Hi @trex5365 it is here G36 Improvement Project - #1824 by CaptMatto or on Flightsim.to Bonanza G36 Improvement Project for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS
We have a real long list of things we fixed and if you look at our development version we are working on the aircraft remembering is state in between flights. E.g. saves fuel, switch positions etc.
I’m still pretty sure the main reason behind where we are with bug fixing is exactly as my first post but to paraphrase…
They are working hard to fix as many bugs a possible. See recent bug fix log for SU6, watch any number of dev Q&A videos.
When creating a complex product there are many, many interdependent parts. There will be devs working on specific areas of code, if code A relies on code B’s code to work, and the the team working on code B ‘fix’ or ‘upgrade’ what they are working on, it is very easy for something in code A to stop working because of that ‘improvement’.
When you are looking at 10’s of thousands of lines of code it is impossible to track. It is hard to explain to non-coders but this is probably the thing that gets me the most, and I only write web applications. It’s mostly after the client (us in this case) moves the goal posts on what they want.
Bugs are triaged - when reported, bugs will be given a score of how important they are. This is up to the team behind the product but I would imagine in its simplest form it goes something like: game breaking = high, minor annoyance (com dial on G1000 only going down) = low. I would imagine that it also is weighted by the number of players reporting the issue.
The bug fixing team or main devs or whoever have then got to start at the high level of bugs and work down. Don’t forget that first they have to reproduce it, delve in the code to understand why it is broken. Look back at my point on A & B codes above. Then write a fix. This will then need to be tested, QA’d etc.
Take these two blocks of code. It is from a database call that writes a simple record to a table. They are nearly identical, one will work, one won’t. It comes down to a missing comma, can you find which one is wrong? Now I know this is simple, I’ve told you the issue, but I think it will take you a long time to read each code block, check etc. before you find the issue.
CODE A
public function createSeatrial($formData) {
$this->db->query(‘INSERT INTO seatrials (seatrial_vesselName, seatrial_activity, seatrial_length, seatrial_buildYear, seatrial_maxCrew, seatrial_maxPax, seatrial_vhfLicence, seatrial_opLimits, seatrial_from, seatrial_to, seatrial_departDate, seatrial_master, seatrial_dp, seatrial_backupDp, seatrial_owner, seatrial_ownerPermision, seatrial_ownerPermisionDate, seatrial_notes) VALUES (:vesselName, :activity, :vesselLength, :vesselBuildYear, :vesselMaxCrew, :vesselMaxPax, :vhfLicence, :opLimit, :from, :to, :departureDate, :master, :dp, :backupDp, :owner, :permisionType, :ownerDate, :notes)’);
CODE B
public function createSeatrial($formData) {
$this->db->query(‘INSERT INTO seatrials (seatrial_vesselName, seatrial_activity, seatrial_length, seatrial_buildYear, seatrial_maxCrew, seatrial_maxPax, seatrial_vhfLicence, seatrial_opLimits, seatrial_from, seatrial_to, seatrial_departDate, seatrial_master seatrial_dp, seatrial_backupDp, seatrial_owner, seatrial_ownerPermision, seatrial_ownerPermisionDate, seatrial_notes) VALUES (:vesselName, :activity, :vesselLength, :vesselBuildYear, :vesselMaxCrew, :vesselMaxPax, :vhfLicence, :opLimit, :from, :to, :departureDate, :master, :dp, :backupDp, :owner, :permisionType, :ownerDate, :notes)’);
Don’t forget that we are also dealing with the sim running through complex formulas, setting variables, getting variables, writing to the screen etc.
My other point, is with posters that mention the MS is only interested in the money. In my response to that I’d like to give a counter argument.
We all have to live. To do that we work, in it’s simplest form we swap our time for money, so we can buy the things we want and have the lifestyle we want. I own two companies, one a web development company and the other a social enterprise.
Both have to make profit. If they don’t they fail and the people we employ lose their jobs. Making money is not a bad thing. Asobo and Microsoft have been developing this (and I’m sure I heard; from around 2017 in a QA video).
They have been paying wages, paying for buildings, paying for server time, building the azure infrastructure, paying for the integration to meteoblue and others, the list goes on and on.
To keep the platform running they need to keep the income coming in. If they don’t then the sim dies. As simple as that.
MS/Asobo need to keep developing the product and offering DLC (as do other game devs/companies) to keep their product relevant and fresh. We move on so quickly now from product to product it is hard to keep interest. So there will always be part of the team developing additional content just to keep the income coming in.
Apologies for the soap box post, I shall stand down now. 
Of course it is all done for profit. If you can recycle code and manage a product off a skeleton crew more power to you - but this isn’t working - at least not on Xbox.
The base game is maybe 40% broken?! Not, oh the clouds shimmer - but broken.
And the marketplace is obviously understaffed if we still don’t have aircraft released that were announced 6 weeks ago.
We can go around making excuses for this all day, but I think a product should not have large portions of it not functioning at launch.
I totally understand your position and that of others that are affected by the bugs and issues you are having. I can imagine how annoying it is.
However we also need to be mindful with the fact that there are a lot of users who don’t have any issues like that. I am on PC, I’d have it on X-Box if my old box was able to install it. Part of this goes back to the devs being able to reproduce and understand an issue prior to being able to fix it. This does take time.
I’ve also not had as nearly as many issues as you describe. I’ve had the odd CTD, mostly when developing the G36 and dropping in/out of flights and in/out of dev modes.
I’ve run it on an old laptop with min settings and now a good machine on ultra - it has been pretty stable since day 1 for me. Are there bugs, definitely. Do they break the game, thankfully no.
I can only speak from my own experience and understand your own - the SU6 update is fixing a lot of bugs (according to posts) so hopefully your issues will be sorted soon.
One bug requires an amount of time, 1000 bugs require 1000x that amount 
Really?
Have you seen the bug-fix list for SU6?
Well, it does make sense when you think about everything said on here.
Every peace of information about this problem is usefull.
1.
So, They probably took FSX to start with and broke it into segments. (let’s hope it will all be replaced at some point)
I must admit I always believed that becose the stock GNS 530 on MSFS and FSX had the very same limitations.
Maybe was it to give them a head start and/or to save some time/money.
In what percentage, we will probably never know.
But I know that looking at a code from someone else is very time consuming.
short story :
Back in the days I was a mechanics.
we would just not care at MOST of the customer comments as they were normally : boring, time consuming, out of purpose and what not.
My boss would even approve me not speaking with customers as they are very time/money consuming tbh.
I know it is easy to criticize, and even easyer to criticize someone who criticized.
But what I wanted is what I got.
everyone who did reply help brainstorming the reason behind the bugs still in place.
Hell even the mods helped by comenting ‘stay on topic’ which is probably one of the time consuming problems in developing the sim to some extent.
For the money/business part. I dont know about other countrys, but here in Canada, we have a worker shortage/outage and the inflation is something to keep in mind as well.
My guess is with this god forsaken Virus, they probably have a lot of problems connected to it. Again we can only speculate.
On a final chapter,
I want to say this.
I appreciate their work and I think they do some tremendeous work with the sim and I cannot wait for us to be a couple years later where everything on this topic will be irrelevant.
I did send them a zendesk ticket about one thing that I want to write here which contained emotion on how I can’t wait for later developpments.
If they used the community to help out a bit, they could benefit in so many ways.
So many people could help and through a voting process, the community could vote out and make it upgrade with lesser work from inside.
Also, they could easily work new kinds of sims connected to this one here is a list which is not exclusive.
Boat sim (sailing, large vessels, fairy etc)
Train sim
even Car sims (trucking, country riding, VTT, dirt bike etc.)
let’s get this even higher, space sim (lol)
I would LOVE to see a train and think, hey that guy is down there and he could very well be looking at me.
My point is, this platform is just the beginning
BUT
Lack of transparency is making everyone nervous and is in my opinion part of the problem.
Cheers.
Some people seem to believe they know what Asobo is doing, how they are prioritizing bugs and features, and what decisions they’ve made and the motives behind those decisions.
The reality is most of these people have no effin clue how the process works or what anyone at Asobo is thinking. When Asobo or Microsoft provide firsthand info, it’s not usually what the self proclaimed experts think.
Yes…there are choice being made. Yes…bugs are prioritized. But the people on these forums generally don’t have any knowledge beyond the dev roadmap we see weekly.
And if that statement comes across as me feeling I’m “more correct than others” it’s because my comment is fact based.
Yes, I have seen the Bug-Fix list, however, until SU6 is released we cannot be certain that the listed bugs have been fixed. It is a great list and I commented on another thread that I was really impressed at the amount of bugs being addressed.
…
So, we shall see how this bug-fix list holds up. Hopefully, it will not introduce more bugs.
I am one of those.
Despite the fact that I run the game on a 14 year old computer (i7 920 CPU) I have not had a single CTD, no installation problems and never any trouble with updates.
Oh and I am currently running 129 mods. No issues.
You are right, I don’t know what they are doing.
All I know is the sim was released with a lot of broken aircraft and features on Xbox and very few things are being addressed in SU6 based on their published list of ‘fixes’.
The devs do seem willing to spend time ensuring we fly more slowly through clouds though…
As a real pilot, let me tell you that up/down drafts are much more likely to occur than to see your airspeed going down.
Well, that’s not what the community voted to have “fixed” 
I am fairly confident that the time they spent on reducing the drag when flying through cloud, was not an attempt to “ensure we fly more slowly”.
There are many bug fixes in this update that are focused on bugs specifically pushed up to the developers by our moderators. Those are the bugs that spawned passionate discussion right here, on this forum. The ones most important to this community.
The bullet read “decreased aircraft airspeed in cloud” - I guess SU6 does the opposite, thank you for clarifying.
How long has the Balkans bush trip been missing an airport? A curated experience tied to an in-game achievement which can’t be completed?
I’ll let you decide which is actually a bug.
No-one here is suggesting that there aren’t more bugs that need handling. The argument that “my bug is more important than your bug” is a ridiculous argument and we need to drop the premise.
All the bugs need to be fixed. The order in which they get fixed is a function of how intrusive it is to the overall use of the sim. Sometimes when a gamebreaking bug is identified it is part of a larger system that has minor bugs included.
While you are repairing a problem with the way altitude is calculated, you are dealing with the algorithms that deal with density. While in there, why not deal with a few small nagging bugs like cloud density, or airspeed calculations. I am confident that the missing airports are being slowly worked through and in the process they may fix taxi lights and parking spot designations.
There are still bugs listed in the bug reporting section that have a whack of votes that can not be duplicated by everyone with the sim. What are we to do with those? The ones that even the developers have admitted they cannot duplicate. How do you even begin to find them? I have wasted countless hours trying to help some of our members solve a bug. I, of course, ask them to be sure they have no adds installed. Hours of troubleshooting on my sim still fails to duplicate their complaint. Then one day I see another thread where they are proudly spouting about the add on scenery they always fly with. When asked, they say it’s only scenery for landmarks in some city. The same city that they have complained their problem occurs.
Until users stop insisting that a livery can’t screw up the PFD we will continue to have strange unreproducible and unfixable bugs. How about the recent discussion with a user that insisted the sim was broken until it was revealed they had substandard cooling in the "gaming’ system they bought at a computer store?
Too many variables. Too many bugs. Not enough ‘truthful’ or complete information. A finite amount of time and resources. All lead to threads such as this full of posts complaining that no-one is interested in fixing the bugs. Until the users actually take some responsibility for PROPER bug reporting we will continue circling this drain. If we can’t get past our prejudices and conspiracy theories then I don’t see much hope for many of the users having gamebreaking issues.
Hundreds of CTD bugs have been fixed and yet those that screamed foul a few months ago never came forward and acknowledged that they can now fly, even though I keep seeing those same names now posting screenshots and complaining the clouds don’t look right.
I am not an idiot. I am well aware that this is an anonymous internet forum. I should have no expectation that those participating are anything but trolls. I was hoping, though, that our community was somehow bound by a common interest. Apparently that common interest ends with our membership here. I am convinced that there are users here that are simply here to make noise and will be lost when we actually solve most of the bugs.
The fix list in this update is nothing short of impressive. Your pet bug might not be there but some day it will be. Be happy that some of the bugs are being killed and maybe tomorrow we will celebrate with you when yours is too.
Fair point, and I was only bringing up one example.
The truth is there were too many bugs in the software to begin with and each update creates new ones (such as the example of the missing Bush trip airport) which has created a never ending cycle.
Right now my pet bug is every airliner on Xbox has their avionics go black and CTD after 45min-hour - a bug that should not have been present at launch, needs to be squashed immediately and I do not intend to shower praise for fixing something that should have never been acceptable in the launch version of the software and caused frustration for many users - that’s like the arsonist returning to a flaming pile of wreckage with a bucket of water.
The thing is, Sim Update 5 saw a complete rewrite of the middle tier, which was original MSFS X code. It was single threaded, had bad memory management, etc. Asobo rewrote that to be multithreaded, make better use of memory, etc. The thing is, finding bugs in multithreaded code is difficult. If one thread ends but has data that another thread needs, than that other thread can’t access that anymore. If one thread spawns several other threads, then ends but not all the child processes are complete, then all children threads dies too. What makes this so hard to debug is, it’s very hard to duplicate states sometimes. Perhaps the developers machine is faster than the bug reporter, so the developers threads always finish as they should, but the slower machine you see the problem. Or someone has less memory and runs many background tasks, so allocating memory is different. Asobo took care of a lot of bugs this release, but they capped wha they were going to resolve this go round a couple weeks ago so beta testers could make sure sim update 6 didn’t break anything new. Next month will be another sim update, with a whole new mass list of resolutions.
Given the complexity of the project, the other question that these threads raise is how long would people have wanted to wait for Asobo to develop the flawless product?
I spent years battling CTDs and other issues across two versions of P3D, generated by having multiple addons to get it close to what this sim can do out of the box. And MSFS does it on the same five year old system.
Personally, I would rather have something now that works well and is being actively developed, rather than wait another x years for something that works perfectly (assuming that was ever possible).
I think, with a sim as groundbreaking as this, it’s a miracle that we have as few bugs as we do.
The only thing I’d add is that maybe just a tad more communication would stop a lot of the griping.
