I'm flying the Cessna 310 for MSFS and noticed the Autopilot was having a hard time keeping altitude. it would maintain for a while but then at some point pitch up violently.

So when I take manual control at cruise altitude, I notice that to keep the plane straight and level, you have to trim her all of the way forward. And this was causing the AP to shut off because it won't work if the trim is too extreme.

Take a look at my screenshot and notice I’m straight and level and the trim while is completely forward. Anyone else experience this? It’s causing me to not be able to use AP

I haven't seen this behavior. Are you using any of the assists or hardware that controls the AP like Honeycomb etc?

i'm using Microsoft FFB 2 and thrusmaster twcs.

however I no longer think this is a Cessna 310 issue but a MSFS2020 issue after doing some more digging. if i encounter it again i'll report back
