If you use SHIFT+C to enter the plane after spawning at an airport the windscreen cover is still on the plane.

You canā€™t remove the engine covers from the left side of the plane. If you click on it the baggage door opens and closes instead.

You canā€™t remove the tiedown from the left side of the plane, there doesnā€™t appear to be any click spot for it. You have to move to the right (co-pilot) side of the plane to do it.

You canā€™t open the door to the cabin from outside until you walk right up to the door and press your nose against it.

In landing challenges, my engines are stuck at full power, even when i can see my throttle input responding on the lever in the virtual cockpit. In free flight it works as expected.

The PFD altimeter seems to be reporting AGL and not MSL, almost like its acting like a radio alt, my test was spawning in at KTEX, runway elevation is around 9000 feet, the plane showed it at 0 feet. Stby altimeter works as expected So far the only plane to have this behavior for me

The default livery flickers.

When starting the engines with the MFDs in DISPATCH mode you donā€™t see any engine indications:

  1. Start in a cold and dark plane
  2. Turn on the main battery switch
  3. Set the avionics to DISPATCH
  4. Press the engine starter button for the left engine
  5. Press the run button for the left engine

Result: No movement on the MFD for N2 or N1, but you can hear the engine starting up.
Expected result: N2 and N1 show progress.

If you switch the avionics to ON the displays change and youā€™ll see the engines starting up.

When sitting in a cold and dark plane you can hear fan noise from electronics somewhere. Since the plane is cold and dark it should be silent.

All the liveries flicker when you are outside looking at the plane.

If you set a custom tail number for the plane it isnā€™t shown on the plate inside the cockpit.

When you open the boarding door the livery paints across the opening instead of moving with the door.

I also have this problem

Bring back the ā– ā– ā– ā–  charts and airport overlays to the avionics and not another EFB

Like others already mentioned, I noticed the textures flicker in the external view.

The ground power is not available when parked on the stand, unlike FS2020. Requesting it through in game ATC also does nothing.

Trying to change the brightness of the CDU displays doesnā€™t work, and the FO CDU display is stuck at max brightness.

Simbrief integration is not present anymore.

Autopilot pitch response needs to be toned down. At present, commanded pitch changes (altitude captures, speed changes in FLCH, VS changes in climb/descent) are too abrupt and would result in extreme discomfort for passengers and crew.

What happened to this plane? It was my favourite in 2020. Now it looks like a toy from within the cockpit?!

Came here from the 737-MAX8 because it was nothing but CTDā€™s.

Going through startup in the CJ4 and the moment I selected POS INIT on the FMS, instant freeze and CTD.

This is going greatā€¦

Simbrief integration is not present anymore.

This is expected. From the Working Title Discord when I asked about this:

Thereā€™s now a standardized route sync API in the sim so any particular provider (EFB, SimBrief, Navigraph, other EFB apps, etc) can implement it and developers donā€™t need to make customized code in their aircraft for each thing they want to support

So basically Navigraph will have to add it.

The BRT/DIM buttons on the co-pilot side flicker constantly.

When you are sitting cold and dark you can hear a constant squeaking from what sounds like a spring going ā€œribbit ribbit ribbitā€.

Xbox series X. Iā€™ve got flickering textures on the outside of the plane. Performance is pretty bad with quite a bit of stuttering while panning around the cockpit and in exterior view

LNAV bar on the flight director doesnā€™t move

Another thing Iā€™ve noticed is that if I load in with this aircraft and then exit the sim, I get stuck on 97% when trying to start the sim again unless I delete the reserved space (rolling cache) which fixes the problem and lets me back in

Default livery is continually flickering in external view. Well done for breaking my favourite aircraft.

Iā€™ve had the same problem with my engines being stuck at 100% in landing challenges. I found a workaround for it by restarting the challenge and pressing the yellow start button as soon as it appears. This works every time for me.

It seems that there is something messing with the engines if you wait for a certain amount of time when starting the challenge.

I tried 10 different ways to get ground power using Spadnext events and variables and that doesnā€™t work. Also tried leaving the external power access door open and calling the gpu truck which I thought woulda been a cool ā€˜featureā€™, but nahhh.

Was my favorite too, so I guess Iā€™m glad I havenā€™t touched it yet in 2024. The only reason for that is because third party liveries are not working, so I canā€™t use the custom one I have, and remains to be seen if itā€™ll ever make it to 2024. Iā€™ll stick to the career missions and exploring other new aircraft for now.

Same here, continuous flickering in external and drone views
