Jet behaviour on case 1 approach using AT

[markturner1960]

So I have just about managed to get to grips somewhat with flying the Tomcat on a case 1, I have been using the auto throttle, as thats what I am supposed to do, yes? Before the latest update, it was not a great system, in that the throttle responses in response to trim and pitch inputs were delayed and usually too much or too little for what was actually required. This meant that you had to over correct each way and anticipate where the nose would be in advance .....it was very tricky, and resulted in a yo yo up and down of oscillations, not pretty, but just about doable. 

It may be just me, but since the update, this behaviour seems much  more pronounced, to the extent where the auto throttle is almost unuseable, especially in the groove. I may not be the best Tomcat driver, but this just makes what already difficult almost impossible. 

Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I imagining it? 

Edit: I tried the same approach a few times without using auto throttle and to my surprise, the jet seemed to fly much better, I was able to trim to on speed and adjust the jet using throttle and trim way easier than before.........so I will bin using the auto throttle function. I would be interested to know if what I am seeing is an intended result of the updates to the FM etc in the update? 

 

Thanks
