• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX Autopilot Oscillation

I decided to revisit an old bird that I've left idle for some time. I remember now why I stopped flying it aside from the VC not being awesome. It's the DC-2 by the UIVER Team. They've programmed some oscillation into I believe the autopilot although it may be someplace else. During level flight with the autopilot engaged the plane will continually go exactly +/- 200 ft. When it reaches the +200 ft., the autopilot changes to -100 ft. per second and the plane descends to -200 ft.
A few years ago I managed to contact one of the team and they admitted they did it on purpose but didn't offer a fix. My expertise ends with adjusting fuel flow and changing the weights & measures, so if anyone has any ideas of where to look for the cause of this annoying bit of programming, I'd appreciate it. Thank you. :)
 
*Sigh*
This is product support, not development.

If it's deliberately programmed in, it's somewhere in the gauges.

It seems logical to me that "development" people would be knowledgeable in where to look for such an anomaly. Sorry to have put you out by reading my post!
 
As I've said, if this behavior is deliberate, it's coded in a gauge. Into which one exactly is for you to find out.

Keep in mind that this won't be an easy fix without XML coding knowledge since you will have to recode part of that gauge.
