Air gaps & jumps

Hi,
during any flight, during the route this add-on only (this doesn't hapen with all my other MilViz, A2A, PMDG etc. add.ons) at random this plane is subject to some event like "air gap" or "jumps", losing its control, putting out of order the AP. This lasts fraction of a second, but enough to loose control of the plane.
My graphic card is GTX 1070 and updated the driver to its last version.
Thanks for any help,
Fulvio

Turbulence? Weather program?

Hi JB,
no, in P3D and AS4 either

Do you get them if you don't run ASP4 at all?

I always use ASP4 since I like to fly at live real time mode. I'll try to exclude it. Feedback will follow

Hi Jonathan,
deactivated AS4, deactivated REX real time weather, deactivated turbolence in P3D and flown with "cold fronts" condition only, but very little has changed - if not nothing -.
Nothing similar does occur with all the other MilViz planes (T-38s, F-86, F-100 etc. eyc,, plus the other manufactures ones. And I don't think to remember something like this in the former P3D versions. I evenimproved my graphic card and processor. I must confess I'm quite frustrated since the Phantom is one of my top favourite jets.

Realism sliders showing 100%, crash realism slider set to 0?

Hi HJonathan,
here's the screenshot of my realism settings. No problem at all with ALL the other add-ons. And, as an update, I'm flying in the very same conditi(REX live Weather etc.) on the VRS F-18,and, apart for some very short stop and go (like all the others one, since I'm flying on a ORBX full region), the flight is smooth as the water. And I can assure you that the this will happen with any other MilViz or mot plane. If you like, I can remake this flight on a T-38C, or a F-100; I'm absolutely sure I'll not face these air gaps or jumps, that makes this plane unmanageable.

Auto rudder and crash tolerance are 2 items that should be turned of.

Try with the T-38C, as none of the other aircraft have our ADV flight model.

I'll do it. Very same conditions; REX live weather etc.

Hi Jonathan, a feedback:
-Since I had stability issues with Aerosoft's Tomcat, "Turbolence" option has been unchecked a long time from P3D & AS4.
-I'm currently using REX live Weather only; AS4 has been put in a hangar
-Yesterday night I flew the same flight (EGVJ-LOWG) twice with both my ADV T-38s (A & C), without any single issue like the F-4 ones (air gaps and jumps).
-In the last two weeks I flew all over the US with the T-38C without facing any single issue. More, thanks to the lack of an AP, I practiced to fly with the elevator trim.
-Yesterday night I upgraded my P3D to the last version (Hotfix 2) and, just before writing these lines, I made a last attempt hoping in some miracle. Unfortunately, to no avail; after TO, activated the AP and levelled the plane, some seconds and - bum! -, the first air gap. So I gave up and closed the sim. It's incredible; I try to understand if I'm making some mistake, but my attitude is the same as in the past, when I didn't get any trouble.

Got it. Probably is a bug then on our part. Will put it on the squishing list

Not yet. I'm still at a loss as to what can cause it.

Just one more lead I thought of, any chance you could monitor the wind speed/direction with Shift+Z and see if any change in it correlates to the loss of A/P?
