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 think if you fly FSX enough, and fly low as may people are doing in Flight due to the aircraft you will come across many of them. I have seen runways going into the water, holes, craters, etc in both FS9 and FSX in fact in any sim I have had. Haven't seen any in Flight Alaska yet, except the trees at the end of the runway, which I have also seen in FS9. The thing that really got my goat in FS9 and X were the infamous "blurries". You haven't lived until you havve seen the scenery close to you be all smeared and all of a sudden it snaps in focus, only to occur again.

 

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.

I used to love the ones where you would be taxing a 767 on a runway, an all of a sudden the plane would sink into the runway surface causing a "crash"....This while taxiing in after a 3 hour Virtual Airline flight.

 

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)

 

If you see so many bugs, I am wondering if there is something not right in your installation of the scenery, cause I have been flying in Alaska a great deal ( hours a day) since it came out and haven't seen any, and most of my flights are between 1500 and 3,000 feet AGL.

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.

 

Go back for spring... Snow on the mountains. Some ice on the water. But still plenty of green grass and trees visible. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon, depending which direction you take, to have low-angle sunlight from behind you. With some low clouds, the tallest peaks will rise to meet them.

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:

Make note of them, report them if necessary, and move on.

Aaaaaah, you were looking at the bigger picture! I was only thinking of this topic... Yes, you indeed read his posts.

 

I understood the idea behind the tip do to that flight. I just finished it and I will probably post some screenshots on the screenshot forum. Great flight!!! EDIT http://forum.avsim.net/topic/378967-merrill-pass/

I would have to say the same. While my time is limited and I am sure I do not have near the time in Alaska as many of you, I have now flown several jobs - anywhere from 100nm to 250nm, probably around 5-6 hours so far in Alaska, and I have yet to see one of these anomolies like has been mentioned. Imho the scenery is absolutely beautiful.

 

When I pick a job, I generally just pick the airport I last landed at on the previous job, and choose a job from there - so am certainly not flying over the same area each time.

I haven't done any jobs yet in Alaska, I have been just flying from one airport to another maybe 30 to 200 miles away. Hope to eventually fly into every one. Right now I am flying from Kenai to Kodiak, about 170 miles or so.

Reminds me of something a former mayor of Baltimore once did...

 

There were many derelict cars in Baltimore at the time -- he always passed a particular one his way to the office every day. He told the guy in charge of removing them that if it wasn't removed within a week, he was fired... then didn't tell him which one it was. Dozens of derelict cars disappeared from the streets very quickly.

 

Now maybe if the boss of the dev team could do something like that... :t0105:

Go take a flght from Anchorage to Sparrevohn via Merrill Pass staying about 1000' AGL.

 

Great route, Hook (sorry I'm OT again) I had to fire it up when you said that..Coming through the Merril Pass as we speak

I know i've been given that advice, at that time I serously considered register on the steam forum and start posting these bugs. But time is limited so I leave It to others.

Only reason I started posting in this thread was because Bobsk8 said earlier flight sims had far worse problems with these bugs than flight. So I shared my expirience. I have not bashed Flight in any way in this thread just told what my expirience is.
