Have any of you have had a problem with any Bombardier aircraft that at times when you put on the autopilot the aircraft will go into a slow 20 degrees pitch down, and afterwards the autopilot won't even work?

What Master Luke is trying to say is, that your Subject title " Important Must Improve Topic Title", has nothing to do woth what you asked. "Hence you are unlikely to get a response to the question posted." Try "Problems with Bombardier Auto Pilot".

I must confess that in a puckish moment I renamed the topic title from "Important Must Read". But Anthony's comment still stands - it is helpful to provide a meaningful title.

Nothing against you Jordan because I have been guilty of it on more than one occasion but there are a lot of forums that will yank your thread for subjects like "HELP!!!", "What if...", "Boeing" and so on. It's always better to be as specific as you can to an extent. You'll get more hits.

As for your problem, is this the fleet a/c or are we talking about payware? Although I don't have a payware version, the fleet autopilot has never given me any trouble.

The fleet CRJ-200 and Learjet45 fs2004 defult (yes I have fs2004 and x, 2004 is able to be downloaded but will mess up once I push back). Also in my logbook if you look you can see that in one of my flights I crashed from a malfunction, please read it.

Now I'm confused. I feel like you're jumping between problems. What exactly are the problem(s) you're having?

I guess what he's saying is he's having problems in general with the a/c.

Jordan, what you might want to do is put in an issue in the help-desk outlining exactly what your issues are and Luke or someone else will be able to help you and 9 times out of 10, solve your problem(s). That's the usual avenue I take and it is the most appropriate if you aren't getting the answers here.
