Any estimate for the Warrior update?

[lilycrose]

Been a few days now, and the graphical glitch was the worst yet in a flight yesterday, probably popped in like 20 times in a 2 hour flight. Any update on when the update will be? If it weren't for the SU6 induced 'ghosting' I'd be happier waiting, but it's getting very frustrating to fly at this point.

Here's a little clue for the developers
This graphical glitch appears to happen in all the Arrows

For me it only ever occurs at the end of the flight as that bloody fs2000 log book pops up!

If I close the log book and switch back and forth camera views it solves the problem until the log book pops up again after reaching the next destination and shutting down!

[WalterBeech]

Yes, I've also noticed (in the Warrior) that it appears only at the end when the stupid logbook shows up.

[lilycrose]

Sometimes mine appears at the end, other times it starts during preflight and lasts the entire flight, like it did on Monday.

[Greggy]

Same for me on Warrior2 > Sometime during flight, sometime at the end after logbook pops up.
Very frustrating: I need this wonderful JF-Warrior for my pilot license exercises! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Must be frustrating for JF's developers too. Hope we won't have any new issues after MFS update7 coming in november... :anxious_face_with_sweat:

Sometime during flight

Dang that would suck!
Does switching cameras views solve the problem?

Wonder if it flicks to VR view?

Does it happen in VR?

[Greggy]

@stona Yes, btw as I'm only using VR mode, I wondered if it was a VR problem :grinning_face_with_sweat:

I tried different things, cameras and so but... No results. So just waiting for update :crossed_fingers:

[jmarkows]

I understand that they're doing their best to get these updates out, but I'm chomping at the bit over here.

[Spectra]

It's super unfortunate timing for me - I'm back to (real) flying lessons next weekend after several weeks of lockdown here and was going to crank out a few virtual circuits to get back into the swing of things :) Ah well - gonna have to re-remember stuff the old-fashioned way.

For the devs (from a fellow software dev): Please don't stress or work stupid hours to get this fixed - you all have lives and families and those are more important than us being able to pretend to fly a plane for a few days. It's fixed when it's fixed :)

[WalterBeech]

@spectra Is it really bad in your case? In mine, it bothers me only during shutdown, so I fly the JF W as usual.

[Spectra]

@walterbeech First flight after the update it wasn't a problem until shutdown (so basically not an issue). But next time I loaded it up it kicked in a few seconds after starting. Like others here I could clear it by going to an external camera, but every time I went back to the cockpit it would reoccur within maybe 10-15 seconds. After that I didn't try again - went looking and found it was a common problem, so I can just wait for the fix.

[Ixoye]

I really miss flying my Warrior 😥

[lilycrose]

@ixoye I still fly it about half as much as I did before, once I get airborne I don't have a problem again until landing. But would really like to get it resolved as well.

[YankeeTendy35]

I've eschewed flying it since the update as well, since a few things are wonky now sadly :(

Instead, I've started screaming around in the WT CJ4, which has just just slightly different flight dynamics :-P

[lilycrose]

It's been a couple of weeks since the last mention of an update. Are you waiting now for SU7? Just trying to get an idea of when it may happen. I've been flying the Hawk, which doesn't have the pop through issue at all, but it's not as satisfying as the Warrior. It's great at lighting your hair on fire, but it doesn't have the depth of the Pipers.

@katchaplin Try some high speed low level flight... 350 - 400 knots / 200 - 500 ft. This was at Bonnevile Salt Flats, a few miles West of KSLC...

[lilycrose]

@retiredman93231 Thanks, but I'm talking about things like OAT, oil usage, battery drain, even a Hobbs meter to track time. I'm trying to fly around the world in the Warrior, but I'm more or less stuck in Argentina until the graphic issue is resolved. The Hawk is fun, but it's not good for point A to point B.

[Greggy]

@katchaplin My Warrior is stuck in South Africa! :grinning_face_with_sweat:

[Batfink]

For me it only happens when the logbook pops up, or, during flight if I have co-pilot enabled, no co-pilot and it doesn't happen.

[Spectra]

@katchaplin Oh good. I thought I was the only one dumb enough to try to do a stupidly long flight in the Warrior :) I'm currently stuck somewhere on Borneo.
