OAT of 248 C ?! (Impacts negatively on aircraft performance and autopilot function)

WebMaximus · December 2, 2021, 1:09pm

Doing a longer flight in the TBM 930 and went away from my PC for a bit during cruise and when I got back, I had bells ringing and watching the OAT, I understood why…have a look below

Didn’t see this bug before and now I guess I’ll have to descend to see if that will change the OAT to be a bit more realistic and allow the aircraft to perform a bit better than it does at this temp…

Yes same here. About 2hrs in, throttles cut - dropped altitude.

Apparenty there’s a live weather bug. Prolong flying causes it apparenty.

Ive just had this after todays update.

Pants.

I concur same in my CRJ flying now.

Could not work out why my CRJ became uncontrollable, could not reach FL380. Then I noticed my temp. That pic was at FL300

OK, let’s hope they get it sorted sooner rather than later.

CPTFisher2998 · December 2, 2021, 1:41pm

Yep. Fix is to turn off live weather.

Could be some information on live in for rather than the engine.. It flickered for me a few times. Then went haywire. Declared a mayday and I wasnt even over the triangle lol. Midway over the adlantic and still worried haha

Temperature went back to normal at FL 230. Then after FL 240 it appears again.

I could not work why I could not get my speed up and kept stalling. Only noticed today was flying ok yesterday

I have reported the bug to Zendesk

Now I was overspeeding while typing this

Passengers very unsatisfied

Now you know how Icarus felt.

ContrivedTea675 · December 2, 2021, 2:36pm

funny is known bug is temp peaks above 44 but you got it at 28 lol

JWATTS0275 · December 2, 2021, 2:54pm

It was only today was flying ok yesterday at FL380

OAT of +250 degrees in FL285 sound reasonable - if you are flying on Venus.

CaptainRude91 · December 2, 2021, 4:06pm

But ISA -38C?

pilotabdul123 · December 2, 2021, 4:12pm

Live weather bug yea

BlackSanta512 · December 2, 2021, 5:25pm

It’s a little toasty at 28k

YouriNL9702 · December 2, 2021, 5:25pm

oh no… not again these live weather bugs

BlackSanta512 · December 2, 2021, 5:26pm

Oh yes!!!

BlackSanta512 · December 2, 2021, 5:31pm

I have a feeling they’re working on something and broke the weather again. I’m flying now, albeit below 26K, and my FPS is much higher than what it has been. The CPU/GPU utilization percentages are different as well. The sim looks better today; I just can’t get up as high as desired.

frulx241 · December 2, 2021, 5:35pm

Had the +200°C bug just a few minutes ago and came here to check. FL240 and above results in high temps probably all over the world (tested in Germany, Austria, Japan and USA).

BlackSanta512 · December 2, 2021, 5:37pm

I tested the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, the Caribbean, and am now in the US. The bug has shown up in all of those places on the F-15, 78X, and 748 for me.

Same problem for me. Glad my TBM isn’t made of tin or it would have melted. Luckily I crashed to desktop a few minutes after the heatwave began.

Guess I’ll have to use the “other” simulator. You know, the one that’s works as advertised.
