This is how the real airplane works. And was explained here:

--- Quote ---It's important to note that, opposite to any civilian A/P, the F/A-18 A/P has been designed for speed of operation, not safety or passengers comfort. This means, there's no "preselection" of modes: when an A/P mode is selected, it will immediately engage and it will also turn on the A/P, if not already engaged. Of course, you can always manually turn on/off the A/P, by using the ON/OFF button when in Autopilot Mode.

--- Quote ---After turning everthing in AP mode off and then AP on/off a couple of times it finally gets the altitude unlocked.

Not "a couple of times", just one press is needed to turn AP off.

If have AP off, as soon as you go into BALT mode, it will automatically engage BOTH AP and Altitude Lock, as explained above, and subsequent presses of the AP button, you turn ONLY the AP off and on, but the altitude lock will still be there UNLESS, you select another altitude mode, so, the next time you press BALT, it will again select BOTH altitude lock AND AP, this time with the Altitude lock set at the altitude you were at, when pressing the button the second time.

Ok, I see. I was thinking that the A/P button was like a submenu selection button hence the mistake. Thx for the info.
