Heavy and Super Heavy still Lock and not available.

Also where Patch Note for all Aircraft ?

BTW Why A310/A330 is not classified as Heavy Aircraft ? is a mistake

“Cursor toggle” isn’t working on the xbox controller, at least on XSX.

So, I can’t toggle the cursor, the top of screen menu, or select anything. I tested to see if it would work when bound to my flight stick and keyboard and it does, but not controller.

That line connecting the airports on the map in the free flight mode setup seems to be missing.

EDIT: Only the first flight had this issue.

Heavy is still not unlocked

The aircraft haven’t been updated yet? The 787 and DreamLifter still have the broken LOD effects. The PS5 version has been updated and looks much better. Why hasn’t this been fixed on PC?

LIkewise. Seeing the same this - can’t take the Heavy exam even though I have all the prereqs. Just says “Will be enabled in a future update”

More release notes for Aircraft and the World will be added today, as an FYI.

Many of the aircraft will have updates go live soon, as first they are validating the SU4 Release.

Ah thanks, I’ll check back in a day or so.

Let’s not forget that Heavy was supposed to be unlocked in SU3, but they said it just missed the cutoff. Here we are in SU4 and still locked and no communication. Shocked? No. Disappointed and frustrated? Yes.

We’ve removed “Unlocked “Cargo Transport - Heavy” and “Cargo Transport - Super Heavy” career specializations” from the release notes, as they were included prematurely and aren’t ready at this time. We know you’re excited for this feature and we look forward to releasing it in the future.

Heli CH-47D Chinnok is streamed, but it cannot be selected because it is not available in the aircraft.

One of the improvements I was curious was the possibility of no longer use other programs to capture video when using VR.
But now I see there are some black areas around the image we are suposed to use for this purpose.
What is it? Am I missing something?

We know you’re excited for this feature and we look forward to releasing it in the future.

Can we get some more details here from the team? It was supposed to be ready SU3 and didn’t make it and now we’re at SU4 with nothing- why? what’s the hold up? why haven’t we heard much from the team on this topic? Thank you!

I’m disappointed that the Saab 340 is still broken. Inverter switch is still stuck, the conditioners are still unbindable. The A310 still are using the swapped sound files for the pack valve on and off positions.

I’ll keep exploring but so far I’m unimpressed.

TJ, Jummivana said in another thread that some aircraft updates were still incoming. Hopefully that fixes the Saab 340. (though I am not so hopeful for that inverter being fixed, that would require quite an electrical rework - just a feeling!)

Well even if they want the inverter to be inop, they could at least extinguish the Electrical warning light on the indicator panel.

But I’m hoping they’ll fully get it working.
