Live Weather: Yes
Live Traffic: Yes

Mods: None
Flight Time: 1hr 26mins (approx)

Black Avionics/Shutdown: NO
Crash to Desktop/CTD: NO

NOTES: I have spent a lot of time in the options/menus during this flight because SU7 has changed so many of my custom settings back to default or some other random value. My controllers sensitivity settings have changed which is slightly irritating as I had spent some time fine tuning them.

Only a short flight but all OK

EDIT: I have also noticed my logbook has lost more of my previous flights.

Did the taxing and take off to 10000ft then Fast forward to Descent while active pausing.
Moved further in flight with speed up function.

Black Avionics/Shutdown: NO
Crash to Desktop/CTD: NO

NOTES: All in all a great flight with hardly any glitches but the usual ones that I am getting used toā€¦ digits erratic when entering values for altitude, speed and heading using Xbox Controller. That shouldnā€™t be hard to fix but I must say it seemed stable nevertheless.

Before SU6 I couldnā€™t make it from EGLL to LEMD without my screens going black, but as stated in my report, I made it. I assume yesterday had crammed servers? Weā€™ll see. We need to just keep assessing the reports that come through although, it looks like we have a ratio of more successful reports than bad ones which is definitely something. Best of luck everyone with future reports. -Ant

Looks like the ā€œblackā€ avionics are back in SU7 :rage: on my series S. After disappearing in SU6 :roll_eyes: At least it happened after I had landed & was taxiing. NO CTD though.

Comments: I did a quick flight from NYC to Washington DC. Right when I loaded into the airport, there was a good amount of 5-10 FPS stutter for several minutes until the scenery loaded in, but cleared up as I flew away from the NYC area. I took the runway 19 River Visual approach into KDCA. The moment when I was about 50 feet above the runway about to touchdown, Black Avionics, followed by immediate CTD. So far, I definitely feel like performance has degraded with SU7 as compared to SU6.

Yes. The update appears to have made the problem worse.

Perhaps they will find the problem now, they did something. Since the update I have had problems with the airport which are not loaded 100%

Good flight. No stutters, very smooth. Except for my less than stellar landing. Overshot the touchdown zone a bit.

When this happens did you go into the little drop down menu because thatā€™s when itā€™s happening to me. Itā€™s quite annoying as sim update 6 fixed this now itā€™s back again.

Bad report -

Xbox X

Mods - None

Aircraft- 747

Route - Kord to Kjfk

Flight time - 0

Black avionics - Yes

CTD - no

Notes - I couldnā€™t even start a flight to begin with . As soon as I powered up , black screens at the gate , retried it again cold and dark , black screens at the gate ,retried it starting automatically, black screens on pushback. This issue is beyond worse than last update and is happen with almost all of the aircraft especially in airports and mainly in or near the airports using pure vanilla straight out of the box ! No mods whatsoever. This is at this point unacceptable for what people are paying for . To the developers, are you guys seriously testing this stuff pre release? Iā€™m talking vigorously testing this ? Not just a few minutes here and there ? This seems to be very related to your own airports and other aircraft are having immediate black screens even before the flight can begin across the board ! Very frustrating. Much worse and much unstable in terms of the black avionics issue on this update. This should be priority.
