ALTS Altitude capture


Recommended Posts

Greetings,

Since the last MSFS update and I have the latest CRJ version installed the AP is not capturing the altitude selected (on decent) 50+% of the time. This is particularly apparent using VNAV. On the climb it seems okay. I have looked through the manuals and do not think I am missing anything. It is not following the "star" on the right side of the PFD. The last flight it went into a 4000'+ rate of decent and maintained it. Until the last MSFS update of several days ago it worked flawlessly. I have not seen this issue mentioned by anyone else.

I noticed a similar issue.  I had no problem capturing altitude on climb out.  I was descending using VS mode.  I couldn't get the aircraft to descend faster than 1500 fpm.  It then broke through the set altitude.  I double checked and the AP was still engaged.

Same here. I set alt to 31000 and climbed via both vs and speed but on both occasions the aircraft climbs to 31200 and stays there with ALTS CAP in green.
