September 3, 200619 yr Hi all,To make it easy for Microsoft to keep track of bugs reported on this forum, it might be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to them. This is that thread.I'd suggest that bug reports be kept fairly concise (while maintaining thoroughness) and that system specs accompany each bug report.I'll get the ball rolling:1) Blue screen of death occurs whenever I try to drop a flour bomb with a joystick button. This happens with my MS Sidewinder FF2 and also my XBox 360 Controller. Keyboard-activated dropping works fine.2) Airbus autothrottle issues. The logic for activating and turning off the autothrottle in the Airbus appears to be flawed. After I turned it on, I wasn't able to turn it off unless the autopilot was on.3) Inconsistent flour explosion patterns after flour bomb impact. Sometimes they appear, sometimes the bombs go right through the target, sometimes a big flour splotch appears on the water and won't go away.4) This isn't a bug, but more of a general observation. I have not yet been able to configure FS X to allow me to fly above 200 knots without overrunning the zone of clear textures into the blurry zones. The computer just can't keep up. I've got most sliders in the middle. System specs are below.Okay, that's it for me for now, hopefully others can add to this thread and we'll make it easy for MS to make our lives easier in the coming release cycle!Best Regards,Matt Smith-System Specs-Pentium D 3.2 Ghz Dual-CoreGeForce 7900GT 256MB2GB RAMWindows XP Pro Matthew Smith | Priority Left Consulting www.priorityleft.com
September 3, 200619 yr I'm not sure the intention of releasing the beta to the general public was to get flooded with new bug reports. But.....it might not be a bad idea to report BSODs and other major crashes that are easily reproducible by many users. In other words, if you want to report a bug in this forum, make sure it's a very very bad one. If MS doesn't pick up on it, then maybe one of the beta testers will try to confirm and enter it through official channels.Matt
September 3, 200619 yr I get BSOD every now and then.The most annoying bug is when strobes nav lights are turned on, i get odd graphic glitches on the plane. thats with Anisotropic mip filter on.

September 4, 200619 yr I've run the fileplanet beta for up to four hours.I haven't seen anything like a timelimit.I have had several crashes where the program wants to report a problem - all involving another open view window.Did you uninstall the FSX Demo - the readme clearly states the Demo and Beta are incompatible - and do a cold shutdown before installing the Beta.I could understand how having the demo on your computer could cause an issue like this.
September 4, 200619 yr Then you must have been provided a beta tester key. If you cancel the key activation it runs in trial mode and times out.

September 4, 200619 yr Youp! Something is really fishy about European textures! My country (Croatia) looks like there is no life... Oh wait.. i think I have seen one vilage :) Disaster!!! Mesh is good, but there are no citys, roads... Eaven the rivers and lakes are not there as they should be. nothing! And Italian and Slovenian Alps... I didn't know that there are forests on 7000-10000ft. :) I've been hiking there... Nothing but cliffs!!This are some very serious issues!
September 4, 200619 yr I don't have the beta, but in the demo the moon is throwing a very bright shine on the sea an the sun is not. It should be the other way around
