2 Problems with the Cessna 208 Caravan

Hi Guys
My current go-to plane is the Cessna 208. I have flown it also in 2020 quite often.
In 2024 (in Career - haven’t used it in free flight yet) I have two issues:

  1. When I am on final and using the autopilot to glide down the localiser/gp the 208 would constantly bank left/right - and this quite a lot. I have to basically always handfly her down (which is not a problem - but I don’t think that this banking left / right is normal, or is it? Flaps are either 15 or 30 and speed I tested between 85 and 110 - always the same issue

  2. After landing - when I want to brake she starts to wobble left/right and becomes almost uncontrollable. I think that prior the last patch I did not have this issue - but now I hardly can land her propperly. The 172 on the other hand was a breeze. Am I missing something?
    Oh and yes - my landing gear and tires are “New” in Career Mode - all OK there.

Any ideas?

There is a bug report about that issue here:

Cessna 208 Caravan wobbling on autopilot - Bug Reporting Hub / Aircraft & Systems - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

The wobbling mentioned is referred to as a ‘Dutch Roll’ and is a real-world issue, but I agree that it seems quite dramatic after the latest patch.
