I flew the beta this morning in the C172 and DA62, both still suffering from the same problem in the G1000.
I find it very surprising that something as simple as this is not yet fixed, 5 months after launch. It would fail an airworthiness certificate. It is absolutely reproducible, it affects everyone, it is easy to check when it’s working. It’s an “open goal” for the developer. Yet still not fixed!
The difficulty with these kind of bugs is that it’s hard to get upvote traction on the bug report. Most people casually playing MSFS wouldn’t be aware that the autopilot functionality isn’t working the way it should.
But this is a simulator first, and a lot of us would really appreciate more dev resources allocated to the proper simulation of avionics.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• all G1000 equipped aircraft

It’s now been eight months since it was feedback-logged, but it is still not bug-logged.
It is a bug which is easily reproducible, affects many aircraft, and makes flying awkward - each plane I’m in I have to check whether the controls are right or wrong, and then remember to invert the controls in my head if necessary.
This bug was not present in FS2020, so I’m surprised so many planes are affected in FS2024. The fix is easy, just time-consuming with the number of planes affected, but even so surely it should have been addressed by now?
The title of this thread is now obviously misleading, and should be amended.
As well as the DA40NG, this problem affects several other aircraft as listed in the comments above, and others I’ve come across as well.
It seems to be GA aircraft which are affected, so the title should be something like “Nose up and Nose Down functions reversed for many GA Aircraft”.
Correcting this would emphasize the magnitude of the problem, and may even result in the problem becoming bug-logged (as it deserves to be).
This bug has kept me from using 2024 to supplement my IFR training because I don’t want the sim to instill the wrong muscle memory. And I don’t really trust the rest of the G1000 sim to behave as well as the 2020 version does if something as simple as this has regressed. Fix it please!
This bug still persists in the current Beta.
Surely this should be bug-logged by now. Assuming that the Asobo Devs know how the FLC feature works in a plane, it is extremely easy to replicate - pressing nose up should result in the speed setting going DOWN (which would allow the nose to rise), but the speed actually goes UP. This is not an intermittent fault - it happens 100% of the time in the affected planes, so is easy to reproduce and then to BUG-LOG the problem.
This is yet another of those problems which didn’t happen in any plane I flew in FS2020, confirming my belief that FS2024 is sadly as much of a downgrade as an upgrade.
It doesn’t have that many votes.
Is there really a minimum number of votes a topic needs before Asobo will classify a bug as a bug?
Whether they have time to address it or not, it should still be recognised as a bug so it can enter the triaging process.
I would add that many bugs they have fixed have never even been the subject of a topic - they are on the list of “Known Bugs” Asobo had at release - so effectively zero votes.
It may not be enough. As of right now the bug with the lowest amount is 58.

There seems no rhyme nor reason in the classification
Can reproduce in all aircraft mentioned above.
Just bought the sim today… It sure is pretty… but I’m disappointed with with the lack of attention to detail for basic systems.
Clearly the G1000 just needs the button mappings switched in code.
Can’t be that hard.
Edit - Clarifying the issue…
In VS mode the buttons function as they should.
NoseUP increases the climb rate by 100ft/min
NoseDN decreases the climb rate by 100ft/min
In FLC mode the buttons function incorrectly.
NoseUP increases the IAS target but should decrease the IAS target
NoseDN decreases the IAS target but should increase the IAS target
The logic simply needs to be inverted in FLC mode and it would be fixed.
