Virga Alphajet AP Anomaly

I don't know if anyone had this problem or even tried using the Autopilot function for the Alphajet. There was none for the Jet but the cfg file did allow for it's use and so I used the GTN750. About 98% of the times I tried to use it the airplane would go into an uncontrolled rocking side to side so I had to do without the AP. Trimming it to fly hands off for more than a few minutes was difficult so I spent an entire 400nm flight doing nothing but trimming, endlessly trimming, lol.

Virga was able to finally locate the culprit (a fix for my problem) in the ai.config. They mentioned adjustments in the PID's under the "StickandRudder" section. I don't have the fix yet maybe in a day or so and I'm looking forward to getting back in the cockpit, so thanks to Virga for taking the time to troubleshoot a very specific glitch that no one else had reported. Well Done!
