It looks like I've not properly understood your previous question, I will refer to online translator

Your test is proper but it’s the wrong plane. You tested it on carendo arrow 3 but the problem is with the JustFlight arrow 3: https://www.justflight.com/product/pa-2 ... -simulator

What autopilot does the JF Arrow use. If it’s the MSFS KAP 140 that could be the source of the issue. A recent sim update messed with its behaviour somewhat.

Well the translator didn't help either
At first VS is Vertical Speed, so in feets per minute, this is not a target altitude, where you requested to set VS +500 and an altitude above this. This doesn't make sense

Indeed if we're at an altitude N fts and set VS +600 we will not see properly if we request N+100fts, so I was taking off at almost MSL and climbing to 3500 fts, so the testing was enough and clear in my case, not saying for the JustFlight indeed

Eventually, we have to set at first target altitude on the G5 then set VS in either way, for me I set VS using the Carenado Autopilot in the virtual cockpit

I will let room for Tony's answer, as I have to go outside for the whole day, sorry

Yes I understand. but in the justflight arrow, you set a target altitude, put VS to +500, and when it gets to target altitude (2,000 ft for example) it keeps flying at +500 VS. It does not level off at 2,000 feet and stop climbing. So I am trying to figure out if it is a JustFlight Arrow issue and is not capable of this type of autopilot, or if it is something else.

If you're using RealityXP then it is important to check their settings menu. It requires certain settings to communicate all the data to the simulator in the right manner.
All the autopilot stuff is handled in the flight simulator itself. It might be that they have their own configurations, but that's always something in the simulator itself.

Its MSFS...so I am using TDS GTN, but that has nothing to do with the G5's or the JustFlight Arrow's Autopilot

Have you spoken to justflight or whoever made the thing ?
