hey..
Every time when I initialize/begin my decent, I turn off the AP and suddenly the aircraft goes either up or down, with a really high density. Can anyone help me out of this?
That's because your aircraft is pitched too much up or down. AP does that automatically to keep yuor aircraft leveled. You have to trim your horizontal stabilizer, the little wings in the back. One question though, why do you turn off AP when starting descent ❓ 😕

ohh,, i'm sorry.. Ididn't mean that I disengaged my AP, but I set the Vertical speed on minus. But when I approach the runway I do! And secondly, where do I Stabilize my aircraft or what you said?
On your joystick there should be a wheel or two buttons for controlling pitch. They are usually located at the top of your joystick.

Get a joy stick, any joy stick. Tell me the aircraft and the setup(alt, AP settings, airspeed, NAV mode) and exactly what you are doing. I'll try to recreate the occurrence on my computer.

You're in good hands now that CRJCapt has taken over this problem. 😎
