Is there some issue with the A/P and vertical modes? It was impossible to capture the altitude I had selected, I tried V/S and FLC, both porpoised all over the place, climbing and diving. Even when I hand flew to the correct altitude and then engaged ALT, it was incapable to staying at the correct altitude. I tried Recyling the A/P, nothing improved things. Then to make things worse, after an hour flight, as I was starting to land, the aircraft froze. It was still in motion, but I was frozen. Keyboard, mouse, joystick were all non-functional (had the same issue with the PMDG 737 a few nights ago so I donât believe this has anything to do with the P2012.
Itâs on here somewhere. I might be able to find it if you really need it but the mode ones are the same format as the alpha numerical keys just change the ending to the name thatâs printed on the button and youâll have them.
Edit. Found it.
Update v1.0.3 available
Hi guys, as promised here is yet another small but important update to the P2012.
We improved the autopilot key bindings. It should now be safe to use TOGGLE AUTOPILOT MASTER event (aka âzâ-key) to turn the autopilot on and off without actually switching the AP MASTER button which caused issues to a few users. We also updated the documentation in that regard.
Additionally the fuel flow is now pretty much corresponding to the performance charts. Itâs the closest we can achieve within the MSFS environment. Available now in Contrail and in Aerosoft One.
Changelog
- Improved fuel consumption
- Increased nose wheel rotation angle to improve turn abilities
- Changed AP key binding events to prevent AP master switch toggling (see difference training)
- EECS pre-flight-test back to normal operation

Thanks. Are there any events published for the P2012 and the AP in particular?
Should that be v1.0.4?
Yes, it is 1.0.4.
Can someone make a FPS comparison quick. Tecnam P2012 and Stock 208B. I need good performance for my VR, before FPS comparison i dont want to make purchase.
Almost all of the published control related stuff for the P2012 are custom LVARâs. All listed in the manual. I havenât checked the AP control yet so not sure yet on that but Iâd be very surprised and indeed annoyed if they were using anything other that those well established for that same model autopilot in almost any other G1000 equipped aircraft in the sim. They all use the same events and variables pretty much.
Thanks. I found the list in the manual/
Sorry, stupid copy paste error 
Exactly, weâre not using anything special but the default G1000 events from Working Title

Just wanted to bump my previous post. Anyone else having issues with the autopilot capturing and maintaining the selected altitude?
I am looking to get this aeroplane, What do you people think of this aircraft? what about systems/fidelity - Is it complex enough?
To be fair,
If you go to the developers website, look at what the offering isâŠ
Youâll be able to get the answer youâre seeking.
Not one of us knows what that really means to you.
I, personally love this airplane. I have high standards and all boxes are checked

Iâm curious what kind of elevator trim settings are typical for takeoff? I had a hard time getting off the ground near Vr in my first flight tonightâŠwondering if it wasnât trimmed correctly.
Can you make a FPS test vs stock Cessna 172 Classic? Just a quick one standing in end of the runway.
Thanks - I guess the only way to find out is to fly it myself. From developers website it looks promising in terms systems wise. I have countless hours IRL in single engine version P2008JC of Tecnam.
Could it be that the crosswind sensitivity is a little too strong compared to the real aircraft? I have the feeling that the crosswind simulates too strong an influence on the airplane both during takeoff and landing.
Thatâs for every native MSFS plane isnât it?
Possible ⊠but with the P2012 it seems to be very pronounced.
