Still can't complete flight from point A to B without issues

[InboardBench419]

Hi all,

After the new update (6), decided to take a short flight trip between two airports, and see if it got any better, but was a bit disappointed. For me, if i can’t complete a simple flight from point A to point B without major issues the sim is not making any sense. Sure you can takeoff from a field and fly in the pattern without too many issues, however when it comes to real scenario flying with taxi takeoff, navigation approach and landing that’s when things got messed up.

Up until the arrival everything was OK, however selecting the approach and shooting it was not a good experience. I don’t understand why… but for some strange reason the developers decided to make an insane curve before every fix, like the DA-62 or the Cessna will fly it at 450Kts.

Why not just leave it a straight line and let the autopilot, upon switching to the next FIX/WPT just intercept it ?? Is that crazy circle is really necessary ?

Then I arrived to the Final approach fix… and i don’t know if that supposed to be a Procedure turn or a Hold but this thing is a MESS !

Yet again that crazy turn course is unable to pass all the strange fixes and creating this strange approach pattern. The plane kept circling and tried to follow the line but never started the ILS.

Then I gave up on that an disconnected the AP so start capture the LOC/GS.

Even that was unsuccessful !
look at the glide slope locked improperly and the plane just not correcting to capture it centered ! .
Needless to say, the AP started a very aggressive oscillations right before trying to capture the GS.

So until i can complete a full phase of flight, I’m a little upset that update 6 rolled out yet we can’t complete a simple flight with approach without major issues.
While people talking about graphics, and visuals… I thing for being a “SIM”, these issues has more priority.

What’s your thoughts ?

Fix the aircraft and stop worrying about scenery. That is my opinion, no comments necessary.

Well, the fixes are slated for update 9 so I wasn’t expecting any meaningful improvements in update 6. But yeah, it is disappointing.

I know some would like to get the 3d modelers and Bing maps people to help fix the AP but in the end it is something only the appropriate devs for the job can do. So we’ll just have to wait.

It’s like baying a car without an engine… Like yes you have it, and you can sit in it but you can’t go anywhere.
I would’ve expected these issues to be ironed earlier so we can enjoy a nice simulation of reality with approaches and stuff but instead they are concentrated on unnecessary stuff that can be delayed… Like removing the press to continue

I don’t have many hours in but I’ve completed flights fine in the DA62 although I’m using the DA62X and Working Title G1000/3000 mods. I don’t know if the mods are why my flights work though.

I’ve flown the procedure into KACY (Atlantic City) ILS 31 flown on autopilot until very short final for example. It doesn’t seem have any crazy 360’s like what you have there. You should try that one as a test.

Could you post the basics of your flight plan so I could try it? Departure/Arrival and arrival procedure you were trying.

Cheers

Try KRMG to KTRI. Then the ILS 5 approach. I selected IFR low altitudes.

To be fair, it does work sometimes. Just flew a 45min flight Ottowa to Montreal in the Beechcraft Baron. Used the planner with all boxes (approach etc) filled. It followed the plan perfectly, finishing on an automatic ILS landing, first time I’d attempted it.

I’ve had my share of problems, in particular with the ATC, but occasionally I get a result like this. Hopefully, over time, the good results will begin to outnumber the bad.

Yep, that approach looks corrupted. You could salvage it by going direct BOOIE after activating it, bypassing the weird USR waypoint.

RNAV 5 looks ok. Sorry, pilot.
