Hello, I’m encountering a bug with the solo flight and circuit training. I passed the exam, but it hasn’t been validated, and the lessons page still says “flight in progress.”

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Thanks for reporting. This is a known issue and we are working on a fix for this at the moment.

I have the same issue, but with climbs and descents.

Well, just passed Traffic Pattern, so all set to do Solo soon.

I have one suggestion which might benefit others: this concerns control bindings for ‘QuickView left and right.’ This is obviously important when completing your traffic pattern. In the Familiarization Lesson the Academy suggested using a combination of pressing the Quickview yoke button (I use the Alpha yoke hat left or right) in combination with the Instrument View button. When doing the traffic pattern you need to look down, and avoid getting obstructed by the window frame.
So I found a way of pressing a single switch instead of two switches to glance down, instead of fussing with pressing two buttons - much easier. Just set the hat switch on my Alpha yoke to bind with ‘Load Custom View 1 or 2’. Saving the Custom view is simple, just adjust to the desired view, then Ctrl+Alt 1 or 2 in the cockpit camera settings.

Sounds good, will give it a try. I don’t like these side views, always have troubles finding my important points outside.
