Heh King Air 90 GTX enthusiasts!

We have a pretty good platform here to work with. There’s a lot right with it, but to get attention to the corrections it needs we have to make some NOISE!!
Noise being VOTES and COMMENTS on bugs that have been posted.

Please vote or comment on this bug. The Autopilot works pretty good, but this thing where you engage it in climb and it starts pitching down to kill you(virtually speaking) aint cool.

Vote or comment for NO VIRTUAL DIRT NAPS PLEASE to get this fixed!

Sincerely,
Your fellow sim enthusiast

Almost crashed and burned again after engaging the autopilot in the BE9L. Very close to having to call out search and rescue south of Umea, Sweden. I’m pretty sure Asobo would have to pay for the bill in such a case.

Please put in BUG-LOGGED folder!!!
