I was really proud of myself . . . for about 5 minutes. After weeks of preparation and work, I finally reached the point where my computer build, hardware, and software (MSFS 2020) were happy with one another . . . or so I thought.
I dutifully began Flight Training, Lesson 1 full of confidence. That is until the “Lesson” refused to take the left (or any other) mouse click to “lock the clock knob.”
Tried restarting the lesson, MSFS, etc. Same thing.
Until I can “lock the clock knob,” LESSON OVER.
Any suggestions? Do similar things happen throughout the training lessons?
Think I read one lesson where even if one lands perfectly the trainer says FAILED!
I’ve looked at many. One of the “clues” is that MSFS can be fussy as to which number keys you use. I finally managed to get by lessons 1 and 2 but 3 is giving me a fit. This is the lesson where one puts the pitch lines where directed by the “teacher.” Problem is, it tells you to put the cruise indicator on the horizon and hold it there for 20 seconds. As soon as the indication hits the horizon, the screen fades to black, stays black for about 3 seconds, then comes back on with the aircraft in a very steep upward pitch. Nearly impossible to stabilize the aircraft so the ESC key is the only way out. Does this over and over.
I’m having the same issue, except when I change my view in the cockpit, then it tells me to save the view then go back to pilot view by pressing 3.
I can press 3 until I’m blue in the face, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING has any effect on it. I have started the lessons over several times now and still gets stuck at this exact spot every time. I pressed the 3 at the top of the keyboard, and also on the keypad. I tried turning on the Num Lock and tried turning it off.
Seriously, is this thing a Beta or what? Between this and constant CTD, getting so sick of so many bugs! Ridiculous that we paid full price for a non-working piece of software. Couldn’t be more disappointed.
