tried it on both vertical VS hold and on FLC and got the same effect on both.   the FLC climb was worse but the vertical climb on FLC was higher than on a limited VS climb.  VS I limited it to 2000  ft/min ..  on the FLC I was powering up at 4000 ft/min

Cheers for letting me know the above; not keen on updating now...was really enjoying the TBM...

After the actual patch, the A320neo is ignoring the flightplan and the autopilot function completely - only flying circles to the right hand side after engaging the AP....!

if it's any help...  on the good side, they have changed the range at which the Nav switches to ILS approach and it now means that when you turn final, you are intercepting the ILS reliably, whereas before, you were often missing it as it didn't change early enough enough and you had flown over the intercept before it activated..  just make sure you keep the power up, or the AP will try to keep you high and drive you into a stall now 😉

If that only were true.

The building footprint got all messed up through the japan update. Now there are office buildings were there used to be correctly placed residential houses, all over the place around the world. People have reported from the U.S. and Germany, LNAV of the A320 seems broken...

And these are just two examples of things this patch broke.

Asobo continues their track record of fixing one thing while breaking two others and not noticing it before releasing their patches.

Yes confirm, is bit weird in Germany

That's good re intercept behaviour; I will hope for some swift non-dolphin climbs!!

This looks like a really solid patch. 

Just think of what they will be able to do in 10 years!

yep much better..  just be careful.. if you are too low on power, it will change the trim on you so you nose up via trim since it has no control over the throttle, and slowly but surely it will stall you before you realise it's happening...      best bet now is come in fairly fast and when you are established on the GS,  drop the AP and hand fly it down adjusting speed and adding flaps manually after getting established.  🙂

My 3rd CTD in Japan.

What should I try? go back to flying in the US? Reduce my graphics settings and try Japan again? Any ideas?

I need to figure out the source of the CTD.

Well, it does run smooth and it looks great too, but unfortunately (which you can just make out in this pic and its suspiciously dark cockpit), with the avionics still prone to conking out, frankly it's about as much use as a chocolate teapot. Pretty bad that this glitch wasn't sorted, since it is hardly a minor issue. We are after all, three patches into this thing and actually being able to use avionics is a fairly fundamental part of flying an aeroplane, not to mention that it knocks out your ability to contact ATC as well. These guys need to get their act together on this issue.

seen it in the UK as well..  some of the villages now have tower blocks in them.. looks very wierd.

Is it just me or does the 172 feel a lot better?  Could just be a placebo, but we just had a thread about all the weird, exaggerated torque effect.  That seems way better.  I'm hand flying the thing and it only needs gentle corrections to keep level.  

Has there been ANY good from this patch?? Seems we’ve taken 2 steps forward and 5 steps back. LOD is worse again, AA is worse, screens not fixed, lightning on a near clear day, autopilot having a mind of its own 🤦‍♂️  Are they REALLY listening to us or just toying?

I will re-learn it over again then; I had a really good handle on approach and final and touch-down 😑

yes...  the sensetivity issue got sorted..  personally I am seeing an FPS improvement, it loads faster and the ILS approach is much better with almost no chance now of failing to intercept the GS on an ILS or an RNAV and GLORY BE..  if you change your tail ID or ATC options, they remain from session to session.   Oh yeah,  and now thunderstroms create lightning 🙂

As usual, some things better, but a lack of testing on existing features which have been borked and now fail to work as well as they did.

Sim starts up faster also 🙂 thats nice
