Yes, the temperature definitely affects aircraft performance, just as it does in real aircraft. In any of the sim jet aircraft, temperatures 40 or 50 degrees above normal at high altitude greatly reduces available engine thrust, and causes a massive increase in fuel consumption.

It is all about density altitude: Hot air is thinner than cold air. High altitude air is thinner than than low altitude air. Both thing at the same time = very thin air = bad engine performance and bad wing performance.

Ah, I see. I understand how temperature affects aircraft in the real world, but I was wondering if it was just a visual thing or if the physics calculations were actually being affected. When I first saw this post, all the replies were hidden when I commented, so I didn’t see all the other responses…

A hotfix has been scheduled for Friday (could be moved back to Monday)

Source of this hotfix information?

[image] Regarding Your Feedback + Upcoming Hotfix News & Announcements Thank you for your comments over the last 7 days with the recent Sim Update 5 release. We have seen and read from the core simming community and recognize there is some feedback that needs to be address…

I want to remain optimistic, but wasn’t a patch already released that was intended to fix the problems with SU5? Let’s hope the the hotfix to fix the hotfix to fix SU5 does what it needs to do. This is also confirmation that we will continue to have high temps aloft until Friday or Monday, assumin…

Still broken after hotfix. Over the atlantic ocean at FL380 the temperature suddently increased from -50c to +22c. This happened while playing around with the drone camera, don’t know if the bug is somehow related to this.

Having the same problem. I was wondering why the fbw a32nx was climbing so slowly till I saw that it was waaay to hot. Hope they fix it soon. No use trying to play with live weather…
