If i stay in the aircraft external view for a few minutes the autopilot switches off and the aircraft wanders until i reselect autopilot.
Hi, there’s a known bug that sounds very similar to this:
Since installing the beta, I have found the above problem with multiple aircraft. In the external view, which I frequently use on sight-seeing bush trips, the aircraft does not follow changes of course but flies straight on past the waypoint. It also drifts off the set heading, and randomly gains or loses altitude. It is erratic and does not happen at every single waypoint or change of course, but it does happen frequently.
This happens on both standard game bush trips and those from 3rd partie…
And another user posted a possible workaround in the thread:
A workaround I have found is to open the MFD display as an external window (Alt-GR + click on MFD display).
Having the MFD visible (either from cockpit view or as an external window) seems to cure the AP inability (in 1.33.8.0) to maintain the course (esp when it changes) and VNAV limits.
The External MFD window can be resized (Edit: or minimized) and placed somewhere that is not obtrusive. If you close the external mfd window, the AP issues come back.
Hopefully this helps with your issue

Thanks for your reply. I have tried this but it did not fix the problem. I moved the MFD to a second monitor first. Then set my main monitor to external view but after several minutes the aircraft started to wander again.
Are you flying a plane with the GNS530 ?, looks like issue still persists:
