Back to FSX after this patch

Ill just keep this simple, My patience is just about going into my reserves. Ive never seen any Playstation, Xbox or even Nintendo games suffer so much with bugs. All those who keep saying be patient , look what we have, be grateful… I think you all need to stop now. This GAME is a colossal failure. Sadly, gamers wont agree with me, But Flight Sim enthusiast will agree with me 100%. Its been almost going into two months…two months…two months of this ( i cant use the adjective). No other Sim has been this horrible.
Im going to fireup FSX and get back on vatsim/ Squawkbox and begin to enjoy flight simming all over again.

What is prompting you to say this, specifically? Maybe the community can help.

I guess this is just your goodbye, so goodbye.

However, if you actually have an issue and want to submit that as a bug you forgot to mention a single thing other than your rant. I understand rants more than most because I throw my hammer several times a day at work, but you don’t say anything of what the issue is.

I can say that this is the most incredible sim I thought I’d ever see in my lifetime. All settings at ultra with insanely smooth everything. Only aircraft I’ve touched so far is the C172 steam gauge but have 76hrs in it in doing a “Around the states” tour.

I already have ATC addons (using my voice) and passenger addons, along with a few payware airports. Life is great at my end of the runway.

I do agree with you, after the previous patch, at least I had 1 aircraft I could fly with. Now, I don’t even have this, the Daher 930 TBM was working fine, but now it exhibits very odd behavior, like climbing up and down like a dolphin during an otherwise stable flight, this ends up in the aircraft over-stressing and crashing. I tried today other aircraft, 5 of them, all of them exhibited odd behavior as well. The 747-8 being the worst of all, crashing right after take off with the AP engaged. Two VFR planes including the C152, suddenly and constantly rolled right mid flight. And what to say about the VFR map. The sim is inoperable for me, I cannot complete a single flight.

TBH i dont have to list or submit my issues, there have been hundreds of posts that have been submitted by enthusiast , and they speak for hundreds of us that have quietly remained patient, fingers crossed and looking to the heavens waiting for some sense of normalcy, however after this patch, its obvious that its just getting worst by the moment.

And ill say if it works for you, im happy. You will enjoy it. However you may be in a small percentage of those who actually had no issues. Make the best of it and enjoy for me and you.

For those having the aircraft stability problems, I know from experience that for me it was caused by using the ‘legacy’ flight mode. Once I changed to ‘modern’ I’ve had no problems with stability.

I also early on had problems with the autopilot, for instance with the C208 and the Beechcraft A36, and found that those problems occured when I had AI traffic and realtime weather cranked up - ie my computer was not capable of handling all that simultaneously.

Yup even the TBM is ruined now. Cool. Thanks. Love these patches.

@SprangerJack I understand you. We paid for a simulator, not for a growing collection of bugs, a game that still in alpha version.

The up and down issue is related, apparently, the the altimeter setting. If you keep it at 29.92 (standard pressure) the altitude hold and settings seem to work. It is a bug but at least doing this makes it more bearable.

I have also spent a few hours in the caravan, and i do like it. However for $100USD for a sim should not just limit me to one airplane. If that was the case, don’t charge that much. So many of these aircraft have so many bugs …not one, not two, almost all are full of bugs. When was the last time u shot a instrument approach in the 172, when was the last time you were able to plan a STAR and actually fly to a IAF. How about a NBD approach or a LOC backcourse? This sim was proposed to be the best there has ever been, If we are talking about visuals and scenery …YES it is. But this is more than just looking at wave caps, finding your house, looking at the clouds ect. …you know the last IPC in did in a full motion sim was done with FSX? I would be fearful to do a IPC with FS2020

You miss my point. This is a “Bug” forum. If you have issues, people will offer advice along the way, but with your “I don’t have to list or submit my issues” comment you continue to show you’re only ranting. Bricamar for instance took the time to write something to help by taking a stab in the dark at what your issue(s) might be.

People list bugs, we then upvote them and they have proven twice now in only one month that they listen and fix things. Not everyone’s computer is the same and this is near perfect for me in flying the C172 steam gauge, but not completely. I have not only experienced complete craziness but practically squeezed my controller in half due to some frustrations. I come, I post or I search and upvote someone’s topic that matches my issue(s). Not only is this sim completely awesome, but so is their forum structure and response. If I had the power I would give everyone a comp like mine. I would give them my computer knowledge to troubleshoot, again like Bricamar has shown that he did in finding the solution was to turn down some settings.

Not saying you, but soooooooo many people are reading people saying they have smooth sailing with a computer way below minimum specs and then getting it with a wrist watch of a computer and then complaining that it won’t do their dishes or find them a date.

I will leave you to your rant and not reply anymore but if you do decide to start a new topic (I am done with this one) and list your issue(s) I and others may help.

You could have kept it simpler and just left.

And i respect your right to do that… Trust me im sure you’ve read post with people that rant, and im no where close to that level. Lets leave it there.

So basically I have no right to speak in a flight sim community that ive helped to build? Wow…amazing

Agreed! FSX is simple with no updates/patches!

You only see the beautiful graphics! This is no longer a sim!

I don’t see the point of posting this particular topic in a forum where we’re trying to report bugs/crashes/glitches. Though I feel your frustration over such a bug-filled game/sim, this rant does not add anything and I think that’s what Turbine is pointing out. Now if you’re too frustrated to list down what in particular you want fixed then maybe you shouldn’t post anything. It does not help anyone.

Can anyone help me out here. Right after this latest patch I can start msfs maybe one out of 5 times. After 5 minutes it CTD’s. Reboot no help. It was fine earlier. How do I start over? If I uninstall am I going to start fresh? I’m at a loss. My system is i9 10850k on Asus Z490h Strix, 32Gb ddr4 3200, RTX 2080ti. Only thing I ever added were liveries in the community folder. I bought ORBX LOWI and LOWW. That’s all. Did my addition of liveries cause this? Should I remove them first before totally uninstalling and reinstalling? So frustrating for this to happen.
Oh - I did add the Japan pack. Could that be a culprit??

How?? What is ruined? It seems fine to me? I’m only asking. What is it that is not working so we can ask for a fix?
