In the first version / release there was a lot to do about the gain or los of altitude with the AP in charge . ( see topic 

Fokker F27 - Climbing while cruising )

I thought it was solved with the last update / sp ( aka an whole new F27 download and install .
So my first question is ,,,, are you sure you have the latest version ?
If so , take care to the following ,,   dont use the alt hold on the flight director controls on the main panel , but only on the A.P.
Also it is important that you fly level ( by trim and not force on the controls ) before you lock the alt hold . 
And switching of and on while in level flight , wil also help sometimes .

But use the alt lock on the autopilot .

Let me know of this helps .

F 27 Autopilot.

I like this plane a lot , however when I engage the AP the a/c loses 100' per minute.
Any suggestions from anyone.
Kind Regards

I have difficult to follow any flight plan...

I am confused  with autopilot, generally I put NAV and GPS put me in the right direction...

I cant find a way... I can use one pop up GPS?  I read different topic about GPS and autopilot here in the Forum, but I did not see any about flight plan. sorry if i repeat a topic.. and sorry for my poor English..
