KNOWN ISSUES (Last update Nov. 19th, 2021)

Please find below a list of other known issues and solutions (when available)

SIM UPDATE 7 KNOWN ISSUES

General:

• TrackIR may sometimes stop working properly during a flight. Press F12 to reset the position.

• Glass cockpit remains off when starting from cold & dark with the Volocity

• Save custom weather presets is not operational

• High-temperature spikes happen above 44000ft

• Assistances reset to "Easy"  
  • Go to Options > Assistance Options. Customize the settings as per your convenience and skill.

VR:

• Only one controller is active at a time, so you cannot interact with two instruments at the same time. However, you can control the yoke and interact with an instrument simultaneously. A few planes, such as the Volocopter, have a very specific configuration (throttle or other instruments on the yoke for example) which makes them currently more complicated to control with VR controllers. We will work on a way to make these planes fully compatible with VR controllers in the future.

• The HUD in Reno Races may appear in the center of the field of view. Switching out of and back to VR fixes the problem.

• A large white dot appears in the center of the screen during the loading after completing a landing challenge

• You may experience a visual glitch when loading the main menu back from the cockpit

• Clicking on the Toolbar does not work (mouse, VR controller)
  -There may be some issues with the VR controllers when setting the interaction model to Legacy

Devmode:

• Aircraft can no longer compiles because of glTF errors

FA-18 Super Hornet:

• Has trouble maintaining bank angle after Roll Hold mode is engaged

• Autopilot RALT mode does not work, it doesn’t follow height above the ground

• Barometric Altitude (BALT) Hold fails to engage if Auto Throttle is active

• Afterburners don’t engage when you push the throttle to 100%. They need to be activated with a key binding

• HUD flickers depending on lighting

World Map:

• Using a mouse with a custom profile will not allow you to pan across the world map. Revert your mouse to the default profile as a workaround, or rebuild a custom profile from the default mapping.

AVIONICS 

• Screens go black when flying: There are multiple root causes being investigated, but one issue is related to battery drain. The starter is always ON even after the engine having been started, continuously draining the battery. After some time, the systems shutdown. 
  • Workarounds: 
    • Flip the ENG switches off prior to starting a flight. This only applies to the piston aircraft (e.g. C172, DA40).
    • Unbind the "Set Starter" from the ENG 1 switch
    • Unplug the TCA Airbus Quadrant

MENU

• Unable to navigate through some of the menus due to freezing or the cursor jumps around and does not interact with menu elements.
  • Workaround: 
    • Stop or pause any downloading content, restarting the game, connecting a USB mouse, and even opening the Xbox Guide and closing it again

CTDs
