With every new patch, our attention draws to new issues. I am bringing up an original bug, that was in 1.7.3. Yes, I’ve already raised a Zendesk ticket a week after release and have heard nothing. I use the sim mostly for long-haul flights and for me, the Load/Save function is a must as I typically encounter issues along the way (either sim bug or pilot error). Without this feature working properly, its frustrating to complete a full LH flight.
Here is the issue: The load/save function does not load the state of the aircraft in its original state. It resets the Autopilot settings and the FMC. If you’re in mid-flight or turning final, loading a saved flight to repeat the landing or whatever flight phase is pretty much useless.
I get that I’ve paid of a WIP product and I can tolerate workarounds like the 787 on square wheels during taxi, unforgiving glideslope intercepts, quirky AP and autoland, and gaps like default airports with no taxi lights, gate numbers and apron lighting, etc, but not being able to load a saved flight in its original flight configuration during a LH route is pretty frustrating.
Hope I’m not alone here and would like to get enough interest and vote to make it to the official bug list for Asobo. Anyone feel the same?
