Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, The 737 goes into a severe dive which is 99% of the time impossible to recover. The mission has to be restarted or aborted to avoid reputation penelties and if crashed, multi million repair bill.

• If crashed, the insurance payout is not credited to the account and it is deducted instead.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes. It doesn’t happen everytime but ‘skip to descent’ sometimes puts you on final at cruise speed which is no bueno in a CJ4.
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Happens with multiple aircraft. Cessna CJ4 overspeed catastrophic failure after skip to descent. No chance to react. Aircraft destroyed.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Very frustrating. Yes, the same issue happens over and over with different aircraft and different missions. I have no idea why you chose to release this without ever having had anyone test it first.

Same although I can survive the event if I set sim rate to minimum before ALT-N.
What I saw may help someone solve this. Seems to be that there are three issues here - one is the point on plan that ALT-N skips to; the second is that coming out of skip to descent the configuration is making incorrect assumptions about the approach and aircraft; the third is that the descent profiles are way too steep.
Before ALT-N was at cruise FL360; Mach .72, on autopilot and at vnav, lnav, etc. all good.
Immediately post-skip:
Airspeed 100KT
Altitude FL360
Flaps 15
Speedbrake armed
Engines idle
AT, AP still on
attempted to increase thrust - nothing until I turned off AT
manually disengaged AP and began stall recovery (max thrust, nose down, etc.)
Put sim rate back to normal
managed to recover at about FL280 (also retracted flaps as airspeed increased)
Was told by ATC to climb back to FL360
went back to FL360 - VNAV, LNAV no longer functional
A few minutes later (before landing) my VR froze; tried leaving VR but the atc window covered the entire screen and could not be closed (I saw someone else reported that issue as well)
had a similar case yesterday, cannot remember the mission, where skipping brought me right into a restricted airspace, resulting in an aviator violation
More data points - medium cargo mission in caravan - skip to descent ends up with flaps down and over speed (ding) and landing lights off below 10,000 (ding).
