Auto Throttle and altitude

Describe the bug
As I reached cruise, my throttles started acting weird. Anytime I would slightly get off of my airspeed, the throttles would go up and down dramatically to correct, making it look like "turbulence" is causing the speed change but in reality it is an effect of the throttles over compensating the correction.
In addition, I had VNAV enabled. Randomly, it said I was at FL380 instead of FL390, then it climbed extremely fast (without pitching the nose) back up to FL390. This caused VATSIM to read that I was at FL400, but my PFD says I am at FL390.
Expected behaviour
I expected the throttle to "pick" a power setting and make minor corrections to combat turbulence or any form of airspeed deviation.
The altitude issue is self explanatory. I expected it to not randomly say I was too low, then climb to get back to the altitude and then read something different to VATSIM.
Steps to reproduce
Essentially, you can just fly up to cruise. This is my first time flying the dev version of the mod so I expect it would happen frequently.

This is not a bug, but rather a temporary fix to the default AT. See there for more details: https://discord.com/channels/698720578055700650/767781189447843880/911535596323868683

That link doesn't seem to work for me for some reason. It takes me to a new GitHub link... I tried copy and pasting it but that also doesn't work. Either way, thanks for clarifying that it is a temp. fix. Would you happen to know anything about the altitude issue?
The altitude thing is present since SU5 or SU6, since they added the effects of temperature to the altitude. Your VATSIM client probably uses the former way of calculating altitude, hence the difference.
EDIT: the link has been fixed.
