The avionics failure bug is the end of the line for me

[styckx 1,872]

This has been amping up for a bit now since the patch on the official forums and I myself am personally OVER IT..

I caught the entire failure on video now..  This happens MULITPLE times a flight. NO COMMUNITY addons..  Doesn't matter what plane you're in... 

VIDEO

Flying to a VOR when suddenly.. Avionics abruptly fail, AP disengages the whole nine yards...  Nothing you can do except flip the avionics switch off then back on to correct it..  IF you're lucky. Some planes there is no recourse. You're simply left without avionics.  Only left to *wing it* or restart your flight. These kind of bugs are absolutely criminal and we shouldn't have to wait a month for it to "maybe" be fixed.

I am with you on this. Even the steam gauge C172 is unflyable now. I wonder if there is even one aircraft in this simulator that is as of now, not a total [word most definitely not allowed] mess. If there is, please someone let me know.

I had some odd problems prior the second patch. So I accidentally reset app and was forced to reinstall the whole sim again. Now, while it was drag it solved all my problems before after the second patch. So day after I installed second patch and now I do not have this  electrical issue like other people do. I wonder if my complete reinstall was a reason for that.

No, it wasn't your reinstall. It was the latest patch..

I've never seen a `game' continue to  get more broken as the devs try to fix the release problems.   

Even to a casual this game is unplayable.  Seriously. Whoever is in charge of QA should be fired.. Stevie Wonder would have noticed these problems.

Is it a driver issue? Do folks with AMD cards experience the same problem? What else did you change/do?

Did you delete and then reinstall MSFS?

etc. etc.

Without any of this information, your post is just a rant, with no informative or productive value.

Your claim that it is "the latest patch" is unsubstantiated.

I  have this same problem, having to cycle avionics off and back on to get my Autopilot to work. I thought it was my GoFlight hardware, good to know it isn't the hardware.

This situation started after the Patch....

I`m not seeing this problem, have the latest MSFS patch and bought the Carenado Ovation today and my sim is perfect.

Can either of you provide full replication steps to reproduce this behavior consistently and easily?  

I don't have either of your experiences.  I just had a wonderful flight through Yosemite with the C172 and it was easily flyable.  And NOT one plane I have had has had the Avionics just turn off.  I understand you have a video, but unless it is easily replicated with consistent repeatable steps,  then you really have nothing more than what might be an environmental issue unique to your installation and not with the program.

So before you call for the head of QA to be fired, perhaps you should chill out on the hyperbole, and actually help the team track down this issue and make sure it is a product issue and not an issue with your system.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Fly any airplane

2. Just wait

End of steps...

Pretty sure my video, this thread and the official forum thread of countless complaints of this same exact  is enough..

I paid $120 for a simulator to fly planes, not to be a freelance debugger..

Unfortunately this is apparently a recurring BUG, (perhaps in the core code), affects most airplanes and was reported long time ago. It has nothing to do with GPU brand.

We tried to; since Alpha day 1. IMO Zendesk is a joke.
Just take a look at the MSFS forums today, it is full of reports about the same issue, on different planes.

This happened to me for the first time yesterday in the 172 on a 20 minute flight.

Not sure of the need for the hyperbolic reaction, though 😁 It'll get sorted.

[Jetman67 517]

Same here happening in the c172 after last patch, I hope they fix this quick

1. Loaded up the TBM 930

2. Completed a flight with no issues (othere than the usual quirks)

You continue to throw a temper tantrum without providing any kind of productive information.
