Ever since I upgraded to the new 9.2.4 release I am having issues with the autopilot capturing the hold. The departure procedure from my home airport is to climb over the airport in a shuttle over the VOR. I always program this shuttle climb hold as the first leg of my flight plan in the FMS. After takeoff I hand fly towards the VOR and then engage the DFC100. The system used to capture the hold automatically and the DFC100 would climb to the necessary altitude. Now even though I press NAV on the DFC100 and the hold is in Magenta on the FMS, the plane flies straight through the hold. I even press NAV twice to ensure I am not in HDG mode and yet it will not capture the HOLD. I am forced to do this manually and when I do press NAV in the hold the system wants to jump to the next let of the flight plan. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour and is there a reason this behaviour changed with the new software release?

Thanks, John
