When I made my tests, I found that if I took the time to trim the plane and fly her correctly, setting myself a steady course, and after that engaging the autopilot to the desired course (with the famous offset 5-6 degrees) the wobbling takes 2-3 cycles and its amplitude seems realistic to me.

But if you engage off trim, then you have a lot o wobbling.

Before I came to that conclussion, in my tests I tried too to "help" the auto course with my inputs, but that was not a solution.

Oh, and BTW, when I said trim, I am including the engine, so is important first to know howto fly the plane by hand in its correct settings; the more important ones:


Best cruise: ATA 1.2 RPM 2200 -> IAS = 285 km/h
Economical cruise: ATA 1.2 RPM 2100
Optimal bombing: ATA 1.0 RPM 2200, alt=3000m, compressor stage II -> IAS =250 km/h

This is for He-111 H with Jumo engines, as per the manual and I found correctly modelled.

So first put in parameters your engine, then you trim her, let the plane settle at level flight, and once you have it steady, set that course (with the offset), engage the auto and watch her.

So appart of the commented features needed for the bombardier, I am happy with the way the modelled it. of course not agaisnt having an option for those who want the things easier.

Hope it helps.
