All polls other than those related to download/install are deliberately closed for now. We will open all the polls for voting once players have had a chance to properly experience SU3.

UPDATE: polls are now open for voting.

It’s been several months since the release of MSFS 2024 and we are already at Sim Update 3, yet, we don’t have a properly functioning AI traffic at the airports. I believe this issue has been brought up many times and even with MSFS 2020 it never got to a properly functioning level. Most of us will be happy with FS2004 level AI traffic but we have yet to see this despite all the advertisement, requests, etc.

As is, and even with SU3 release, the AI planes don’t land properly (some do, some don’t, some fly at low elevations near or within the airports), when they land and exit the runway, they get stuck at the taxiway and don’t move, don’t also disappear, at many occasions they get stuck at their locations after pushback (if they are close to your plane). etc.!

The ship traffic is only visible when we are very close to land/sea! This was not an issue with MSFS 2020 and has yet been resolved in MSFS 2024!

When can we expect a properly functioning AI traffic?

I will also submit this question to the next Live Developer Update!

Thank you,

Jumped into the Dakota and everything is working just like I left it in SU2. Time for some flying!

I see the bug is still present on XSX where after a flight the cursor wont appear on the world map and the sim refuses to load a second flight.

I believe the bug reports are still open for a week, if you can find it, perhaps add to it so they have that feedback in the best place?

I can’t release the parking brake after SU3! What’s going on?

Interesting xsx user here and I’ll get 8 plus hours straight in the beta no ctd and generally stable performance

COWS DA40. I haven’t tried other aircraft but it wasn’t like this before SU3.

Cool. I don’t know what to do then. Had to disconnect from VATSIM because of this stupid sim. I couldn’t get rolling :man_shrugging:

Was the parking brake physically forward though? Tap your brakes and see if that fixes it. What’s interesting is that I’ve had this issue in MSFS 2024 and XP 12 before and doing that solves the problem.

Sim hangs and/or crashes on the Change Aircraft page. OMG…….

Half the buttons in the PC-12 don’t work anymore. It’s unflyable! The update has broken everything.

Also, ATC is silent for half the messages. Don’t even know when they’re talking to me until I get a Mission Steps prompt. This is awful!
