MSFS 2020 747 autopilot is a mess

the autopilot of 747-8 is a mess, i tried flying today it constantly pitches the airplane up and down , in FSX i could remedy this in some addons by selecting VSpeeds instead of VNAV , but it does not work in FS2020, even at cruise it constantly pitches the airplane up and down and it gets worse with time , more extreme pitch angles, so i don't know what's going on but i have yet to fly a normal flight from point A to B in either 787 or 747 due one issue or other.Plus the Pause at top of descend in FMC feels like it's copied from PMDG 747 and it does not work also. only A320 worked for me.

MSFS2020 is now only a GA flight GAME for me. PMDG says that they are not going to be able to release an aircraft for MSFS2020 until maybe late 4th Quarter in 2021. I have not tried any of the commercial stuff as yet. I cannot get my Precision Flight Throttle to work even with the FSUIPC7. Is there going to be winter textures? I thought it was only summer all the time.

Shame, because winter is coming and FS2020 looks great. I just have a hard time giving up the properly functioning toliss in x-plane to fight the beta version of FS2020.
The A320 is the only aircraft that can get from point A to B but at high altitude airports it does not work, it requires 10 degrees nose down atitude at only 140 knots i will attach a pic here, so flight dynamics are a mess, the FMC part isn't fully operational there is no way to see how much distance is remaining to destination to calculate Decent point, i was stuck waiting for ATC to tell me to descent. Only the route entering part which is entered automatically makes a difference to flight things like entering flaps makes no difference.Other than fancy scenery landing challenges and bush trips to be flown manually this sim is completely useless.I will be waiting for updates this month or months after that until they fix the autopilot at least to use this sim for VA flying.
