Ok.Do you have a gamepad plugged into your PC that you use for drone cmera? if so, it may give you interference.

Coincidentally, they have posted a position for an AP programmer: 

Under the responsibility of the Lead programmer, you will be required to participate in different tasks:

• Improve the Autopilot system currently in the game
• Improve the PID control system currently in the game
• Adjust and optimize the behavior of existing and future aircraft

MSFS is supposed to be a simulation.

Yeah, like Eurotruck-Simulator or (the now defunct) Microsoft Train Simulator

As I wrote above, some people aren't looking for realism and frankly, have no idea how things are supposed to work in aviation.

I guess the dozens or so real world pilots who are enjoying the word not allowed out of this sim and posting videos regularly "have no idea how things are supposed to work in aviation." Got it. 😄

I agree on the topic.

Too many no-fly zones. 
What? Yeah, no-fly zones:

- Don't fly at night because of deteriorated night lighting.
- Don't fly over water because downgraded water.
- Don't fly over tropical coasts or islands because no water masking
- Don't fly over aera w because there is low mesh resolution
- Don't fly over aera x because there is a mesh anomaly
- Don't fly over aera y because there is bad satellite imagery
- Don't fly over aera z because there are bad texture tiles popping in and out of existance
- Don't fly with type x clouds because clouds are pixelated

I guess even real world pilots can enjoy games that aren´t realistic portraits of their daily real world flying. I enjoyed flying in GTA5 and Battlefield 2 and 3 a lot...and would also have posted some videos regularly (if I thought anyone would have cared to watch them 😆) - but I would not even compare those games to the airline flying I have done almost daily until this spring...

Don´t mistake enjoyment for endorsement.

I think this community is obviously suffering a rift, if not even disintegrating at this point - with people like you and some of the other fervents trying to stifle the evergrowing hum of voices of those that are not Beliebers and don´t want to wait this 10 year project out to finally replicate flying in a somewhat realistic fashion. You are doing the game you love so much a disservice, imho.

Most of you lack honesty, you knew exactly what to expect with MSFS and all the leaked beta tester posts.For the more expert among you who know the simulator since the beginning of the middle ages .All you had to do was wait for MSFS feedback in the areas you liked.You knew it was going to be very long for improvement.Now it is point blank shooting,an old activity that continues. To receive the best from a person, you have to accompany them intelligently , it also works for Asobo and Microsoft .The opposite is completely counterproductive.And whatever the reason for its bugs I support them without any shame and with respect and regardless of their skill.If I start to take an interest in your way of thinking and writing, there are a lot more to fix.Sometimes I'm ashamed of you.

I don't understand exactly what you are trying to say - and in a way I'm glad I don't.

There are some comments here that are very close to the edge. Keep the discussion on topic and without sarcasm. It's a valuable topic and if you have a problem accepting there are a lot of issues with the current build stay out unless you have something constructive to add.

I am glad to see some are starting to abandon MSFS until things get better...perhaps that will start to get MS/Asobo attention.  I assume they have have analytics built into the product that can tell them that.   I for one am not as its still better then FSX for me and I can live with the broken functionality as I am not a hard core study level pilot.  Having an AP that can follow the MSFS built in flight plan is core functionality and cannot get broken in a release.  Its been clear that the Dev process for Asobo is broken and despite the promises hasnt gotten any better.  How on earth is the VATSIM partnership going to work when planes for that arena are basically useless?

They already said their autopilot team was the largest team, so I don't see the point for them hiring new developers. I think Asobo has a management problem, somehow they believe that hiring more people is going to solve the problem, that shows the managers don't understand what they're doing.

I really think they should revert back to the old AP and stop messing with the autopilot and do other things. The AP was fine before apart from the oscillations and it's going to be replaced by third parties anyway. Nobody uses the default AP in other sims. We need seasons, a better ATC .. also it would be nice to have chat and voice communication in multiplayer. And of course the most important is the SDK.

I suspect the imminent release of Cyberpunk 2077 is going to significantly cut into my time playing MSFS 2020

From your mouth to God's ears.  My son and I were already in mourning because we were hoping for a Thanksgiving Cyberpunk feast.  Hopefully that will also hope dull some of the pain of my hardware upgrades.   Until then, some VFR flying around my home area is helping pass the time.  As an aside, a 43" monitor and Head Tracking is is a glorious way to experience this sim.....   Quite happy with that until VR is fully baked along with the rest of the sim.

I’ve already temporarily abandoned it until the next patch is out, started playing Crusader kings III.

No, it's was absolutely rubbish, tried to kill you after take-off and during the flight, it was on acrobatic mode. The real issue now, is lateral navigation and perhaps vertical, which we don't know if it's 100% accurate

It reassures my point of view even if you are not for me a point of reference.

For me it's not so much the issues but rather the lack of transparency when it comes to certain community concerns and the dishonesty from Asobo.

I don’t think that Asobo is dishonest. Honestly 😄. I’d say a little (understatement) deaf to the simmer community as the alpha has shown and maybe stubborn in their vision to reinvent the wheel.

The marketing and project management staff  of Microsoft is another thing :  repeating that they focus on serious simmers, like Neuman does, contrary to all evidence so far, bribing YT reviewers and releasing the infamous trailers to boost sales, inventing that transparency pseudo-democratic gimmick as a lightning rod. I see serious ethical sloppiness in all that. 

I was and still am happy to see the old franchise in the hands of a new crew.  It needed that. I am still reasonably confident in the future. This game brings a lot to the table (I liked Virtuali’s long post in the other thread « Exactly what is MSFS doing better than its predecessors?«  even if I dont agree with all he said) but it is time that the team  sends the good signals. In a nutshell, make the present release work and deliver what we see in the trailers.
