autopilot with ffb

[WelshZeCorgi]

the autopilot reacts weirdly when using a brunner ffb stick. Hitting the altitude reference button causes the 14 to suddenly pitch down while the AP reference light remains on. Only after leveling the jet after this odd pitch moment does another press on the reference button cause the jet to actually maintain altitude. 

 

When the AP is turned off, the jet suddenly becomes tail heavy. 

 

with attitude hold is engaged, the 14 will occasionally roll in the opposite direction as commanded, (rolling left when pulling the stick right, in my case) 

 

I'll try to get a track file attached later.

I think this occurs regardless of stick. I use Virpil F-14 stick and same problems occur as you describe.

As I understand since last update of flight model, autopilot had been borked a bit

You need to trim nose up in Attitude hold, then AP alt hold will engage like advertised but yes, its still pain in the butt

We are reworking the AP as the old model does not suffice after the latest FM changes anymore.
