Brief description of the issue:
The recently released Sim Update 14 (1.35.31.0) contains new bugs in the Reno Racing activity, in addition to not fixing the “P-51D aicraft power loss/fuel starvation during race” bug despite claim in SU14 release notes.
The new SU14 Reno Racing bugs occur only during qualifying/racing in the Unlimited and Jet classes (time trials seem unaffected). The Bi-plane and T-6 classes seem unaffected. The new Unlimited and Jet class bugs introduced with SU14 are as follows:
-
The lap counter and race statistics graphics normally displayed in upper-right corner of screen are missing. This bug is extremely annoying during a close race.
-
The vertical pylon identification graphics are missing from pylons 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and finish line. This bug is extremely frustrating for new racers unfamiliar with the race course.
-
Racers crossing the finish line remain active “in the race” until the last racer finishes. Unfortunately with this bug, the race winner is subsequently penalized after finishing the race if the winner’s aircraft cuts a pylon or crashes before the last racer crosses the finish line. This bug is both annoying and amusing to Reno Racing veterans.
In addition to the new Reno Racing activity bugs introduced with SU14, the “P-51D aicraft power loss/fuel starvation during race” bug during time trials and races remains despite claim of fix in SU14 release notes. The P-51D aircraft (except Strega and Voodoo) begin each trial/race with HUD indicated 46% fuel level and the engine subsequently dies after fuel level decreases to 23%. In comparision, Strega/Voodoo also begin race with HUD indicated 46% fuel level and finish with 18% fuel remaining. Switching the fuel selector from left to right-hand tank during the race also causes loss of engine power. It should be noted that same bug exists when flying P-51D aircraft in free flight, so problem seems to be in aircraft modeling and not specific to Reno Racing activity. Since Strega and Voodoo aircraft are apparently modeled with dual-tank fuel feed to engine (no fuel selector provided), they are unaffected by this bug.
Although the P-51D fuel starvation bug is old and can be remedied by “adding fuel quantity” during trial/race, the listed new SU14 bugs have no apparent work-around.
