In what appears to be a never ending string of bugs with this game I’ve now been experiencing nearly every flight the PFD on the G1000 172 freezing completely mid flight.  Speed tape and altitude tape go frozen, a white line goes diagonal from top left to bottom right and I can’t get the autopilot to adjust anything.  Any clue why this is happening?

it seems like nearly every airplane I fly( the a320 and now the 172) are destroyed by terrible programming in this game.  Still trying to like it but it’s becoming impossible 

I agree and think its about time MS focused on fixing the basics.

When you experience this, press the FLTPLN button on the PFD. Causing the PFD to display this also forces it to start refreshing again.

For me, I had the glass cockpit panel refresh rate in settings set to Low and it caused this problem. When I changed the refresh rate to Medium, the problem went away for me, for the G1000, Cessna 172.

I am having this happen in the MFD of the G1000.  The PFD has been fine.  I do have the current Working Title mod in use.  I have had refresh rate set to medium.  I have just set it to high to see what happens.  Also, when my MFD locks up, the engine monitoring locks, and my mouse pointer changes to this:  ↨   It still works, but It no longer changes shape when positioned at tuning knobs.

Thanks-  I’ll see if that helps.

We all are being exceptionally patient with this game.  I’m not really sure how all these problems with basic aspects of the game like the simple 172, which should be very easy to create are not even polished up before they are released.  It seems more and more like this game took on WAY to much when it was released.

I am not using any mods for the G1000. So the Medium refresh rate fix for me was for the default G1000.

Got MS 2020 set up today and did a couple of 152 flights. So far the sim looks good, but the bugs crop up on almost every flight, making a flight of around a hundred miles almost impossible. Twice the yoke has frozen mid flight. like the the aircraft autopilot is on , but the 152 doesn't have an autopilot. On one flight I got a CTD.  about 50 miles out. Not very encouraging so far especially since my P3D was virtually bug free and hasn't crashed in over a year and a half. Oh well, I will se what tomorrow brings. 

 

One hour later, I decided to take one more flight and this time I flew the C 172 with the steam gauges, a plane I flew quite a bit it real life. It flew perfectly, no issues at all, stable, easy to control and land and the auto pilot worked flawlessly as well as the ATC.  I was impressed. 😀
