EICAS: important information missing / not displayed
overhead panel: switch display logic incorrect
visuals: envelope shape not correct, noselines and bowlines missing
sounds: no resemblence with real (very distinct) engine sounds
If you are interested, we can iron out those issues together. I’m happy to help.
It would be a waste of development resources and manpower to leave it in this unusable state.
As a non real-world pilot (inc. Zeppelin NTs, ) thank you for posting up about these issues. I would never have known it was so wrong otherwise even though I had some suspicions
@UHPKCROW
As @Pilotfirst9999 mentions, you’ll need to file 1 bug per bug topic, as described here:
Although the bug descriptions, repro steps & screenshots will be issue-specific, most - or perhaps all - of your settings might be the same for all of the issues you encountered, so you could just copy & paste that section from your first bug topic into the rest. This will significantly reduce the need to repeatedly type in the same info into each bug report.
I have recorded over 65 bugs and issues. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to file each one separately. If you need my help making this module usable, feel free to get in touch.
Thanks, but the Volunteer Moderators are just regular users in the forums like yourself that spend an hour or so each day moderating the forums. We are not employees of Microsoft or Asobo, so have no control over any aspect of the game.
If you don’t want to create any bug reports, you can also provide feedback in this topic that is read by the Community Managers, who are Microsoft employees:
Welcome to the club. I am a realworld AN2-pilot and a very experienced sim-pilot and tried to get in contact with the team to fix some basic bugs but never heard anything from their side… There are many like us out there who combine real worls expertise with sim experience and passion for the hobby and it seems to be almost impossible to get their attention. It feels a bit like talking to a tree or so.
They realise I think that real world experience will cost them in terms of dev time. They have too many irons in the fire - they need to calm down and stop trying to produce new content every few months and stop expanding into too many consoles. It is ruining the sim because so much is being left to fix along the way.
I would suggest they need to stop for a good 6 months and concentrate on fixing what is here already and use all the offers of free help from experienced pilots. Anyway, from my minimal expereince of MS/Asobo, we have a hope in hell of that happening!
Exactly this. I’ve seen so many real-world pilots offering help concerning so many airframes. And I’ve not once see any of them ask for compensation. MS/Asobo should respect and utalise this wealth of real-world knowledge (in fact they really ought to be biting these peoples hands off, so to speak).
If you do know the bugs specifically and are able to type them all down im sure one of us can submit all the bug reports/errors on your behalf if thats acceptable obviously a VM or CM would need to clarify if thats ok first
It’s a shame that such valuable knowledge will simply go ignored because Asobo requires it in a specific format. If they were passionate about this, they would be jumping all over opportunities like this one.
@SN0WY33
Bug reports in the Bug Reporting Hub require a specific format so that the test team -who may not have anyone on the team that is an expert on every aspect of an aircraft or situation - can reproduce the issue. If they cannot reproduce the issue, then the development team cannot fix it.
More general comments can be made in the Polls & Feedback section for the aircraft, WU, CU or SU, and have no required format.
Users can choose to participate in both, either or none, as they so desire.
I get that. But these don’t appear to be small bugs, but complete misunderstandings of how the aircraft functions. This is not about reproducibility, but fixing something that’s not even there. Asobo has 1 of 20 real life pilots of the Zeppelin NT offering to help out of the goodness of their heart, and they’re going to ignore him because the bug reporting format is wrong? If I were them, I’d be making an exception to the rule in order to get things right.
I’m not trying to minimize the desire of the pilot to help, just pointing out the ways to do it on these forums that will make it more likely that the information gets to the right folks.
Bug Reporting Hub for features that are present in the aircraft that are not working as they should (Test Teams)
Everyone on this forum who submits a bug report, wishlist item or provides feedback is doing so out of the goodness of their heart - and many are pilots or experts in their particular aviation-related field - but there ways to ensure ones feedback is noticed rather than ignored, one of which is tailoring ones comments according to the person one is talking to (or, in this case, reading). This applies to many areas of business - not just here on the forums, as perhaps some of you have discovered when trying to convince your manager to agree to a something (e.g. “The XYZ needs replacing and a new one will cost $10,000”)
Thank you for the support, everyone. I will start writing bug reports. It will take a while, but maybe, with your further support and your votes, the issues will eventually be fixed.
As a longtime airship enthusiast, also active as the chairman of our association of the Zeppelin Museum in Zeppelinheim/Germany, I was absolutely stunned to hear that a Zeppelin NT was realeased on MSFS 2024. It was THE BIGGEST reason for me to buy the product. It looks amazing and flying around did work out not too bad, of course with the know shortcomings as described before, but landing does not work at all. I am not an NT pilot, but have some detailed tech. background as I am a mech. engineer and know the technology of the NT since the very beginning (1997). The issues really need to be fixed. The blimp should be flyable and enjoyable for everybody: enthusiast, pilots and people incl. kids for fun to experience these special aircraft! I would love to have a simulator with the Zeppelin NT being set up in our Zeppelin Museum in Zeppelinheim/Germany close to Frankfurt Airport. It would so much help to keep the fascination on airships alive! Whatever can be done to make this model work should be done. “Up ship” and “Blimpin’ ain’t easy!”
We genuinely value and appreciate anyone who wishes to offer their expertise to help improve MSFS. However, it is absolutely 100% necessary when submitting bug reports to do so using the full template and to keep each thread specific to one issue only. This is because the devs and QA teams reference your feedback when looking into the issue, and we link to each bug report thread directly in our internal tracking tool. They need to find a focused discussion that clearly describes each issue and has steps they can follow to reliably reproduce it on their end so they can begin troubleshooting. When they’re working on Issue A, it’s not an efficient use of their limited time to have to read hundreds of posts in an unfocused megathread where people are also discussing Issue B, Issue C, Issue D, etc.
Thank you for your help and cooperation with this.
