Aircraft is frozen when beginning a flight in the air

Hopefully this is the correct section. It appears no one else has had this issue yet.

This issue first appeared after WU7, though not immediately.

When loading in either Landing Challenges, or Flights initiated by selecting only arrival at an airport (so that the airplane spawns in the air on final), the sim loads with the airplane frozen. Its similar to live pause, in that sound continues, and weather appears to move correctly, but the airplane is frozen in space. Additionally, nothing in the airplane (any switches, toggles, levers, buttons etc) will react to input from mouse or equipment.

This happens with both default and addon aircraft, default and addon landing challenges, default and addon liveries.

Interestingly, it doesn’t happen when I load saved flights (some of which were saved on short final).

I have also tried uninstalling (renaming) my community folder, though I hadn’t added any new mods or addons prior to the issue starting.

I’m on Steam/PC

Thanks

I just did all the landing challenges two days ago and didn’t experience this at all.

Yesterday, I wanted to test my Enhanced Night Lighting packages with HDR off, so I spawned a flight in the middle of the San Francisco Bay, with no issues.

I don’t use any mods (Xbox) outside of the Marketplace.

Have you picked up any that live in your community folder that could be giving you grief?

I don’t think so. I probably need to do a more thorough uninstall, but in theory I’ve been able to replicate the issue with an empty community folder.

I didnt really expect it to be related to WU7, but it’s good to know that you’re not currently experiencing it, thanks.
