Autopilot wrong behavior

[blast]

This is something I noticed a long time ago but I was too lazy to report it, so I finally decided to report it today:

1. :) When you activate the "barometric altitude hold" (key H), the plane will stabilize itself at the current altitude as expected. So fine.

 

2. :) When you activate the "selected altitude hold" (key shift+H) with a specific altitude, the plane will climb or descend until it reach the altitude value indicated into the selector drum. Fine again.

 

3. :mad: When you activate the "barometric altitude hold" (key H) AND you had used the "selected altitude hold" previously, then the plane will behave like a crazy bitch, climbing or descending by itself (in order to reach the altitude indicated into the selector drum I assume). Normally, when you active the "baro altitude hold" (key H), it is supposed to stabilize as mentioned at point 1, whatever the selector drum indicates.

 

Can you confirm that issue too?

That's an issue in 1.5.7 but it's fixed in 1.5.8 and 2.2 so it should be fixed when the open beta goes release :).

:thumbup:

btw, any idea when the release will be applied?

Also, Altitude hold does not hold altitude in the new FM...

altitude drops during the turn, to slowly get back to the initial altitude

Might need a separate bug report :).
