Level-D V/S not holding

[cfoley]

Hi,   I just recently started having problems with my Level-D 767 Vertical speed.  It will not hold on auto pilot and the plane just shoots upward at a very steep climb. I tried all kinds of trouble shooting and sumbitted a post in Level D and they suggested I re-install Level D 767 and FSUIPC.   I did reinstall Level D 767, but not FSUIPC and when I did 3 test take offs, it seemed to work ,but on a planned flight, the V/S stopped working again on descent and on another, it did not work on take off.  It just keeps shooting upward and there is no control unless I push the nose down.   All my other add on aircraft work fine.    I have purchased FSUIPC last fall and have used the 767 since then without this problem.  In your opion, should I reinstall FSUIPC and if it may help with this problem?   My only concern is other problems crop up if I re-install FSUIPC.

Did you have FSUIPIC reinstalled again when V/S stopped working? Above you don't mention reinstalling it.

 

If you didn't its not a problem with FSUIPC

 

If you did have you checked buttons and axis assignments in case there has been a control assigned that shouldn't be and is overriding the AP?

Thanks for the reply!  No,  I did not reinstall FSUIPC.   I kind of figured FSUIPC was not the cause but just wanted to find out if reinstalling it might help.  But since it is likely it is not the cause,  I will not reinstall it.  I checked the FSUIPC Axis assignments and nothing is selected for Level D 767.

Suggest save your FSUIPC4.ini file somewhere safe. Then delete it, and start FSX - try a flight and see if the problem persists, that should answer whether or not it's an FSUIPC issue
