MFS2020 many problems, especially for A320 (autopilot broken last problem after USA update)

Most of the updates have broken something in the simulator. This has been happening for several months. The MFS2020 team, we have too many errors and you are afraid that the next update will break down again. Another issue is the A320 model. redesigned, including the cabin largely does not comply with a real cockpit of A320Neo. Bring at least u update with money, only with the request to make a model equivalent to those of Aerosoft.Attention! I bought the simulator, I did not take it from the torrent. Those who do not update the simulator are more advantaged.

I find the 320 AP very hit and miss. I just tried doing a flight from KATL to KORD, the thing fell out of the sky as soon as I took off.

Now flying from KJFK to KLAX and it’s working fine. I’ve tried to troubleshoot, thought I had a solution, but that went out the window with the most recent update.

Due to personal commitments, Sunday afternoon is the only time I really get to spend time flying on this, and I find I spend more time troubleshooting than flying.

I thinking Microsoft need to consider dropping the hammer on Asobo, and put it in the hands of a larger and more experienced developer.

I’m at the point where I’d agree with this. This patch has broken my sim and rendered it useless. I don’t blat about in little GA rigs, I fly the airliners and fly them connected to VATSIM (that official partner if Asobo remember…).

I can’t use vatsim because the autopilot and the airliners are so so broken now post-patch.

I even pushed back from the gate the other day when I logged on having spawned cold and dark, created my flight plan etc…
The second I requested pushback… Crash to Desktop.

When I managed to complete a full flight, I had to fly 75% of it manually because it couldn’t follow the flight plan, couldn’t descend nicely, couldn’t fly the STAR, and couldn’t fly to a selected heading (just wanted to go left and put the nose down), and when I got towards the ILS intercept, it “aligned me” 5nm wide.

I’m beyond words with this patch.

I’m the same…AP all screwed up for me…loaded route in FMS and took off…selected AP and aircraft just did a continuous roll to the left…never followed the route.

Did another flight but this time I never selected a SID…just a direct route…AP worked good…got that crappy sideward roll on A320 when in cruise…but flight was ok…still this whole sim is ■■■■…fed up with it!

KLAS to KSLC just now for me was flawless. I have had problems as well with the auto pilot banking the plane to the left, but that was when I tried a subsequent flight with the game still running. If I reboot the PC after a flight to do another one that seems to clear the problems. In all I find that the A320 has been better after the recent update. Manual landings are much smoother. I’m sure there are a few big bugs that still need to be squashed.

Wow, it’s pretty severe when one has to restart the PC after each flight in order to get things working properly. I’m quite shocked.

Well it is what it is. Maybe it doesn’t happen all the time but when it does that’s what I do

I had this issue over the weekend and found that it only happened if I started cold and dark. Starting on the runway engines running the AP followed the route no issue. There was a workaround that I saw here the other night, was to start c&d, hit escape, save your flight and then load that saved flight. I did this for two flights yesterday and both times the AP followed the route without issue. Hope this helps.

Going to try this today. Thanx for the tip!

Since I wrote that FBW have made two huge fixes to the mod which not only solves the issue of not following a route but also the wing swaying. Download the latest dev version and enjoy.

Thanx Phobos. Wilco!
