I have my FS20 running smooth and steady but there is one trait it has that is extremely  irritating- the annoyances with loading and flying a save flight. 

Saved flight issues in FS20:

1. You cannot control the weather
2. You cannot control the time
3. Slew is disabled
4. Navigation data is lost 
5. Flight loads with autopilot turned off so you are greeted with a nosedive/steep climb

This means that if I want to continue the flight without issue later I have to use Developer Pause (the only true pause)  & leave the PC on. 

I would like to know if FS24 is the same? Or have they fixed all that? I've never understood why those 5 things are present in the saved flight. Would be great to hear from you all who use FS24!

 

That's a valid question. Would anyone be able to reply, please?

I used saving of flights a lot prior to FS 2020. Then stopped with it exactly because of the 5 reasons above.

I am on FS 2024 now but not at the moment.

I suspect it's once again a licencing /encryption issue. 

Can't have a fully featured SAVE STATE without accessing actual sim data(especially the licenced weather) . There would already be a very lucrative addon if this was possible. 

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if even asking for this feature from addon developers on the official forums would get you a time out.
