There is now code in the BMS exe series that should fix the infamous “pitch up on landing after
using autopilot during flight” bug. This bug would only happen in SP3 if you got the AP into pitch
hold mode, which wasn’t easy since you’d have to cycle the left AP switch at least once all the
way around to ATT HLD before attempting to put the right (pitch) switch into ATT HLD or it
wouldn’t engage that pitch hold mode. By the way, this bug also affected in-flight operations if
after pitch hold mode was entered and left you subsequently allowed speed to decay and
commanded higher angles of attack (say when you are in a turning fight and incautiously let your
jet fall well, well below corner); in this case you would have seen the jet snap into a deep stall as
the bug took effect.
