Violent Engagement of Autopilot

[AeronauticaCEO]

Version

Stable v0.5.1, Development f341d4e

Describe the bug

When autopilot is first engaged, the aircraft's trim resets to zero position, resulting in a sudden and violent pitch down movement before the autopilot re-trims the aircraft.

To reproduce:

• Properly configure the aircraft for takeoff.
• Begin takeoff roll, hand fly and establish a properly trimmed climb immediately after rotation. Ensure FD is perfectly centered.
• Engage autopilot.

Expected behaviour

Autopilot should engage smoothly and aircraft should not pitch or bank violently when autopilot is first engaged.

Steps to reproduce

To reproduce:

• Properly configure the aircraft for takeoff.
• Begin takeoff roll, hand fly and establish a properly trimmed climb immediately after rotation. Ensure FD is perfectly centered.
• Engage autopilot.

Hi,

Same problem here. This trouble seems to be in relation with the speed mode of the AP. I'm not facing this bug when clamping the AP with a selected V/S + ALT SEL mode. It only occurs when the AP aims a climb speed, etheir with VNAV profile or FLCH.
