I have to wonder if these are new AP issues, or if the QA people have finally managed to reproduce AP pitch instability issues that people have been pointing out for several updates now.

I believe only the Longitude and TBM 930 are affected by this issue, so their wording suggests that it's a new bug. Besides 1.9.5.0 seemed to reduce the issue somewhat.

Does anyone know if the live weather and bad looking clouds are going to be fixed with this patch?  Is there a list of what the update will include?

Amateur hour at Asobo ... Sorry lots of people are going to take offence at my comments but at the moment they have yet to prove me otherwise no matter how pretty the sim is.

No definitive list yet. So far we know that it will remove the Press Any Key to Start screen, improve night lighting, flight control authority and pitch oscillation issues, fix some issues with the A320neo, and add metric units as well as the ability to disable cockpit tooltips.

"It’s going to take a few days" At this level it is not just a simple problem of autopilot. 🤔

I'll take this as a good sign 👍

How is not releasing a buggy patch 'Amateur hour'?

This is a professional decision.

Honestly I think a lot of the 'AP broken' complaints have been user error, at least as far as the basic GA HDG/NAV/VS modes and people complaining on the MSFS forums.  FLC has had instability issues on some aircraft, and VNAV and the airliners have problems for sure, so there are real problems, but I've done plenty of 5 hour flights on NAV/ALT AP on the G1000 or G3000 with no problems.  Approaches also have a lot of problems but that's more related to the flight planning/nav data portion than the AP itself.  There are huge limitations to the AP but there are also plenty of situations where it works fine.

If Asobo just provided a manual/tutorial for using the AP I think we'd have much better signal to noise ratio on AP related items. At least people would be discussing real problems.

Oh how terrible! I wonder if Asobo are even aware they have to prove their professionalism to you Maxis. Perhaps you should write a letter to the manager of Asobo, informing them of their duty. My friend Karen told me this can be very effective, you should try it.

Saying, "Hey, our last-round QA testing, meant as a backstop to keep any bugs from being released, worked and kept a bug from being released!" is "Amateur hour"?  There's just no pleasing some people.

Well I guess the bright side is I can (try and) finish my current flight in the FBW A320 as the patch will almost invariably break it!

They release a patch with bugs, you complain. 
 

They delay a patch to fix some more bugs, you complain. 
 

And yet Asobo is the problem?..

The FlybyWire group are pretty quick to fix things. I would guess you won't lose too much time between flights.
