Obviously time to go back to FSX and look a little harder.

 

I play FSX every day so yes I try hard, Flight I fire up once in a week and have already seen plenty of those bugs. Have almost been almost all around the world by now. So if they where that common I've should have seen them by now? Guess I'm lucky..

post the location and details on the Steam support forum, in hopes they can get fixed.

 

I think there are to many of these bugs, kills the immersion for me.

 

So how many have you posted?

I don't see It as my job to correct Flight's bugs I leave that to the Flight dev team. If they pay me to post bugs on the steam forum I might do that. Until then I leave it to other people who has the time to do so.

I don't hate Flight or whatever I just shared my expirience.

 

I posted in this thread just because Bobsk8 was saying that previous flight sims had a worse problems with these bugs, I had too share "MY" expirience that Flight for "ME" has more of these bugs as I have never seen them in FSX.

 

Please feel free to share your perfect expirience with Flight. If youre happy nothing is better than that, Microsoft needs all the happy customers they can get. (Im just one of the unhappy customers who is quite dissapointed with the Alaska DLC for many reasons, not just the bugs)

I think it's clear by now this is a bug... I have never seen it in Flight nor in FSX btw. But it's time to put a lock on this one...

 

 

 

 

:Thinking:

?

?

 

I locked the topic but that obviously wasn't a really good idea because I reacted to a post of you and locking it made it impossible for you to react of course. Luckily you managed to post ? before I actually locked it. It's open now again.

 

I posted that questioning smiley because I found your remark a bit odd. First of all customers are never supposed to correct bugs, secondly reporting them is quite normal, or even needed if you want the software to become better. I just found your reaction a bit too easy: you don't want to help out but leave it to others...

Yes It maybe normal to report them but I dont have the time to take screenshots and write down the location, register on the steam forum and start posting. Maybe others do and that's great. I just don't feel It's my duty. Now you can close the thread if you like :P

It takes just a tiny bit more effort than posting them here. But suit yourself.

Unless it's a huge problem, then I don't worry about holes in the ground or the occasional flying tree. I've gone through every flightsim since the Commodore 64 days and I've seen just about all of it. I think it's great that some people post these "errors" on Steam, but again, I don't let it bother me. I just fly for the enjoyment since I no longer fly in real life.

 

If the MSG team is tied up with fixing these holes, then that steals resources away from what most of us really want, ie...AOD, Real aircraft, Bush Planes, Multi-engine, GPS, etc...

 

Naturally, this is just my opinion. And thanks Jeroen for leaving this open. I think it may foster some constructive conversation.

Im not the one that posted the pic in this thread, say that to the person that started this topic.

Are you saying you haven't actually found any besides that first one where you posted a pic? It's just a tiny bit hard for someone else's terrain bugs to interfere with a person's immersion in Flight, don't you think?

 

Go take a flght from Anchorage to Sparrevohn via Merrill Pass staying about 1000' AGL. The route is documented elsewhere on the forum. It's not difficult to do your own navigation if you use something like GMap or vcrmap.com. Go do that flight, then come back and tell us how awful Flight's Alaska is.

Maybe you should read his posts again, Hook. 1. He didn't post a pic at all. 2, He said he finds bugs like these quite often in Flight but didn't seem them yet in FSX.

 

He might well like that flight you supposed him to fly (thanks of reminding me: I did that other pass but not yet this one!), but as he said there are also other reasons why he doesn't like Flight.

 

EDIT

For your convenience here are the relevant quotes from Kaboki:

 

Yes, but back then they did the whole world. Now they work a smaller area so It should be alot more easy to get things right.

I think there are to many of these bugs, kills the immersion for me. I've been flying FSX for about six months and haven't seen any scenery bug yet, but in flight alaska I've seen more than I can count.

 

I know there are plenty in FSX I just said I have never encountered them, seen plenty of youtube videos of bugs. But my point is I seem too run into them all the time in Flight, but haven't seen anyone myself in FSX. Maybe I'm just lucky with FSX...

 

Good for you , I get them every time I play this game. :(

This one came after about 20 consecutive Flight bashing posts. At the time, I took it as just number 21 and reacted accordingly, which was incorrect on my part. Trust me, I've been reading his posts. For people who find bugs and want to help fix them, post them on the Steam forum. You've given this advice yourself.

 

Here's his quote that makes me think he's personally seen only the one. It was in response to advice to post the glitches on the Steam forum:

 

I'll do that next time I see stuff like this, forgot too take note of the location this time.

 

The idea of getting someone to do that Merrill Pass fight is to show what Flight is capable of. I just did it myself last night and was amazed. That's the best scenery I've seen in Alaska so far, and I flew during summer. Probably better in Spring. Find out what Flight can do, then see if a few terrain errors is worth all the fuss. Make note of them, report them if necessary, and move on.

That's just the same for me. I posted it purely out of curiousity. As I stated, I'm happy with the Alaskan DLC, regarding to the price and quality. It allows me to fly in beautiful surroundings (mostly the mountain views), and various weather conditions. No complex startups, simple handling, just have fun with the game!.

A lot of terrain glitches are fairly amusing. This is one of them. If I see something odd enough, and entertaining enough, I'll post a pic here, not as a complaint or bug report but just as you did. Just for fun.

 

In FSX I was flying down the Orinoco once (South America, great flight) and decided to land for the evening. Turns out the airport had a problem and was exactly 1000 feet below ground level. Well... I got landed anyway, which was fun. Edited the airport afterwards to add 1000 feet, then took off from a normal ground level airport when I continued my flight. This was more amusing than annoying, and when you've got 20,000+ airports you can expect an oddity or two.
