In v1.2, I had serious trouble with the AP. When you set a new target ALT, it immediately starts ascending/descending to reach it. Normally, I would have to input a VS.
did you unselect alt mode ? will make some try, usually got VS after unselecting ALT ? havent try all ap behavior
look like ALT buttom act like a roll bettewn various combination of mode VS/alt ALT/ALT ALT or VS only mode if you have alt alt on display it will fast switch flight level
Yes… flying at a stable altitude, I would dial in a new ALT. Then click the ALT button which allows me to enter a new VS.
But in the new version, as soon as I start turning the altitude knob, it starts to climb or descend… and quick!
I think you need to click ARM after selecting new altitude since changelog states they are now using improved KAP140 which has different logic than old MSFS one. Haven’t tried it yet though.

Is that default climb rate 700fpm by any chance?
is anyone getting hesitations or choppiness with the new update? this thing used to be smooth as silk and since loading the update, i get brief hesitations as i look around the cockpit. i am also noticing that i get hesitations in the terrain if i lock my view. i didn’t change any graphics settings prior to loading in to a couple of flights. i have since tried knocking things down to low to see if that had any effect and it did not. i also removed any livery or other mods and still had no effect.
The Caravan updates have all been really impressive, especially the willingness to continue updating the engine and flight model and even incorporate JayDee’s tweaks.
Should we expect the updates that have gone into the Caravan (incl. Torque bloom, Inert Sep torque impact, WTT support with the 750, etc) in the King Air on release or shortly thereafter?

Anyone getting message error “Instrumentutil.exe not installed” on the weather radar? This causes the TDI GTN from starting too, it seems. Not sure what’s going on and what the “start menu” refers to.
What an impressive update, definitely worth the wait! I’ve not tried it yet but will very soon. Amazing that they included @JayDee6281 's tweaks. So probably no need to have his mod installed with this update. Also, I’m unsure how the custom sound overhaul goes along with the FTSim+ sound pack.

The TDS NXi requires its exe to run in the background. 1.Do you have the TDS NXi purchased? Do you have updated it after SU10? 3. Check the exe.xml fo the SIM to verify that the TDS.exe is startet automatically or 4. Start the exe manually.
Yes, TDI is purchased, updated and running (icon appears on taskbar). Tried reinstalling the Caravan but same results.
UPDATE: If I manually start instrumentutil.exe in programfiles(86) - it works. Kinda ridiculous, there must be a glitch somewhere.
Please don´t use my mod after this update. It is not necessary anymore and would only mess things up. Delete it^^. I already disabled it momentarely at flightsim.to. I will change my mod, only to try to make the analog mod compatible with the NoPod 208B.

the soundpack still works (engine sounds, etc). you will not get any of the new sounds for the annunciator panel, etc. or at least they didn’t work for me. i turned it off and went back to the stock sounds which aren’t as throaty but they’re good enough (imo).

No worries, thanks for the clarification 
so i uninstalled v1.2 and reinstalled v1.1. the skipping / hesitation is gone in the older version so i am not sure what the issue is. 
I have the same error shwing on the radar screen. I am flying at the moment for the next hour or so and will report anything else found. I also run the TDS GTN750xi though in sfandalone mode and everything is working really well here on that front. I am not going to interrupt the flight and reload though. I am enjoying it too much for that right now
Reading up on the recent posts and got to wondering - Does anyone know of a PMS50 GTN750 integration planned for the King Air Steam Gauge package? If so, I does it require the WTT plugin or is it stand-alone like the GTN750 plugin for the JustFlight Arrow? I have the PMS50 for the JustFlight Arrow and it works great. I did read on the JustFlight page for the KA mod that the aircraft will support either PMS50 or TDS 750s, but I just don’t know if this requires something to be done on the PMS side or if it will just work if I have the PMS50-instrument-gtn750 package linked to my community folder.
Side question (a bit off topic) pros/cons of the PMS50 and TDS implementations of the 750 would great.
Thanks!
Yes, if they are applicable to the King Air.

This should be fixable, I think I try to implement a compatibility solution for the FTSIM+ sound. Thanks for bringing this up.
