    Hi,

    In working on some issues with overshoot, undershoot, loss of glideslope, and generally poor behavior of the Caravan AP; I found the very simple problem and solution.

    The aircraft is missing an ai.cfg file. Transplanting one in from another plane and rebuilding the layout.json solves the problem quite handily. Any further adjustments to the 'feel' of the AP can then be made in the [STICKANDRUDDER] section.

    Without this cfg file the aircraft is falling back to some defaults from whoknowswhere that really don't work.

    hi @theReproCase
    Sounds verry good 👍
    what means "rebuilding layout.json"?

    I guess he mean using MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe (a script to generate a new layout.json which are files referencing all files included in a mod)

    it s available on github

    Yes. The aircraft needs an ai.cfg file, and you need to update layout.json to add that file. Just needs a patch to address the bug, or a DIY mod in the meantime.
