I want to Like, Agree, and Funny your post Bill, but alas I cannot  :Cry:

 

Informative it is then.  :biggrin:

I got it the very first time I opened Prepar3D before I had a chance to do any thing to it.

 

 

 

 

It has been fixed for v2.1. Until that's released it's not fixed on my PC.

 

The thing is, I didn't get it the first time I started P3D . . . perhaps because I had my throttle set at idle. Besides, there's a very simple work around, so it isn't like it makes P3D unusable. It is pointless to harp on the things that are not perfect, when they have already been addressed, and fixed in the patch. 

 

I'm personally still having very few issues with P3D.  Yes, there are a few things that don't works as they should yet, but those are just annoying.  I actually have a better flying experience with P3D (even with its bugs) than I do with X-Plane 10.  And it isn't like no one at LM is listening to us . . . Their is an actually list of what they are working on, which includes the things that they have already fixed in the patch.  When was the last time a major update was released for any flightsim, that didn't require a patch?

This is only a bug, under certain conditions, , If you have the sim load a default save (that you made, where the sim was paused), and then more your throttle to the idle position before unpausing the sim it is fine. Apparently the scenario screen and start up option was added at the last minute, and this could perhaps be causing this bug.

I really, really, really do not understand what your problem is? It took me 20 seconds to fix it !!! Why did I fix it? Quite simply because I can ............ and so can you.

I absolutely got the throttle bug the first time I ran it. There I was, sitting in a poorly rendered F22 cockpit, throttle at full, executing left handed ground loops until it decided my plane had suffered enough and it crashed. I should not have had to "fix" that. It was an obvious error on the developers part.

 

And how can a flight sim "lose focus" on the main flight screen? How did that ever escape alpha testing? I shouldn't have to "click on the screen" to make that stop. Again, an obvious error. It is perfectly normal for someone posting about the program to point out errors. There is ZERO reason to pounce on someone with negative feedback for doing so, especially when it was his first post.

 

Anyways, I have had my say on these issues. I just wanted to come to the defense of a first day user who was being told he was a little dense for posting on the subject and an apostate for criticizing the program. Any time you tell someone you aren't trying to be condescending, you are probably going to seem condescending.

 

Peace!

Yet another issue that is only an issue for those that regard P3D as a consumer product. 

 

For at least the third time:

 

P3D didn't even have a "Start Screen" or "Default Flight", by design. It isn't intended to be used that way. Those things were added as a concession to the beta team very late. No one, that actually understands what P3D is, cares. It is only those that love to grind axes that still moan about it at this point...

 

...and it is already fixed for the next release...

 

I do think you missed a spot on that dead horse you're beating though, wanna give it another go ?

 

 

Until that's released it's not fixed on my PC.

 

Then that's your own fault and your own choice because you can easily 'fix' it.

Well JvE, it's not like that's the *only* thing that would make a rational flight simmer decide that P3D is not at present ready to take over their flight simulation duties.   People can have their opinions whether the two point oh release was ready for prime time or not, and it all depends on what kind of things the simmer wants to get out of it and whats important to him or her.  I've said it a million times, but I'll say it again, one person's minor issue is another's dealbreaker.

The point here though, is that if you hold up issues that only matter for a consumer title, as deal breaking problems that should have delayed release, than I'm sorry but no, it is your expectations that are out of whack.

 

The fact that we're still hearing about, no, that people are still crying about an issue that is on the darned fixed list is inane.

 

There are no "dealbreakers". The deal is, LM is making a training sim. We get to tag along, and maybe, just maybe, have some of our concerns addressed.. That's it.

But that's just your opinion that there are no dealbreakers...

 

The fact that LM is making a training sim doesn't seem to excuse certain issues.  In fact, I think that it makes them even more important.  This is the real stuff now, not an entertainment game.

 

I'm confident that P3D will "get there" soon enough, but you just have to accept that not everybody has the same definition about where "there" is.  It's very subjective.

Sure, there may be things that will make some say P3D2 is not for them. No doubt about that.

 

The deal itself though is not really up for negotiation. Our concerns are not a priority, and that includes the issue that has been repeated ad-nauseum by Gerry, that once again, has already been fixed.

 

I get the feeling at this point you just like to take a contrarian position for the sake of taking a contrarian position.

My feelings on this matter just happen to be contrarian to yours, and they are genuine. They aren't that for the sake of it.

So what indeed then, is you point ?

 

That some people...don't like...some things ?

 

Really ?  :unknw:

I did fix it, but I shouldn't have had to.

 

Yet another issue that is only an issue for those that regard P3D as a consumer product.

I didn't regard it as anything. I simply downloaded Prepar3D, installed it, ran it and got the full throttle bug. how else was I supposed to use it?

 

Then that's your own fault and your own choice because you can easily 'fix' it.

It's not fixed for those still downloading Prepar3D.

 

I'm astonished at the low expectations some posters have of S199.99 product and the way they excuse its flaws - especially ones that adequate checking should have found.

 

If they bought a new car which when you started it went to full power and wouldn't respond to the throttle pedal because of bug in the WCU software would they roll over and simply accept it with the lame excuses offered here?

 

 

I did fix it, but I shouldn't have had to.

 

IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED

Precisely

 

Alrighty then, well I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I see that was in error.

 

Won't make that mistake in the future.
