Cool , This answers what was going on with my flights.

I just want to add my two cents regarding this issue. And I wish this topic remains open for as long as it is required until resolved.
Yes the AI co-pilot used to work 9/10 times (or the whereabouts) upon initial release. And then it got completely broken. But after the VR release I gave it a try on the A320. And apart from the overspeed issue above 10000 feet, it performed better than before (but worse than the initial release). A couple of landings in LGTS (thessaloniki, Greece) were almost perfect. But many others ended in disaster. Many times it veers off the RW centerline and even completely out of the runway and turns before it reduces speed 180 degrees like a racing car.
Now I want to point something: For many of us who are not hardcore Fsimmers or professional pilots, the proper function of the AI pilot is very important. For me at least it is. Because when I return home from a long working day, no matter how much I want to study how to fly I just donāt have the stamina. So I want to use the sim as a virtual passenger. Even more now since Covid (and economic situation :)) has made real tourism a thing of the past. So lets keep this thread alive and hope that sooner rather than later we will be able to enjoy virtual flights to/from any destination performed with professional accuracy from a skilled AI pilot.

AI has not worked for a good long time. The AI co-piloted plane veers left, hops down the runway on takeoff, climbs erratically, flies into mountains and always lands left of center. This was NOT the way it worked in the original release. It also over revs the engine(s) and seems to get lost at times. I realize the AI is not important for many but for me is a way to see scenery without having to pilot the plane(s). It would be nice if it worked as advertised.

Since the last update it make right turns and follows the flight plan again. Butā¦ as many of you said: The landing is almost always an desaster. It lands left or right in the near of the runway and crashes into houses or the ground. Sometimes it works. When choosing an direct landing, it seems to land correct on the destination runway, but it desends to an altitude like 3000 feet, then it climbes to 15000 feet and then desends again and then it lands. I have no idea, why it is doing this.
I also have to play without live weather, because with live weather on, the ATC always request me to climb to my FL39 for example, but the plane is on that FL. And because of that, it desends way to late and landing is not possible with the AI thenā¦
But at least it can take off and follow the route againā¦ before the japan update, it could land and follow the route also, but while take off, sometimes it doesnāt take off and just crashed into houses after the runway endsā¦

Same problem here ā¦ at least the latest update helped a little ā¦ I guess we need to wait a bit longer.

way longer
my landings with ai control have been a disaster. the ai will always miss the runway in some degree. sometimes it will miss que runway completly, other times landing too soon and hitting the houses surrounding the airport. this has to be fixed asap.

The AI Control has been broken since launch day, and its 2021 now and still Broken. it might never get fixed. but still love Flying Regardless of the AI.
Has anyone else experienced the autopilot and AI flying with a constant full rudder deflection? Itās happening whenever I turn on AP/AI with any aircraft in the simā¦ this results in the weird situation of the airplane trying to keep on a heading while in a bankā¦
Controls are perfectly fine unless I turn on AP or use AI.
When Iām flying, and need to go to the loo, I often put the AI Copilot on to take care of any altitude changes, etc. Ever since the Sept, or Oct, update itās never worked properly. I already submitted a bug report about some issues, but this is a new. Despite being a cruising altitude, and speed, when I turn on the AI copilot it reduces the throttle to zero and tries to ram the plane into t e ground. This happens on all GA aircraft it seems.

AP and copilot Ai was working until the last update. after last update when flying AI or AP nearing approach the rudder sticks in a hard right or left turn and spirals to the ground, when I turn them off and try to take manual control the game wonāt let me and I still crash into the ground. Is there something I am doing wrong or a setting that I am not making. Canāt play this simulator at all right now,
I can no longer use this game because my rudder is stuck in a constant hard left turn. Cant even fly manually. Please fix this.

Hi @GameySnow606122,
Yes, AI Control pilot is still a work in progress as all other AP controls need more work. The AI Control pilot relies on this. The developers know about it.
As far as āconstant hard left turnā, assure that Modern is selected as the flight mode, instead of Legacy.

This topic is about the AI Control and not Autopilot.
If you still have problems, please report all bugs to zendesk:

I was able to use AI control with no problem after turning the live weather to just clear skiesā¦and the flight plan on PFPX helped really well
Where able to navigate around mountains?
Or did you have to announce to your passengers to put the seatback in the upright position, tray tables stored & locked and seatbelts are securely fastened? 
Its far from perfect, I agree. But from where I first discovered it on Day 1 where it worked āpretty goodā, to the months of loss where it was 100% not functional, to now where it works and 50-60% of the time it works well its an improvement. I hope they can continue to refine it.
some time i want just to look from the window and in the end land peacfully, but let the AI
controlling the plane is a disaster.
- the plane does not allined with the flight path, overspeed issues, goes out of path and crash.
please, fix it. it will be great.
The AI Control will never get FIXED, its been broken since day 1
