No progress on helicopter bug fixes. Basic bugs not fixed. Five months have passed

There are several bugs affecting helicopters that have not been fixed for 5 months. Very frustrating.

The current BETA does not include these basic, simple bug fixes either.

  1. Huge dust effect not fixed
  2. Robinson is not playable in career, asks for parking brake to be applied
  3. Injured people cannot be approached, cannot be dismounted due to obstacles

I will not list any more.

Disappointing

The situation is still depressing. I tried several helicopter missions in the SU 2 beta. So far, nothing has been fixed. 5 months have passed, and most of the helicopter missions are buggy, unplayable, and uncompleteable.

  1. It is still not possible to land and pick up people in helicopter SAR missions.

  2. Helicopter SAR-HOIST missions are still only available in watery areas.

  3. In agricultural missions, the landing site for the chemical truck is still small, and the truck is not always accessible.

  4. The R 66 helicopter cannot be used in missions because it is not possible to complete the mission. The system asks to activate the non-existent parking break.

My question is, why haven’t they fixed the initial bugs in almost half a year?

IMHO, MS has yet again proven that they aren’t ready to make production software.
I am not going to pay them industry-topping prices so I can be their beta tester.

Cancelled game pass and going back to XPlane and DCS (and MH-Zombie - check it out)

If MS ever fixes the helicopter career mode, maybe I’ll come back. But until then, I’d suggest as many people as possible cancel memberships and/or try to get refunds. They obviously aren’t listening to support requests, so give them a notice they can’t ignore.

I only regret keeping my membership this long out of optimism.

I think they’re listening. And acting to fix things.
Unfortunately, there are about 500 things on their plate, and what’s critical for some are less critical for the majority.

As you point out, each of us has the option to control our own wallet.

I confirm most of my Heli are not recognized and ask always for the Key or activation.
It’s look like Heli Missions is more like plane mission than Heli mission the only one who still working about normal is the Basic one from Asob

Its sad but we have choose to be in Beta so we have to accept unfortunatly to be guinea pig and we have paid to be, in place to have reward to help them to make good Sim.

For the moment less pleasure than dreaming before the Sim was out :frowning:
