oldflyguy Posted January 9, 2020 Report Posted January 9, 2020 Hi Coop! Did a bit of detective work recently. I think I can confirm that this "bobbing" effect is connected to using AP (doesn't matter if it's the G1000 or the 530/430 stack. What happens with all the models is when at altitude and configured so the IAS is at about 170kts or above if the AP is selected this "bobbing" effect occurs. If the AP is left on and MP is reduced at about 160kts or less the "bobbing" will cease or be reduced to the point where I can't detect it easily. If the models are hand flown this effect does not occur at any speed. You may be aware of all this already, I just wanted to confirm what you may already know. 1 Quote
Coop Posted February 1, 2020 Report Posted February 1, 2020 Thanks for this info. It seems to be something with the XP Autopilot being too smart and thinking you are entering an overspeed protection range. We are switching the autopilot backend in the current development, so that should fix it. Quote
