"AI Pilot" unable to land and crashing, off angle approach, too low, attempts to takeoff after landing etc

“AI Pilot” mode is useless… I put it on and wanted to sit by the window and enjoy a night landing as passenger but each time it crashes horribly gone awry like a zombie apologcryzpe movie gone wrong its an absolute joke but not even the funny kind…

Be it 747, Airbus or the 787, same result and disaster outcomes each and every time…

On some landings it will be offset the runway center line by 30 degrees, I thought it was the heading indicator but the AI Pilot not only won’t correct it, it won’t allow me to correct it either, so even after I turn it off to press D and turn it back on, it still approaches the runway not centered by at a dramatic angle and hits buildings and other things right on landing…

Other times it will be way too low and CFIT itself… It won’t let me press B while the AI Pilot is on, so I turn it off to press B to fix the altimeter issues etc then turn AI Pilot back on but it will still land thousands of feet before the runway threshold, hitting cars and trees…

Other times even after it lands for a few seconds, it will force engines to 100% and take off right away, but then it will pitch down and then try to take off again, worse than the real life Boeing 737 MCAS bug!

Then there is the issue that I live in the DFW metroplex, a major area in the US/World, as its home to both headquarters of American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, with KDAL being SWA HQ and central hub and DKFW being AA’s central hub…

Now I fly to Dallas, there is no realistic skyline, none of the buildings are there… the iconic Reunion tower (the one that looks like the black ball etc) which has been in every single version of Flight Simulator since 1995 now is nonexistent and does not exists and cannot be seen in downtown Dallas! It is also missing all the other iconic buildings in Dallas as well!

I taxi in the DFW airport, guess what? there are cars, trucks, 18 wheelers literally bumping into me crossing the taxiway as I’m taxing from one part of the airport to another, and this is the major taxi where its on a bridge and the cars traffic goes underneath it… Even in the FSX and P3D this sort of nonsense never happened before at DFW!

What is going on?

Why is the SDK documentation only 10 to 15% completed? where is the rest 85% to 90%?

Same here regarding the AI pilot. I haven’t tried the big iron jets yet - only flying with the training C-152, whenever it tries to land it is completely off the centerline and 90% if not 99% of landing attempts are going around.. Plenty of issues during take off as well. Heading and altitude bug reset is also impossible when AI is controlling the aircraft, which forces me to disangage it and do it manually. Sad really as I live in Greece and want to enjoy the beatiful scenary as a passenger but no - I got to get the zombie experience as well :frowning:
I hope this issue(s) will eventually get ironed out as patches & updates start to slowly roll out. Fingers crossed :slight_smile:

Well i does not work in the airliners right now. I was flying the A 320, the 787 and the 747. All of them are doing wierd things in the final aproach. I had the A 320 for example go into overspeed and trying to land with 280 knots. The 787 was aproaching the airport, then turned around and flew in the opposite direction. The 747 tried something like a barrel role and crashed.
