MS2024 - Free flight menu issues since SU1

Featured Replies

Since installing the beta I have noticed that the game ignores some "Free flight" choices and appears to default to the previous Free flight. This has happened three of four times now.

Yesterday it refused to place me on the correct runway at Lands End (default scenery) and kept defaulting to RW27! No idea what's going on there.

Wondering if anyone else has had these issues with the Free flight menu selection?

Why wouldn't you report it to beta forum?

I will if others have noticed the same issue. Otherwise it could be something this end. I don't know at the moment

Still I think you have better odds to find the same issue with fellow beta testers than here

@TrafficPilot Something is off with your signature. It has about 5 lines worth of empty space under the first line making it blow up the size of your posts needlessly.

Thank you! Have reset my signature and removed the spaces. I wondered what was going on there...

It appears to be working OK at the moment. If it comes back I may have to venture over to the "This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden" forum but I'd rather not for now🫣

Hi TrafficPilot,  I'm on the beta and started a flight on a runway at Lands End airport  (EGHC). But there is no runway 27.

Nearest is runway 25. Is this the right field ?

Apologies - it was St Mary's on the Scilly Isles. Just a little bit west of Lands End. I was trying to depart from RW32 but it kept putting me on RW27. I'll try again shortly.

I can confirm that there is a bug for EGHE wherein  any choice for a departure runway always results in

a placement on runway 27.  This was with, and without, Navigraph data installed. Also this problem does not exist in the 2020 version.

Thank you Sir! 

Very good of you to take the time to check. I'm not going completely bonkers then😄

I'll try and post a bug report at the "This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden" forum.

I was having this problem with Lands End before the beta so it isn't a problem introduced with the beta. I only had 2024 for a month on Gamepass and that month ran out before the beta was released so I can't test it again in the beta.

Does it effect Lands End as well then? My issue is with the St Mary's Scilly Isles Airport although I think it affects Lands End as well.

Its alright chap, you come over here for a chat as well whenever you want.  I know you just wanted to confirm things first before maybe making a potentially spurious report over on the 'post hidden' forum. 
Some others don't seem to get that. :smile:

I seem to have been lucky with my first day or so. 
I know I am only flying low and slow and mainly out in the sticks (other than a quick foray over NY without any problems), but other than my initial CTDs that I overcame quickly, I don't have a lot to report about SU1 beta (other than the already know issues of course).

I thank you.

During the "early days" of MS2020 I did frequent that forum for a while but then got tired of major threads getting "hidden" and other topics mysteriously disappearing. I eventually put two and two together and left. 

"Community" my word not allowed.🤫
