I wouldnt start my engines at the stand, I would have an insurance claim against me and bust goes my airline

I hope not!! I enjoy Sharon and Ella Mae checking to see if I'm enjoying the flights on Tappers Airways!

Chewwy from today.

Watch the right hand side of the screen for the first 30 secs 😂

Don't worry, push back is one of the few areas I am expert in 😉

...not sure if innuendo or serious LOL! Cheers, Daz.

Over the past week, i've concluded that I won't be flying the 320 and 747 unless 1. the bugs are fixed 2. a 3rd party puts out something better.  Until then guess i'll be sticking with the GA aircraft until then.  They seem to be a little more put together out of the box.

Haha!
Serious point though, that's never happened for me in GSX. It's always been very reliable for me, doing what it should nearly every time.

Some people only blames the pilots skills. I don’t wish them the frustration when something doesn’t work as it should. And I hope 18th they don’t have to deal with it. 

But the NEO need some love, on systems and flight model. 

i have no experience in flying the big airplanes mostly GA

but many will simply feel like captain of a big plane and be proud even if they only survive the next 3000m 😅

Actually in fairness, that looks like a MULAG baggage tractor, and those things feel really top-heavy when you drive them, so I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if I saw one fall over. 🤣

People always want them in the winter because they are diesel so they actually have a heater that works, unlike the electric ones. You can use them to push back small regional airliners such as the ATR 72 and the EMB 145 believe it or not. They are pretty powerful.

The person in charge of programming these autopilot systems has clearly not the level of competence required. Programming autopilot is very different than scripting video games, you need to have knowledge in control theory and automation. A video game developer for example who is used to scripting quests or things like that in a RPG game will never handle this task very well. So I hope they'll hire a new guy for this and clearly specify on the job offer what competence is required.

Or it's just behavioural bugs that need some ironing out, and you're being weirdly insulting and condescending to the people who are handling the coding of the autopilot.

Wow, thanks for letting us know! I couldn't sleep till now wondering this...

Thanks for the video.

Unfortunately, here we have yet another alpha/beta tester who 1)doesn't know proper procedures, and 2)doesn't know how to fly an airliner.

Hopefully there are enough competent beta testers who know what they're doing to compensate for this guy and a number of others I've seen so far.  We really need good quality, knowledgeable feedback from the beta testers

I assume you are talking about the first video (squirrel) and not chewwy

 

And im mostly a GA guy anyways, but i plan to at least try the A320... I dont have an airbus on x-plane so its as close as I will be getting to one until FS labs  or another study level plane comes out

 

And I assume basic functionality in the MFS airbus autopilot will be fixed.. hopefully by launch if not right after.

Love how people keep slamming the streamer instead of talking about how utterly terrible the Airbus is. There’s hardly an autopilot mode that works reliably the way it’s supposed to.

 

Reminds me of all those people who, based on promotion material, kept claiming the default airliners will be so good because vnav was shown in some pictures. Guess what: that’s another mode that doesn’t work properly, as you can see in these videos.

The challenge won’t be to manage a complex aircraft but to try and fight the buggy awfulness of unreliable systems while you actually know how they should work. 
 

I’m so glad people finally get to see.

"It's a default Airplane..." Comment in 3, 2 1.....

 

Seriously...in the last couple of days i saw so many flaws and little things in need of work and tuning i'm getting more and more the opinion this should rather be considered as an early access game. At full price of couse...

I’m just waiting for people to notice the trees. 😛
