I turned off all visual assistances and this blue frames still there marking the path I should fly by. I only tried in career mode, so maybe ut has solething to do with it.

Hi, I just ran into these after filing and IFR flight plan for the first time using the cute little note pad. Sucker led me right down the ILS at SFO… I think when I filed the plan I turned everything on…

I was able to reproduce this. When the taxi ribbon is enabled, the flight path is visible regardless of its own setting. When taxi ribbon is disabled and the flight path is disabled, the flight path is not visible.

Can anyone confirm if this is only being experienced in career mode and not in free flight?

I am not seeing it in free flight, at all.

Everything is turned off and remains off.

Career Mode is another matter…

I have the issue in Free Flight mode (have to disable Taxi Ribbon to remove the flight path gates).

Exactly the same for me.

Thank you for the bug report.

The curernt workaround is to disable both the taxi ribbons and the fligh path in order to high the flight path in free flight.

As another workaround, try binding a key or button to the Toggle Visual Assistances Display command. This is mapped to the Left Stick (press down) on the gamepad by default.

Is there a way to have these gates and ribbons off in career mode? As the above does not change it there.

Agree, that’s what I was looking for.

I haven’t checked today but I restarted a mission (from within the mission) and the blue gates and ribbons were gone and only the hold short boxes were there. This was for the following missions I did as well.

Made it a lot more realistic and the Flightseeing missions were more enjoyable. Your score taxing takes a big hit as it usually gives you stupid directions anyway.

I’ll test it again later today to see if it was just a fluke but give it a shot.

Can confirm, mine are now off except the hold short boxes in career mode. Not sure the reason, if it was turning them back on/off or restarting a mission inside the mission itself (I think this might have something to do with it because it would not let me do any radio coms and I had to exit out completely).

Yes, this works for career mode:

Bind a key or button to the Toggle Visual Assistances Display command. This is mapped to the Left Stick (press down) on the gamepad by default.

Haven’t tried turning off Taxi path yet, but I definitely see the Flight Path in Free Flight, even when turned off in Settings

This is exactly it! I forgot I reset my Xbox controller back to default to try and get the pin points back for pre flights and it is the same keybind! I now can hit it to see the stupid taxi path it wants and then turn it right back off.

Cheers!!
