The systems MFD does not show any pressurization information. Not sure if that is a bug or if the developers haven’t added that feature in but it seems like the airplane is acting like an unpressurized aircraft when it should be pressurized. Also, there is no option to don the oxygen mask. Also, the Crew Alerting System doesn’t show a red “Cabin Altitude” message as it should if the plane is unpressurized at that altitude, although I believe that is not a feature that was implemented in the aircraft because it doesn’t seem like the Crew Alerting System is modeled. Hopefully there are plans for that. I am a PC-12 NGX pilot in real life.

Same issue as OP. Happens always.

Same issue.

Same problem. Pressurization system does not work.

Sit at FL210 for a bit, get a warning about lack of oxygen, then get teleported.

You can change your flight plan in the EFB to a lower altitude. I use 10,000 Ft. Works fine as a workaround although not realistic.

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged

Apologies for the hijack, but the more of these basic functionality bugs I see here, the more I am interested to understand the testing regime for the default aircraft. How do we have so many of the basic functionality not working across a large number of aircraft?

yeah, why is it even important to vote here on those topics ? Should be clear that this should be a fix that has to be done immediatly as soon as this bug is known. Destorys so much of this game, just destroyed a whole evening where i only had time for one flight, lost it becaus of Oxygen… wtf

• yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• nearly every medium cargo transport mission in career mode uses the PIlatus PC-12

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:


OXYGEN lever on the right is turned ON. cabin pressure controls are set to AUTO, and MANUAL mode is not implemented.
all the pressurization guages on the MFD are showing UNDEFINED values

  • cabin altitude UNDEFINED ft
  • pressure UNDEFINED PSI
  • cabin rate UNDEFINED fpm
  • cocpit temperature UNDEFINED degrees
  • cabin temperature UNDEFINED degrees


oxygen PSI is 0. probably shouldn’t have taken off in that state… :confused:

i conclude that either the pressurization system is simply not functioning (quite possible), or alternatively the O2 supply hasn’t been topped up before takeoff.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

I want tro fly long missions in the PC 12 NGX, get FL300 assigned, go to that height. Lose Consiuosness because of oxygen. Because this is career i am wasting everything that brings me fun now. Preussurization is not working on that plane, beeing lower than the assigned FL destroys my mission. I am now trying for 3 Days to play, spend like 10 hours, could only do one flight in the 172 because nothing else seems to work or in the evening the game crashes because the server is full. thank you. have now a 400 USD brick in my home and a 90 USD piece of software which is not working.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:

PC 12 NGX and others

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

everytime on missions where you need to be more than 10 minutes on FL300

REPRODUCTION STEPS

fly the PC 12 NGX on a cargo mission.
Or just lets say do any other mission then flightseeing and first flight to have some crashes or game braking bugs.

YOUR SETTINGS

not relevant.

How has this passed testing? One of the selling points of the new sim is the career mode and turns out it’s broken. Either remove the requirement

. It seems to be linked to ANY altitude above 15000 feet - your aircraft will crash out of nowhere after a certain time from the red warning you get.
