I love flying the fleet DC-9 but when the autopilt is on it will only turn in mulitples of 10. so if you are told to turn to a heading of 250....you cant do it. The same is true for the spped as well and the alttitude...ie you are told to go to 33,105 you can only to go to 33,100 or 33,200. I have no idea what causes this or how to stop it.

I'm not sure that you'll ever be told to fly an altitude of anything other than an even "100."

In RW and on VATSIM you will usually always be given a multiple of 10 for a heading or requested speed as well. If FS ATC gives you a heading of 105, you can fly 100 or 110 degrees and it will not "call you out" on it.

The biggest problem I have is when you are told to turn right to 335 and you can only turn to 330 or 340.

why would you want to go to 33,105? lol Bobby's correct, you won't be given a heading other than a multiple of ten and if you need to, then switch off heading hold and manually turn.
