Has anyone with access to the beta has tested it yet? We on ps5 can not participate in the beta: Is it going to be fixed in SU5? I desperately hope for it, as the constant yelling “autothrottle” drives me crazy.

Added the vision jet as tag to the opening post, since it is affected too.
I think most aircraft are affected by this bug. The only ones I haven’t had issues with are the Airbuses.
Airbuses have other heavily issues affecting their playability. But this autothrottle issue is a gamebreaker, as you can not rely on you plane doing what it is supposed to do, while you set up other things in the plane (e.g. looking for an alternate destination etc.)
Agree 100%. This is true with many planes but in particular with the PILATUS PC-12. It should be checked together with the PFD or MFD resetting (turn off and then on) very often during a flight of 2 hours it happens 5-10 times.

I have a similar problem not with the vision jet it works fine for me and the Cessna 172 but I was doing a first time mission with the Airbus a330-300PR and for some reason the autothrottle kept bugging out I’m on PS5 by the way and I tried a bunch of things and I had it working for like 5 minutes and then it just crashed out again also the autopilot altitude didn’t work either it just kept climbing or descending Boeing 737 worked completely fine no issues

Autothrottle on the 737 is also affected for me but it happens not as often as in the pc 12 or the cessna citation longitude.

The most annoying part is definitely being stuck at the desk. If the autothrottle bugs out and disconnects for even a minute, you come back to a crashed plane. It would be heaven to just set it and actually trust it for once. Between that and the avionics crashing, it’s been such a headache. We’ve been dealing with this for over two months now, but I saw both bugs are finally logged, so hopefully SU5 fixes them.
Unfortunately the ps5 does not participate in the beta, so we Ps5 players have to rely on the other testers. I am afraid, that this is prioritized low. I hope, that the devs see how gamebreaking those two bugs (avionics crashes & autopilots disconnecting) are. Maybe they are tied to eachother ?! Who knows…. Yet I saw no fix in the su5 beta patchnotes.

I noticed a few PS5 fixes tucked away in the notes, but it looks like they didn’t actually address the avionics or autothrottle bugs, which leaves us pretty much in the dark about everything else. It’s a bit frustrating since we’re running on a completely different system compared to Xbox and PC, so honestly, God only knows what to expect at this point. Hopefully, we get some real clarity on those core systems soon so we aren’t just left guessing.

Exactly… I am still puzzled, what to expect from SU5. For example today for me the game hardcrashed twice upon touchdown and braking after landing in careermode… i am very puzzled about the state of the game in total.
These issues (esp. Avionics and autothrust) are so bad, why don’t we get any notice or info on that for months? Don’t we deserve any info?
I’ve encountered this issue as well. It occurs multiple times in flight with the Vision Jet, PC-12, and PC-24. It is typically preceded by one or both the PFD/MFD going into what appears to be a reset/reinitialize mode where the screens either go dark or revert to the initial startup phase with the red X’s in the info fields and the keep wings level message.

Sometimes it happens ar the same time with avionics crashes, sometimes it happens without displays goimg dark/through reset.

Bought in careermode the pc-24. Yes, it is also affected, i can confirm that.
