Autopilot Glideslope Not Working

Ronshizel

Hello Just Flight Team,

Absolutely loving the Vulcan in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Another quality Add-on by the team that's in my hangar along with the 146 and F28 :)

I'm having one small issue with the autopilot though that I was hoping someone might be able to help me with.

I've been doing the tutorial flight that's outlined in the manual and having issues with the Autopilot Glideslope function.
As soon as I pull up the Glideslope switch the aircraft starts to pitch up sharply and will continue up until it stalls.

Some More Info:

EGVA
Runway 27

ILS Freq set in Nav 1 via EFB = 111.10
Nav Selector = G.P
Pitch Selector = Approach

Both Heading and Heading Index set at 270 Degrees

At 3800 Feet by GIVIT

Confirmed once in range the Beam and Glidepath flags pop up in the Director

Autopilot = on
Autopilot = Engaged
Glide = Pulled up

As soon as I pull up the glide switch the plane starts pitching up regardless of the glidepath on the Director been level or below.
Aircraft continues to climb sharply until it stalls. Have to dis-engage autopilot to quickly takeover but sometimes after it stalls the auto trim gets disengaged as well so even though I push full forward on the joystick the aircraft is very slow to go nose down.

I haven't tried it at any other airports so I'm wondering if its an ILS issue at that particular airport in the sim? Or am I doing something wrong?

No one’s had this issue?
Or am I doing something that’s really obviously wrong? :(

Worth contacting Just Flight Support with this and they can look into it for you.

@Derek I submitted a ticket on the 11th of Jan and still no response.

What’s the typical response timeframe?

Ticket #77565

By Monday 15th - if only to say 'we have your ticket and we are dealing with it'.
Looks like some kind of issue with the ticket. We will look into why it has not been looked into. Apologies.

I also had the same problem once - shutting off the autopilot and resetting it on the copilot side panel worked.
I regard this as a detail adding to the realism of one of the first autopilots ever. ;)
