WASM crashes across products

1. There seems to be a fundamental issue with WASM in SU4...

2. WASM  is a good 'container' for anti-piracy measures. 

 

Both points may or may not be a cause why some people experience those crashes. Rather seldom on my machine/installation. 

 

3. I'm sure for legit customers WASM crashes in FS24 wll be a thing of the past - sooner or later.

Thank you! Waiting for them to validate my Discord 👍

OK - I have one remaining problem...but it's a big one and I can't shake it off

Typical Scenario:

I have a flight plan loaded up that shows on the MCDU an initial ascent of around 2000' per minute to the initial altitude of 5000'

This is consistent with the ascent angle - confirmed on the (excellent) ascent/descent profile on the cockpit glass display - which will get me to the FL100 cruise height shortly before the first waypoint

 

I get everything ready per the instructions:

TO is on

A/T is armed

Initial Alt is set at 5000'

FD is On

Pitch guidance (pink cross) is visible and at 10 degrees climb.

V1, V2 etc are all calculated correctly in the MCDU

I release the brakes, and move the throttle to around halfway.  The auto throttle kicks in and the levers move forward to TOGA.  The aircraft accelerates down runway.

The only input I am putting in is rudder to keep on centre line.

V1 is called and shortly afterwards the nose lifts automatically.

I raise the undercarriage.

 

The aircraft starts climbing.  The green ascent angle indicator now raises towards the TOD.  ALL OF THIS IS FANTASTIC.  But EVERY TIME (10 tries so far) the ascent angle indicator continues to lift way past the planned climb line and TOD point to almost vertical.  The VS indicator on the main glass panel shows a VS of up to 11000' a minute before the aircraft stalls.  The aircraft then pitches into an almost vertical dive, recovers - but then this vertical pitch up and stall drop just repeats.  Note I have not touched ANYTHING

Everything else works a treat but the extreme pitch up and dive has happened on EVERY flight I've done - ones where I didn't know what I was doing and now the ones where I'm doing it by the book.

Surely I must be committing a well known rookie error.  Any clues what that might be?

I can't find that, do you have a link? Yes, I am a customer. all I see is this:

The really thick blue bar at the top of the page clearly indicates that the registration process on the FSS discord has not been completed.

still don't see it:

"Only verified customers have access to the customer only channels like chats, liveries etc."

how do I become a "verified customer"? more than this?

 

do I need to:

"**📦 Click a button below to register your product:**"

??

Yes, you have to register your aircraft. In my case the buttons didn't work, so I had to contact support (as advised): Please see the last entry in the status page...

hence this?

I knew why I hated anything discord. that all really sucks.

I have to download a ZIP file, run a batch file, upload a LOG file just to read some support thread? ridiculous.

thanks for your replies though!

I didn't invent it 🙄😉 but all this registration etc. stuff is nothing mandatory in discord - FSS is just (understandably...) very strict when it comes to their IP.

iMHO not even worth a sigh once you have access. 

Ultimately, you can use Discord like a traditional forum. It's probably not much more than that. Old wine in new bottles. 😜

can it get any worse?

and I thought flying a complex aircraft was complicated:

I fear I run out of my capabilities supporting you remotely...For sure you don't need to download anything to file a support ticket in the FSS discord...so best you contact https://flightsim-studio.com/contact Mind that FSS is a swiss company (local time 1:44 am), so I'm not sure you'll get an answer before monday...

that's all good and fine, but all this hassle just for a "how to" to better use/understand an unfinished product. 😁

might read my original Embraer 175 POH in the meantime. 😄
