pretty sure they had a fixed date with the air race content and could not delay further

I think something as important as calculations that can affect flight dynamics is more than enough reason to delay a patch regardless of what is releasing for a flight sim
. An important part of these races is in fact, flight dynamics…

I’ve long stopped thinking how they logicaly think with 2024

Honestly, at this point it might be the smart thing to do. Trying to find logic where there is none only winds up hurting ourselves

Just adding my voice to those seeing the effects of the changed flight model. Just ran my FSR 300E into the ground on final because I could not slow down. Why does every Sim Update have a critical, core part of the experience busted on final release? Why does this keep happening? SU5 required 5.1. SU6 required 6.1. SU7 will now require 7.1. Once is a mistake. Twice is suspicious. Three times is borderline negligence.

In addition to the global drag bug, it seems like reports of an electrical system bug are impacting multiple planes, causing CAS messages and odd battery drain indications. Reports of this on the Longitude, and a similar sounding bug on the C172 G1000 logged recently.

Hawk Arrow II no missions in career mode.
Ford Trimotor still gets no missions in career mode.

What an absolute farce career mode is becoming
Loads of missing missions, the career mode team added all these nice filters and didn’t realize there is almost nothing to filter
Freelance mode
Here is KORD no filters. Total 5 missions, 1 passenger
Here is KORD again with passenger filter. Oh wow we found more passenger missions than without filters but still only 3 passenger flights
Here is Sydney no filters. Total 9 missions
Sydney again with passenger filter only 5 missions. No genuine long hauls nothing over 7hours.
People are wondering why certain aircraft dont have missions, it’s because the total mission generator has been broken since SU6 and they did nothing about it. Bug threads created, new fancy filters. No missions. I was really hoping the new filters would unlock the missing missions, they do not
KORD has had a mission problem for almost a year it’s one of the busiest hubs on earth, can’t even fly to LAX or JFK from KORD

These updates are honestly getting worse. The sim is currently unplayable on PS5 because of random ghost inputs throughout flights—jamming on airbrakes, changing views, and completely ruining programmed approaches.
On top of that, the turbulence in Career mode is completely overtuned. Even in larger planes like the PC-24 and Longitude, you get thrown around like a piece of paper on approach. Even with maximum stick inputs, the plane becomes completely uncontrollable.
There’s nothing realistic about getting violently tossed around like that, and there’s no option in Career mode to turn it down.
They seriously need to fix these two issues—get rid of the phantom inputs and give us access to the turbulence setting in Career mode. Out of the last ten months, the sim has only felt solid for about two!

You’re right. They should stop pushing updates with glaring issues just to hit a deadline. On the flip side, they’ve also done the opposite - letting a deadline pass without any communication whatsoever. AAU4 was released 1 month later than scheduled and everyone was totally in the dark about it and Asobo said nothing until “Hey everyone, here’s AAU4!”
Both of these extremes are just poor practice. It’s like this team totally skipped their Project Management 101 class. You cannot underestimate the value of simply communicating.

This is why I no longer look forward to updates, rather I’ve begun to dread them.
This is a disaster.
Firstly and most embarassingly: How can you push an update to live that breaks one of the fundamental physical properties of the sim?
Users are flagging electrical issues in many aircraft.
The headline update here doesn’t interest me much, and if it did, being multiplayer only, it’s likely completely DOA in Oceania where I play. It also seems to be just as spotty and buggy as it was in the beta.
The new efb page was buggy in beta and seems to have released that way.
Many “bug logged” issues - like the broken da-62 engine starter - have been left untouched.
I dialed down my expectations after the half-baked release of Bush Trips (not touched at all this update) and the very lackluster patch notes all through su7 beta but Asobo have still managed to thoroughly disappoint me.
I won’t be using the sim until they fix drag calculations at the very least. I desperately hope they get on it asap, I could really use the escapism the sim provides right now and just my luck they they chose this moment to completely brick it.
Get it together devs, please.

Let’s hope that hotfix for the issues comes before October 23rd when the Bluebird 757 releases, or there are really going to be a lot more upset people.

As far as I understand the bug, the BlueBird 757 will not be affected because it won’t be a native MSFS 2024 version at release.

Physics bug should have never been released. I did a flight and it was miserable. The sim should roll back to SU6 until its fully fixed. Xplane looking more and more like the better option after each SU update. Very disappointed.

I would not bet on that… Not sure if the drag calculations only affect native 2024 versions. Is that confirmed?
I’m not sure if it’s fair for me to vote on the console version, given that I’ve only completed one flight and have only launched the game three times so far.
Am I right in thinking there has been no public acknowledgement of drag being broken for many 3rd and 1st party planes and that a hot fix is in the works? Is the dev forum thread being shared around the only source we have for this info?
Asobo might want to hop on that sooner rather than later as it looks quite amateurish to say nothing.
