Description of the issue: The AI Autopilot Assist is broken, it may fly but it can’t land to save its life. It hasn’t always been this way it’s gotten worse with updates
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Every single time I use it, it crashes or it will just completely ignore my flight path and it will fly by the airport
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
Set a flight, for the sake of this I did BIKF to EGPH
Once you get the plane off the ground click the left thumbstick to enable AI Autopilot Assist
Let the plane fly and do it’s thing, when it comes to landing it will either crash land or just completely ignore where you want it to land and just keep flying like it’s got a mind of it’s own
YOUR SETTINGS
If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.
What peripherals are you using: Xbox with Razer Wolverine V2 controller
MEDIA
Please add a screenshot or video of the issue occurring. So you want video or a screenshot of this happening? That’s cool how many of these things do you want because I have 7 of them, yes you read correctly 7, here’s my latest 3:
if your so incline to look at all of them don’t worry I got you you can find them on my MSFS 2020 playlist:
Okay so I’ve noticed something since the last flight (the one at the top of the list above things) what I noticed is that the landing path never showed up for the plane, but in the newest video (found on channel and in playlist as it wasn’t ready at the time of me posting this) the latest video the landing path finally did appear and AI Autopilot was able to land the plane, he was in a different plane he was flying the F22 Raptor during the latest video, I don’t know if planes have anything to do with it. I honestly have no real reason to point out what could have been the factor except that like I said the landing path showed up, so perhaps that should be looked into how often does the landing path showup, not only that but what are the landing path triggers for it to show up
Moved to User Support Hub since your videos are showing 3rd party aircraft.
Are you able to replicate with 1st party aircraft ?
I am not familiar with the FS2020 autopilot assist functionality, so not sure if it is programmed to automatically and safely land the aircraft.
Hopefully users with knowledge of this functionality will provide some feedback.
I get the reason for the forum move although I think this is more of an in game thing not necessarily a 3rd party aircraft thing because the landing path never showed up with any of those previous videos however in my last video also using 3rd party aircraft the landing path actually showed up allowing the ai to land: MSFS2020 - Fly With Me From: Keflavik, Iceland to Edinburgh, Scotland
