I put together a list. This may not be comprehensive, but there are over 90 bug reports in this list that have been closed as “Won’t fix.”
There’s a developer stream coming up on November 27. If you’re curious to know why these have been closed, feel free to submit a question asking about a specific bug report (like, ‘Why did the drone roll bug get closed?’), or include a link to this post and ask why so many bugs have been closed as “won’t fix.” (Be respectful in your tone or they might throw out the question.) I’m sure the dev stream will be focused on MSFS 2024, but maybe they’ll entertain a few questions about 2020. And if not, ask about them in the next developer stream after that. If you think about all the people who took the time to log these bug reports and comment on these bugs, only to have them closed, I think we all deserve an answer on this.
Note to the current moderators: Yes, this list is long. I tried enclosing the list in [detail] markdown, but the bug reports only showed up as URLs when I did that.
List is in chronological order from when the bug report was created (oldest first):
Was flying to Jeffco in Denver and the tower was calling itself Detroit Metro
[MODERATOR EDIT: The airport is no longer being called Detroit Metro. But instead, it has no name at all.]
If I turn off the in-game Music it still always comes on for a few seconds when launching the game and then stops abruptly. Then it reappears maybe once or twice for just a second and then it’s properly off.
Hello there…
Please fix this Glitch on LICC airport. (Water on the ground)
[2020.09.26-14.45]
Thanks for your attention.
This is an issue with almost all default airports in this sim and infact all 3rd party airport addons being released are coming with this issue.!!!
The taxiway centreline and edge lights are completely disoriented and arranged in a random fashion . I mean some of them are too closely spaced while some are too far apart. Some of them even don’t follow the taxiway centre line as well. Sometimes blue edge lights are placed on taxiway centreline and vice-versa. These lights are a complete mess.
Be…
Airport Building Across taxiway L ( Should be a Pax Skywalk above the taxiway) this effectively stops you using taxiway L in an easterly direction from North Terminal. In addition the South and North Terminals are not rendered high enough. There are also 2 High Level Control Towers only the easterly one is high level. Some of the Jetways are not attached to buildings.
This has been the case for quite awhile and apparent at many airports. I have seen this often at US, non-major hub airports. The general hangar type should be in the 15-30 foot (5-10m) height range. What I am seeing in many areas is hangars about 20m high. This could be a units issue in your building config file for this type. Thank you for your great work. Example here: KBZN (notice appropriate hangars in the distance.) [Capture]
I noticed the first wheel pair of the rear gear will lift of the ground even before Vr. (Around 90 knots)
While the second wheel pair gets pushed into the ground.
Looks strange, I think this would not be the case in real life : https://youtu.be/85pjylEh194?t=30
(all 4 wheels touch the ground even after the front wheel lift off)

The DA62 consumes JetA1 and not Avgas.
In this game JetA1 has a density of 0.80kg/l with Avgas at 0.72kg/litre.
However in the weight and balance section for this aircraft the fuel density is incorrectly pertaining as to Avgas rather than the JetA1 which it uses. Fuel weight is therefore lighter than it should be by around 10%.
If i load a flight on the night, only on the runway there are black lines to see (standard scenery from the world), I dont know maybe my FS settings too low or bug ? I use FBWa320 mod

In mass and balance the weight of a 200 litre fuel load is incorrectly given as 142kg.
The DA62 uses a diesel engine running on JetA1, therefore fuel density should be 0.8kg/litre just like the A320Neo, Dreamliner and King Air 350.
This would give a weight of 160kg for a 200l fuel load. This 18kg anomaly is the weight of a check-in luggage, quite significant for such a small aircraft.
