ISSUE DESCRIPTION

When disconnecting the autopilot control input abruptly “reset” (all aircraft).

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every single time.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

You can replicate the issue for the aileron axis when testing the a/p on the ground.

  1. Disconnect all game input devices like wheel, joystick for better understanding
  2. Turn on master switches and engage autopilot
  3. Select A/P HDG mode
  4. Turn the HDG knob in a direction of your choice.
    (Like in a real airplane in active HDG mode the yoke (the aileron servo) follows the heading bug and the simulated yoke slowly turns accordingly. A press on the „A/P disengage“ button should disengage the servo and the aileron „axis“ would be exposed only to its natural forces again - in this case, parking at the ground: none. The yoke should stay in the last position it was moved by the servo.)
  5. Press A/P disconnect. → In the sim the yoke „snaps“ back to „neutral“ instantly, what is wrong.

Same is the case in flight and noticable (and a problem) for the elevator. Disconnecting the A/P not only leaves the plane in an untrimmed state (elevator trim does not follwow the elevator servo to neutralize forces). It seems all snaps back to the positions the controls had at the time the autopilot was activated so that the plane pitches abruptly.
