Okay,
I see the commit as there in Github.

I just tested it and it works.

Something must be wrong with your FGFS. Alot of my planes seem to have problems for you...? Strange.

Well,I took the KC-137 out and everything works... so I don't think that my FG or me is a problem.

That's weird. They are running the exact same version of IT-AUTOFLIGHT.
Can check the other A340s?

Same thing.

On the A346 VIP is even worse,the nose goes up-down a lot....turns and WP transition are also very bad. When climbing ,the vertical speed goes to 6000! Same thing happens on the KC,and that's probably the worst part of it. These are heavy jetliners,not rocket-ships....

Now that I don't understand.

It's fine for me.

Please send me your FGTAPE

Thanks. I really wonder what it is. I again tested, and it's fine for me.

So,after more flights,this time with A350 and A340-600 and -300 ,the results are ....well like a nightmare.

A350 ,everything works,but the nose is going up-down violently ,A/T goes to 100%,V/S to who knows how much.....crazy.

A346 and A343...A/T doesn't work at all,LNAV works. way-point transition is bad,rolls a lot.... I had to manually control the thrust,and that's how I found something. it seems that ITAF is not working correctly with A/T. I had thrust at about 70%,and the plane was climbing at 2000-2500 ft/min,beautiful... but ,when I pushed it to 80%,the nose started to go up and down...

So,I have flight tapes for A350 and A346,how to send it to you?

PM, Dropbox works. Or google drive.

V/S is known broken, I broke it a few updates ago by accident and never noticed, since I rarely use V/S.

Throttle must be set to 70% ish 60-80 should work for the auothrottle to engage. This is how airbus works.

I tested all but the A350, and I had no problems in anything other than V/S.

V/S will be fixed in the next version.

Everyone else who flies my planes says they work fine, what is your frame rate? Below 15fps ish might have problems.

I don't use V/S,so that one is not that important.

A/T never engages....no matter what I do. Same thing for all A340s. FLCH send the plane up like a rocket,not V/S,but the vertical speed commanded by the FLCH is huge... so,don't why,don't know how but on your A340s,in my case A/T is dead and FLCH commands some crazy climbs.

FPS is around 30.

this is starting to sound like the specific sequence of steps performed needs to be written down and posted here so that others can mimic the exact same button pushes at the same times in the same order to try to reproduce the problem...

FLCH will keep speed with pitch. High climb rates are normal, very powerful engines.

Put your hardware throttle around 70% and it will engage. (Tested yesterday)

Maybe the best way for me ,right now ,is to simply avoid these aircraft.

Maybe.

I really don't understand why my planes don't work on your system.

Again, I can't reproduce it, so I can't fix it.

Josh,is it possible for you to write down a simple ''how to'' on how to use ITAF on various aircraft,for example on the A340s? That way,everyone will do it the same way and it will be easier to track down any errors.
