At the end of the day, I agree with you. Cheers! It’s a shame things are this way. I am tired of them breaking.

I don’t really care who is ultimately more at fault. When both sides are profiting from the transaction, they both hold a degree of responsibility.
Asobo are knowingly allowing broken stuff to be sold in their store and doing nothing about it, and Carenado are knowingly selling broken stuff in Asobo’s store and blaming Asobo for the issues.

Opening the window also causes CTD on my plane anyway

Numbers can be found in the performance tables PDF supplied by Carenado, in the documentation folder found at this location (on my setup);

I had a nice little flight from KPAN to KSDL with the PA44 after updating today. I didn’t click the sun visors or aircraft windows because I read that will CTD, but everything else seemed to work nicely. I used the AP in heading, nav, alt, and vs mode and all worked well. I followed the checklists from startup to shutdown without issue. Overall I think this is a great twin trainer. I’m sure the kinks will get sorted out eventually but at this time they’re not keeping me from enjoying it.

Me too. I did a few flights around the updated Monument Valley region. It handles very well.

I can flip the visors with impunity it seems. All the knobs I tried worked fine.
Edit: visors stopped working now… maybe after plane is in motion?
Opening the window caused a CTD
Last I checked the pressure altitude knob also CTD
Oh, interesting. I didn’t try the pressure alt knob because I always just hit the “B” key. Good to know to avoid that too for now.
Not the barometer knob, but the knob on the bottom right of the airspeed indicator. I think it’s adjusted to show TAS? Sorry I don’t know its official name.
Ah, gotcha. Now I understand. Well, I won’t click that one either!
Disabling de AP on final produces a nose dive almost fatal, like the trim going mad.

Did you have your trim control binded to an analog axis?
i have order it yesterday after the update. My first flight was just a short one. maybe about 30min. I have tryed out to open the window (on Ground) and it was no problem. also the sunnshields ar working without any problem. I also had no problems with anithing else in the airplane so far. So it was a realy nice flight in a realy nice airplane.
That was not my experience last night. I did some flights around Monument Valley, and it I didn’t notice any difference in its handling at all. I also didn’t notice anything strange with the AP, other than the usual slightly more aggressive than necessary rolls. I was tracking a radial from a VOR maybe 30 miles away, and a single degree change led to quite aggressive rolls either side. But no issues with verticality.
I flew the following route, as I was testing something VOR related:
KFMN CEZ UT25
I flew direct up to CEZ, then flew 241° from CEZ down to Monument Valley.
The Seminole is not known ice certified and has no anti-ice systems.
You can fly it in winter temperatures - just not in icing conditions. Related, but not causal. We taught in mine for years in the northeast US with snowy winters. No precip, clear of clouds or sunny day - good to go. Same with any non-known ice certified aircraft.

Yes I found that opening the pilot’s latch window causes immediate CDT - I have submitted a Zendesk ticket for this - could you do this too?

I just had a look at the Carenado Twitter feed, and I saw one comment regarding a CTD for this aircraft, but no response from them as yet.

Seems every update causes problems for some people, and not for others. I’ve had no problem at all with previous updates, just this one, this week. And no CTD’s until now.
Its going to be a great sim one of these days, just hope I live long enough to see it!

I had no problem with the left side flap, that caused crashes. I think when I get home, instead of setting up some flight, I’ll try the visor crash thing on mine.
Were there other crashes, other than the DME rotary? I assume that these errors might briefly be written to the developer console. Is there any way of logging that output to a file outside the sim?
No, I don’t and it didn’t happened before the update.
