Since FS2024 came out, i have only completed one flight, a local flight from Chicago Midway to downtown and to KPWK, Chicago Executive; a 20 minute flight. Other than that, the sim has constant CTD’s, even when just moving around in the menu or programming controls. It really is unplayable and really sad.
The pre-release video they played was made with clever cinematography rather than in-game. Heck, i cant even get my camera to be behind my character’s shoulder , like they show in the videos. I cant even get it to run.
I am just flabbergasted at how many bugs there are in the sim. If Asobo does not start fixing the essentials soon, specially CTD’s, there will be major defections.
- Fix stability issues, CTD’s on an emergency basis. Specially the dreaded ‘out of memory’ CTD, the 0xc00005 one.
- Fix the bugs in the essential, most popular aircraft. [For example, i paid extra $$$ for the
Aviator edition for the Steam gauge C172, and it is completely broken]. - Then work on the community wish list/ bug list : [here are some of my pet peeves]-
a] Trees are everywhere including where they shouldnt be, and way too many conifers.
b] Fly By view and Chase view. This has been an ‘ask’ from day one of FS2020!
c] Water is too mirror-like and smooth .
d] ATC menu is broken, specially voicing. ATC starts replying to you, before you even
complete your request, and speak over you.
e] In VR, the mouse does not click on the knobs or buttons.
f] Post-flight, implement the pilot being able to place the chocks, pitot covers, etc back
before tying down and securing the plane
