    So first, I did the test on the AP at the beginning. In flight I set HDG and it worked for a while but then is started the drifting. So I tried on HDG and the AP did the same. Not the first flight this is happening. Is this a TDS issue or the TBM?

    Just talked with TDS and they said this; "It is MSFS which controls the autopilot for all aircraft/GPS add-ons. The TDS in NAV mode sends bank to the MSFS autopilot while in HDG mode it is all default MSFS AP. If the autopilot is drifting in HDG mode, then the issue most likely is not a TDS issue and should be investigated further internally.".

    Not sure what "internally" mean. Is it a Just flight or a black square issue?
    Thanks

    Since you're the first one reporting any behavior like this, I suspect it's something local to your computer that's causing the problem, rather than something with the aircraft as as whole. We see that quite often with my aircraft, since they play host to so many GPS addons. Do you see the same problem when using other GPS configurations besides the TDS? Each GPS has a different autopilot or autopilot configuration that it uses, so the behavior can often vary considerably.

    Please start by making sure all your GPS addons are up-to-date, and making sure that you don't have any old GPS addons that aren't required anymore, like the old PMS50 GNS 530 Mod. If everything is up to date, try removing everything from your community folder, including the TDS "gauge", and trying the autopilot with the no-GPS configuration. Obviously, if that works, you can start adding back addons to see what breaks it. Let me know how it goes!

    So I deleted everything to do with TBM 850. When you uninstall from windows some stuff are still there, specially a file called "state.cfg (make sure it is deleted) . I reinstalled the latest TBM 850 update. Now it seams that the AP is behaving again!! Finger cross!!!
