Yes my issues are very much happening with autopilot engaged. This one really is a huge bug for us Xbox controller users. I do worry that there are so many bugs (such as this one) that might go under Asobo’s radar because before this, I hadn’t seen a single other post about it. But fixing it is crucial to be able to play.
There are other annoying bugs for Xbox too. The EFB is virtually unusable. My last used toolbar option, e.g. the camera panel pops back up on screen after exiting cursor mode and blocks my view. My tiller turning occasionally locks on one side for no apparent reason leaving me only able to steer forwards (and yes I do have the rudder controls tiller option ticked). My whole sim freezes every time I exit a free flight forcing me to dashboard. I have no option to turn off ground aircraft traffic. Multiplayer doesn’t work and everyone vanishes after a couple minutes of loading in. And the graphics on Xbox… where to even start. In a Cessna they look beautiful. In any sort of airliner, the ground is just completely blurred. Ground objects and people are just blobs. It looks 1000% worse than 2020 ever did.
The sim has so much potential and despite the bugs and issues I am enjoying it. But my god does it need a lot of work on Xbox.
