Auto Pilot Problem

I noticed that when trying to change VS I have to click the up and down button several times to increase or decrease the VS value. It is kind of hit and miss. Example it might take 4 or 5 clicks to get to 100 up and then the next couple of clicks get you to 300 and then require 4 or 5 more clicks to increase another 100 feet. I thought it may be a focus problem with the mouse clicks but even when I program one of my Avonics panels it gives the same result. Almost seems like the Autopilot is not always listening for the input.This is all with Windows 10 and Prepar3d V4.3. I am on your latest version but I am pretty sure it was doing the same on the last ver also. I am just getting around to looking into this. Any ideas?

Click on the ALT button first to put in VS mode. The adjust up/down as desired.

Thanks Bill....Yep I was doing that part right and clicking the Alt button first. If it were a real airplane I would think dirty contact on the button or loose wire. That is how it acts. It almost feels like the system is to busy to take the info but that is the only button that causes this problem.

To be clear I have tried delete and reinstall but still does it. Thought it might be anti-virus but it does the same with or without AV on and so I don't think that is it.

If you are still around, no you are not. I face this issue as well, and that is on a new system with FSX SE as well as the issue was present on my previous system with FSX.

I will ask Bill to take another look. Thanks for the feedback
