Autopilot does not seem to take crosswind in to account in VOR and LOC mode

The autopilot does not seem to take crosswind in to account when flying in VOR and LOC mode, however in INS mode it does. In this screenshot I have a 100 kt crosswind, with the wind coming from 270 degrees. You can see that the autopilot is flying a heading corresponding to the inbound course on the VOR rather than maintaining a wind correction angle and will over time get further and further away from the radial. If i switch over to INS navigation and fly to the same VOR using INS it will apply a wind correction angle and follow the inbound course correctly.
