I know its just a demo and we can expect errors but i think it would be fun to list all the possible errors and bugs we can find in the demo.

I have two,

1. The CRJ and Beaver windows are black and non translucent

2. the shadow of the ac goes over the VC

List as many as possible!

Black windows is a hardware problem and the shadows SHOULD go in the VC

What do you mean by "over" ? ???
For the black windows, try changing the view several times or reloading the aircraft.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

1)VC Mode in CRJ mission has VC panel visible but black-grey mat on the outside. IMagine having a blank screen and then placing the VC panel over it. Will post screen when I reopen demo.

2)Switching to Normal 2D Cockpit mode in CRJ gives fatal error. The demo will allow the switch only to hang for a few seconds then report "Fatal Error occured" and ask that you report the error to microsoft.

Help appreciated. BTW both these errors happen on normal settings (unchanged) and lowest possible settings. I have not tested these errors in other planes as I was frustrated.

Check out my PAYWARE quality, FREEWARE release of DominicaX.

In the Aircreation Trike the flight bar moves the wrong way for up and down in the VC (should be pulling for down , pushing for up) In the Spot Plane view the movement is correct so i think its just a small bug that they will hopefully fix before release Grin

Good remark, they noticed it also on another forum.
I just wonder... shoudn't they invert the commands when you are in this trike ? I mean, if in real life, pulling the command makes you dive, it should be the same in the sim with your joystick...

Heres a solution :
1: Microsoft knows this bug, but decided to not fix it because it happens ocasionally. Reload the plane to fix.

2: Maybe try turning off self shadowing?

1) When changing any setting, the sky turns black and the ground turns red. (later fixes in around 5 secs)

2. When the lights were blinking on the Beaver, it also had a flat grey square blinking around it. Fixed itself later.

3) When switching to windowed screen mode for the first time after installation, the program froze at 83% load.

4) If you look at the hillsides in St. Maarten, the houses are still perfectly horizontal, and not "hugging" the hillsides.
