Description of the issue:
Since the SU4B update, two recurring issues have appeared:
-
The HUD randomly reappears after backing out of in-game menus (such as pause, settings, or ATC). This happens even when flying aircraft without a HUD or when it was previously disabled.
-
Audio stuttering and crackling occurs intermittently during flight, most noticeable after a few minutes in the cockpit or when switching views.
These issues were not present before SU4B and occur consistently across multiple aircraft and locations, both default and add-on.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE:
Intermittent — occurs almost every session after opening and closing in-game menus.
REPRODUCTION STEPS:
-
Launch Microsoft Flight Simulator (SU4B).
-
Start a flight in any aircraft (e.g., A320neo).
-
Open the pause or settings menu, then return to the cockpit.
-
Observe that the HUD may appear unexpectedly.
-
Continue flying — audio stutters begin to occur intermittently.
