Toolbar Missing and ability to change certain weather settings missing when loading a saved flight

Xbox series x here - cannot continue a saved flight as all toolbar assigned functions do not work, even via hotkeys. Toolbar cannot be brought up either, even when assigning a new keybind to “toggle toolbar”.

No ATC window, no map, no fuel window, no weather window, etc. Kills any IFR flight you were in the middle of.

I gave up on waiting for saved flights to be fixed in 2020.

Since then I select a row in the flight log and click Fly Again. Fly Again does not remember the waypoints I added, but at least I get the departure and arrival airports and any parking or any departure and approach selected.

It does not have everything saved flights are supposed to have, but at least I always get the toolbar including the ability to change the weather and I usually use the Garmin 1000 NXI to select the approach based on current live weather conditions anyway.

Got this issue on xboxSX also, is this actually on the bug list’s? I carnt find it if it is

same here on XboxSX have this issue as Cavalera 999

On loading saved flight either in the air, or of ground ( cold and dark) no top menu appears with Left stick click, or setting up keyboard key’s.

Do you also lose all features attached to the toolbar like the nav map, ATC window, etc? I can’t bring these up even using hotkeys.

Yes I do, have tried with mouse attached (much better for Garmin’s), and keyboard ( can do without. But wanted to test).

I have not seen it “officially” acknowledged as a bug.

It’s unbelievable this is still going guys. thanks for keeping reporting in the hope someone from the dev team eventually sees this! I’m still not playing the game until it’s fixed, breaks the immersion completely if I can’t do long flights or park somewhere and carry on another day

Assuming Bug Report forms have been submitted for this ?

Don’t relay on just posting up in a forum bug section if there submitting forms. Dev’s might never see. Even in here.

hi, yeah, used the official ones. Once you submit, they are immediately set to status ‘resolved’ by a system bot. no humans appear to get involved so no idea who monitors or even if they do/care

They should still pickup the details

Personally, I have submitted it multiple times with Zendesk. Providing reproducible cases for both the positive and negative scenario. It’s been a while though.

I guess everyone should at least submit it once, maybe that makes it more visible?

Yes, it will. Working on a it support desk my self, one or two reports every now an then, don’t mean anything. There needs to be a large number over a short window for people to take notice. Especially if they think what your reporting was already fixed.

I have written up two 100% reproducible cases for Zendesk: one for the missing Weather icon and one for the missing Toolbar. In the first case, the Toolbar works after loading but the Weather icon is missing. In the second case, the complete Toolbar is missing.

I can only actually reproduce it on my PC, but I think xbox has the same issue so hopefully some of you can also report it to Zendesk on other systems.

I too have long since given up on saved flights. Perhaps the reason Zendesk isn’t doing anything about this issue is that only 64 pilots have vote for this topic. That makes them think that this is not really very important.

I think it is more a problem of (or the lack of) having all the defects systematically sorted in a tracking database and (important) being able to check the status on each. Right now it is more of a fire and forget and a “me too” which causes frustration while spending much effort into reporting something and never hearing back from dev.

My toolbar is gone after save a flight and tried continue later. Is it possible to solve? I am on Xbox series x

Same error here, same test, but on Xbox Series x version.

Just confirmed this is not solved Sim Update 9, the cases still reproduce.

I was hoping maybe by accident, but no :confused:
