In the first message, he complains about the fact that when he activates the autopilot with the "Altitude hold" mode, instead of holding the altitude, the plane goes down. So basically, he was asking why the plane would not just hold its altitude.

In the second message, he said that it seemed that the problem wasn't coming from your plane, but from FSX, which cannot handle the autopilot very well when the trims are assigned to a joystick axis. So in the end, it seems that the origin of the problem has been found and is not related to your cockpit

Look how my brain works Tongue

I thought he called Excrement to the VC , now that I read it after what you said you are right

I even thought he was expecting that the glide slope had to work with the approach together when they not supposed to do that
In a few words... I didn't understand this email

Thanks Stephane Wink

it sounds to me like he thinks the Altitude Hold is supposed to hold the current altitude, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it just take you to whatever altitude you've set in the autopilot control? I think he's confusing Altitude Hold with Auto Level.

The altitude hold takes you to whatever setting you've selected. Soooooo, if you turn the AP on and flip the altitude hold switch, which may be still set to all zeros by default, you're gonna splat.

About the only aircraft I've seen that hold the current altitude when the AP is engaged are the IRIS A-10, the CS C-130, and the SuperBug.

I love the smell of radials in the morning!
