ISSUE DESCRIPTION

So this is a known issue at XBOX version but it also occurs at PS5 Version too.

It would be better if this is fixed before PS5 launch.

AI "Pilot" Engages in Cursor Mode and Messes Up Flight

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Description of the issue: When you fly any aircraft by hand (autopilot is not engaged) with the Xbox controller / gamepad, and engage Cursor Mode, an AI pilot takes over control and completely messes up the flight. This can be anything from full throttle to no throttle at all, random direction changes, etc. In MSFS 2020, there was an assistance setting to turn AI piloting OFF in Cursor Mode. MSFS 2024 does NOT have such a setting, and the AI pilot turns on every time you enga…

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Everytime.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

1. Spawn with any aircraft.

2. When flying and on Autopilot. Enable cursor mode.

3. Monitor speed as “AI pilot” sets speed to max or idle.

Could another option be to just keep “straight and level” flight when in cursor mode? That seems more effective than the current function of AI piloting in cursor mode. I’ve noticed this with the flight control surfaces as well as the throttle when in cursor mode.

Hmm, when I enable the cursor mode no autopilot is engaged on ps5. But I would invite an option to auto enable the ‘pause’ in cursor mode.

Thank you, we have logged this bug.

In the meantime for a workaround:

Set Assistances to Default Assists, and then set assistances to your desired preference.

This workaround doesn’t work on Xbox in Sim Update 4.
