FS4 AP Approach problem

[Harold A. Climer]

When I use the Cessna Caravan and other planes and I use ILS
approach and follow instructions for staying at a certain altitude,
and heading until the localizer needles are lined up and then switch
to the APR button the plane goes haywire and dives for the ground. Is
this a known problem. Both needles are dead center when this happens.

Try switching on the APR before the needles line up. That way the sim has
enough time to make the intercept.
