controls (Saitek multi-panel) have the same problems.

    @lagoyu The autopilot does seem a lot more sensitive. I've found I need to be in wings level stable flight to get it to 'catch', and even then it does wander a bit around the heading. I don't know if this is accurate, but it feels like it's designed that way. So this isn't a complaint on my part, just an observation of the behavior.

    For VS and ALT hold, I can get them to work, but takes a couple of tries sometimes.

    @martyn I have been using the GPS100, but I think I found the problem:
    I noticed in another thread that there were some compatibilty issues with the GTN750. I had the free PMS50 GTN750 linked into my community folder though not selected in the EFB; when I removed it the autopilot started working correctly :)
