Lateral AP navigation is broken, on all planes

Discussion Hub General Discussion

The lateral AP navigation is broken since the latest update, if you try to do a turn using the AP on any plane, first it will go normally but then after 2/3 of it, the plane will start to level off and it will take forever to reach the desired heading.

You can try it on the C172 G1000 for exemple :

start a 150° turn, it will take 100 seconds to fully make it, and 60 seconds of those 100 to do the last 30° !

During an ILS approach, it will do the snake dance : turn, overshoot, turn, overshoot, turn, overshoot…

Why no in-house testers saw that issue???

Second this issue. Heading changes with bug inside a 10d window are “ignored” … Speechless at this point.

I tested all three airliners, they still perfectly do the necessary banking hence follow the waypoints thoroughly on my system.

But this only applies to the AutoPilot, of course.

When it comes to AI Pilot, it’s been broken since Japan Update and had never been fixed since then.

Glad, however, the latest Devs Q&A mentioned it broadly and devs are eager to work on and make it up and running back again soon.

Yeah I’m having problems with navigation the auto pilot is all jacked up the keys back into the right whenever I turn it on

Have just filed a report on Zendesk. The more people that do the same the quicker they might fix it. It needs to be done Pronto!

gordongreig and sarpouli Try again with the A320, 2000ft, 250kt

It takes 3m15 to turn from 150° to 0°, 1min30 just from 10° to 0°

It may well not work on the A320, but no issues on the TBM and Caravan - so not all planes

Same problem here, all headings are offset to the right. If I do not land manually, the airplane would crash in the terminal or outside the airport. And if I like to fly a heading of 090 I have to select about 082

Same on vanilla TBM, 1m40 for 150° and 55 seconds for the last 30°

So this would explain why my King Air 350 last night was acting up. I had to constantly bring it back to course via HDG mode and then it’d deviate again. There were segments of the cruise where heading would be ok but in several other parts it was definitely off to the right.

The freeware developer of the turbo bonanza, Robert Young, who is also working on the DA62, was ready to give up this morning, since Asobo changed the AP, freeware dev cannot modify and improve it anymore, it’s locked.

Amateur hour continues. A statement from Microsoft would be welcome here.

Imagine waiting a month for a fix :open_mouth:

I think hotfixes will be at point of need and not every month, but a major screw up of this caliber is really an amateur hour. All my default planes are banking 80 degrees on NAV engage. LOL

I have not played a lot this patch, apart from testing HDG issue, could you give me the way to reproduce the 80 degree bug

Here are some video comparisons made by Avsim member Marsman2020 on the lateral issue between FSX, X-plane and MSFS

X-plane

Serious problem with MSFS and proof for Asobo

I think they “smoothed out” the turning rates of the planes a bit too much with their AP tweaks. It will still get the turns for me, but the AP turns are VERY slow. As a result, it will often overshoot ILS approaches and such.

Actually it worked perfect for me in the A320 just now (no mod). Curves were doing fine. I had to fly the approach that way because of another bug, when it skipped to the final waypoint instead of flying the approach.

What would you like them to say, and how would it help this defect?
