Hi sanal nice to meet you here :)

I was just stopping by to look for a solution to this problem but apparently there isn't one until CS fixes their code.   The PAX are getting alarmed by the flailing of the airplane as I try and try to get the CWS logic to release its grip on the pitch attitude.  Then suddenly it releases, then seizes up again, etc etc.  For a while it seems to work and then just when you decide to trust it -- "Sir you've busted tour altitude again, your assigned altitude is 8,000 feet" while you're battling with the yoke to get to to descend...even a little bit...and you finally switch it off and hand fly!

This might be all right for casual jaunts around the airport but when you're trying to provide a professional ride to your paying guests, the only way to fly this thing smoothly is to only use the autopilot to hold altitude and fly the magenta line at cruise.  

Other than that, on climb and descent, hand fly it.  Otherwise the autopilot will make your life one long frustration and your PAX will run out of ink filling out complaint cards to your airline's management.

Luckily, though, this is a nice bird to hand fly.
