Pitch Oscillation with X-Plane and MSFS with Autopilot on

#Software, Pitch Oscillation

wdelorme

Basic / Anniversary

Good Morning NFS,

I know I have not contacted you folks in a while on this issue, and you have been very helpful in the past with my NFS G1000 hardware/software solution.

I’m still have trouble with the AutoPilot in both XPlane and MSFS porpoising or oscillating up and down in pitch when I activate the Autopilot from my hardware. If I activate the Autopilot through XPlane or MSFS2020 it does not oscillate at all, but if I select a course heading or GPS heading and turn on the Auto Pilot with altitude Hold it porpoises or oscilates in the pitch axis. It has been a mild to moderate annoyaunce for a while Michael (one of you Reps) look into it remotely. He calmed it down a little but it is still very annoying and takes away from the realism of the sim and hardware experience.

NFS website says there is 1.3.6 update, but when I go to my download page both XPlane and MSFS2020 still says the version of both 1.3.5. I was hoping there was an update that would fix this oscillation, I was thinking maybe NFS was possibly now using direct Autopilot function with their respective simulators (XPlane and MSFS2020). May be that is the issue?

Everything else works flawlessly with the respect simulator (XPlane and MSFS).

Also is there a plan to add synthetic vision?

Any help you could provide to me on the problem would be greatly appreciated.

PS: If you are available today (if not I understand), I will be in busy until later in the afternoon like 4:ish. I’m available tomorrow until 4pm.

Thanks so much!

Wil DeLorme
