Hi and bye, cause this will be my last post in this thread. 1. This is getting ridiculous. When and where did I tell or write my intention was to open a list of bugs to be report to MS? I said report, true, but to our own community, to be know by those looking or lurking for a problem. If later that could be convenient or not, to be transported to MS is another story. 2. If the official forum for MSF is in Steam, which is true, what the hell are we doing here? Every answer or question should be there, isnt it? I move right now and will suggest to the administrator of this forum to move all the post over there too. They are doing nothing here. 3. just a suggestion, read what is written, not what you suppose is written. Mostly of the people is clever enough to say white if they want to say white, no need for translation to any other color. Do that, or stop trolling. 4. I came to this forum looking for information. And found valuable one. Thanks for it. My only intention was to give some pay back in return for those new members that are starting, like me, to avoid some of the hassle I had, getting the information in just one place, instead to have to be looking thru a lot of posts. 5. See you in Steam forums.

Yes, they are reported in a proper place, named MICROSOFT, not anywhere else or Steam, that is just a vendor, the only bug you can report there is if your order is not delivered. But I didnt expect this thread to be a report, just a database of reproducible bugs, intended to help others to know when some cirscumstance is just happening to them or a well known bug in the program. Too, if someone wants to take the job, databased bugs can be later reported properly to MS thru their usual conducts. But honestly, until now the only replyes this thread had were non constructive ones, so really why to carry on with the task? I am too old to waste my time reading non constructive posts or writing constructive ones that nobody cares or welcome. Sorry if i was an annoyance for you.

RoboRay, i think i dont need to remember you that this is a game after all. Being that the plane is virtual and nobody told me i have to remember what was my last plane used and where i left it, in RL you cannot close session in a flight and say, ok, i will carry on next month with this. Even more, this is caused because the game offer you the facility to change planes on fly, and never better said. So you can take off with a mustang and land on a RV-6, which in RL cannot be done. So if the game causes the issue, the game should have the tools or warnings to avoid those crashes. So as an old programmer myself i think this issue could be corrected in a very easy way. Provided the actual position is going to give a crash to a new plane you select, just make it appears on the air, at the end of the day is what it does after the crash. Same situation can be reproducible too with an RV-6 or ICON and some other big plane later. just put the small plane in some place near a wall, house, etc... where it keeps very tight, now select a big plane and there you go with your crash.

Hi @ll, I think that one good thing we could do as community is to report those bugs that can be reproducible by ourselves or others in their computers. I will start with those that I found myself. 1. Missing AC This has been exposed in other thread, basically is that when you hunt for an AC your radar is working, but you can be on top of it and being unable to see it. Usually it happens after you make Alt+Tab to some other programs several times. Can be corrected just closing Flight and running it again. 2. Missing Jobs If you accept and start a job and later you crash you can re do the job reinitializing it or from a control point. But, if for some circumstance you need to close Flight for some reason (your wife wants a lift to supermarket), it will ask you if you want to abandon the job, and the only option is Yes or Cancel. Once you start the game again you will find that that job is missing from job's list. I think that not being a proper bug in code is a bug in conception, it should have at least an option for a control point, or at least to have the job on the list at a later time. 3. Crashes as gifts Flight states that if you close the game, next time you play it your plane will be in the same position and condition as when you closed it. And it's O.K. but now try this: Go to hangar and choose the ICON plane, then in the map put it in middle of sea and select Free Fly, then you are flying over the sea. Now land on sea and go to the hangar again, select another plane and back to Free Fly, there you go... nice crashing by courtesy of Flight. Now you select Fly and then it appears correctly flying. Developers didn't think about this facility of changing planes could affect some of them. I am waiting for yours, then i will test them and if reproducible i will edit and add them to the list.

Yes, it is a bug in Flight, I narrowed the problem to when you make Alt+Tab to look in your browser for some clues several times or have a look in some other programs. If you play only Flight and dont change to any other program in your PC it stays showing you the AC all the time. As soon you start to do some surfing with browser or any other thing, sooner or later, radar will show you the distances but you never will see the actual AC. It can be tested playing in multiplayer mode, with one player watching them and the other being unable to see them.

hi, I tried again this morning and yes, it works fine, so i could have been confused, so only RV-6 and Mustang can perform inverted flight in MSF. As per your question, the answer is not, I tested it in both ways, with pump on and off with same results. Boost pump is primarily to prime the engine for cold start. Still surprise me that Stearman can not do it (???)

Hi there, After I did learn to fly inverted it comes that this only can be done with Mustang plane, all the rest I tested (Hawaii pack) after i got inverted it lasts for about 10 seconds, then the engine stops. Any idea?

Hi, I am a total noob to sim and found flight a more than acceptable entry level. Saying this I am not noob to navigation and winds, as a hoobist sailor in RL, so say the sail is just a vertical wing, but the same physics apply. I had the same problem as you have in RV6, slightly turning to left but i realized it was due to another trim, the pitch one, as this is not simmetrical with the plane, just in the left hand side, which means that if you have it adjusted to produce a smooth nose up or down it is affecting to your heading as it will produce an aerodynamical brake. on the left side. It can be too appreciated when taking off or taxiing (so running on wheels) if the plane has enough speed to make the air brake a factor. Graphics on flight are accurate for some planes, and on some of them you can see the movement of those small parts of ailerons whilst in ground, whilst others are provided with the facility but it doesn't show up on graphics. The tip about center those controls is fantastic, sadly it cannot be applied to pitch control (I tried CenterPitchTrim to not avail) but i will carry on looking around for it. Just my final tip, instead to have to press several times the desired button to get the effect that you want you can add to your standard.xml file, after the Pitch/Roll/Yaw increment/decrement the following sentence: <Repeat>32.000000</Repeat> Then just get the button pressed and it will produce slight increasing on the control. Many thx to all those that lurked before me on that file and provided me with the clues to understand how it works.
