    Well guys mine is acting up all of a sudden too and I have not upgraded I am still using all the builds that worked fine for me a week ago.. Now I get steering with the MCP/Auto Pilot is flat out to lunch! If I leave LNav on the plane just flies in circles and if I try to use HDG I have to turn the bug and watch the plane. Can't go by the bug.... I just turn the dial until the plane is going the way I want it to. I have to start thinking this may be a windows update issue??!!! I have NOT updated my PM software but the AP is whacked... You tell me??!!!!!

    Yes, your theory is the only thing that makes sense Bob.

    What you guys could try is rolling back to a previous Windows restore point (a few weeks back) and see if that makes a difference. Or maybe uninstall latest MS updates (via Control Panel > Add or remove programs)?

    My PCs havent updated coz they arent connected to the internet at the moment (phew!) - so I can't check it myself.

    Ok, I now have my CDU problem fixed. I lost the chips on the FDS CDU Interface board... go figure. Anyway, FDS was excellent in helping me get it fixed and up and running again. I just finished a flight without a single hitch with the following updates:

    CDU390
    MCP420
    BGC450
    PMCDUNAV 0706 (navigraph)
    PMGCNAV 0706 (navigraph)

    Life is so much better now that everything is working again. Hope you guys got your problems worked out.
