Getting tired... too many issues to report

I’m feeling very tired as well, regardless of the fact that I can enjoy much of the sim. This last update was pretty large, and the release notes show a lot of attention to the airliners. Yet, today I fired up the 747, created a flight plan from Tucson to San Diego and all went well for a while. Then after final descent to 2000’ the ATC never issued me a final approach- I just continued endlessly west over the ocean. So, I figured “OK, lets just turn around and do a VFR landing.” Well, as soon as I turned the AP off the plane wanted to bank severely. I finally straightened it out and completed a turn to approach RWY 9,. Then I tried turning off SPEED, or clicking HDG, or turning off NAV. The text said "Disengage HDG, or “Disengage Speed”, etc. but although I clicked on them, the indicator lights never went off. It seemed like most AP functions went haywire. ATC never did clear me for landing either.

How frustrating, and more annoying because the release notes made it sound like a lot of attention had been given to the big jets. IMHO, they are still not useable. After these many months and these many Sim Updates, this is inexcusable. Even FS9, 17 years old, worked flawlessly in this regard. Yet, we still get World Updates…more scenery, better scenery (the scenery has never been the weak point of FS2020!!) while obvious and crucial Flight Sim necessities go unfixed.
