A way to hold off on those pesky mandatory updates that breaks stuff?

while we wait for the beta update fix: automate text input and mouse clicks with scripts and macros so we don't have to manually adjust up to 50 ASSISTANCE settings each time:

Turbo - that is a genius solution! 

but may take even longer to build such macros than setting all ASSISTENCE to hard, except one or two cheating options. 😊

another option is to fly offline, but that has several other disadvantages as well. at least Microsoft allows to play offline should you be without internet access (didn't know such an option exists, because of REQUIRES INTERNET disclaimer). it does work as an offline account, you just have to be patient and wait much longer until MSFS will start.

I bet this bug will be in official SU14 update

there is no need to fly offline, juts go offline when you finished your flights and you wanna quit MSFS

I clearly remember the story with "white dot". I hope you too

No.

Yeah the White Dot debacle shouldn't happen again, that was an issue two years in the making which manifested itself and got 10x worse in SU12 Beta and not fully "fixed" until SU13, see "Quality Control or lack thereof" and "beta testing is supposed to find these issues so you fix them before public release", two great drumming albums some in the community have been banging for years...!

I fully expect them to fix this Assistance issue during this beta (as they claim to have done internally already)

where did they say they fixed it?

The biggest issue we have noted from SU_14 testers so far is a regression that was causing Assistance settings to reset to default whenever launching the sim. The dev team has identified the cause of this bug and will resolve it in a future SU_14 beta build.

"The dev team has identified .the cause.." is not the same as "The dev team has fixed the bug"

a few days ago they said "not in the next beta build", as the fix would come too late. but obviously Ianrivaldosmith's and a few other's threat to leave the SU14 beta and go back to some other, more serious flight simulator has had an effect on their priorities.  it's about time they release at least a hotfix, before Drunq beats them to the punch again. 🤣

LOL. Yeah, SeedyL said it won't probably be on next build, we'll see. 

It should be an absolute top priority.  One, because it is a regression, and two, because how can they expect us to want to test the beta when it is such a pain in the rear end to set it up every time to get a flight out of it.  I really don't understand their thought processes sometimes.

I am using the online / offline thing for now, and it does work, but last night I forgot to go offline before shutting down, so now I will have to set it all up again next time in .  My fault for forgetting - yes, but it shouldn't be like this.

This has nothing to do with testing a beta and taking the inconvenience on new or experimental features that might not be working properly, this is breaking things in the sim on top of that.  The dreaded spinning circle is back again as well.
