Jim,

Any really, normally around 250kt on the 747, 2 notches of flaps. Also
tried engaging the AP when "cruising" at 10000ft, it seems to diverge
in any case, in whichever direction (coming from 12000ft, it will
simply rise away from 10000ft).

The elevator is centred.
I just realized the problem doesn't appear on the regular c172. On the
c172-yasim, however, AP wasn't nearly as stable as on the normal one
(whichever fdm that uses), but it does lock eventually, it just tends
to oscillate. Maybe it's a yasim issue...
In any case, it didn't happen before, and I haven't changed the way of
handling the aircraft.
