Does anyone have this issue? On the EJet V1, I have LNAV and VNAV activated and while at set cruise height, the plane constantly pitches up and down, up and down and won't hold at the flight level I selected. It keeps dipping 100 below altitude, then climbing 100 above, etc. I've googled the problem and the Feelthere guys swear it isn't an issue with the people that ask it.

Adam,im not expert.with EJet,but tell me one more thing: when u reach the FL cruise, the speed hold that FL or tend to go down...i means like u loose speed? because sometime if ur to heavy the aircraft fatigue to stay or to climb to that FL. Another thing, can be the turbolence, that's what I think, do not take into account, or like we know in the higher elevations, density altitude has a serious impact on the performance of any aircraft. Air is less dense the higher the density altitude is, and as a result, less lift is created, making your airplane a lot less efficient than normal.

confused

I hope this help u.

I have noticed this in the Ejets 170 and 190 in FS2004. Not so much on the 175 and 195 in FSX. I have always thought it was a bug between weather and model.

What weather do you use. I have seen problems when the injected weather is from FS and not from like ASE or real environment. Also make sure that you go into FSUIPC and turn off the weather in there. something to do with the interaction between FSUIPC, the aircraft and the weather generator
