Sick and TIRED of the bugs in this software!

Oh boy, where to begin.
The ongoing never ending problems with this software. From day one, I have had to constantly battle with restarting FSiPanel because it can't detect my license or contact the license server. Constant issue, sometimes I need to restart FSiPanel up to FOUR OR FIVE TIMES before it will detect the license and open.
The inability for FSiPanel to detect aircraft and airport changes. 99 percent of the time, you're either forced to restart your flight, or restart the damn app because it can't detect changes. And then you're faced with the joy of wondering on which one of the next 5 attempts its going to detect your license. Pure joy when you've already waited for 5 plus minutes to load into the airport, get FSLTL up and running, get your cockpit set up.
But wait, once you get the flight loaded and the software up and running - there's no guarantee that it will work properly. PMDG 777 - working fine somedays other days not so much. Half the time the FMC is not programmed properly, doesn't input the arrival airport, doesn't detect your POS/INIT, picks the wrong departure runway despite what the FSiPanel position page says, doesn't fully enter in waypoints if there is any FMS messgaes on the screen, stops inputting waypoint lat/long after first WP is inputted, doesn't input the WP's into the flight plan. Sometimes restarting the flight works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes restarting the app helps sometimes it doesn't. Please see included video. Notice this is a fresh start in a clean panel loaded for runway aircraft. Nothing has been inputed into the FMC. I have piced CYUL 24R as departure and IT STILL INPUTS 6L. It never inputs the waypoints after the error message comes up on the FMC. Tells me that the programming is done enjoy your flight! Then proceeds to keep inputting more infomration into the FMC and displays another Enjoy your flight message. There are SERIOUS issues with bugs in this software and how its programmed.

All and all, not a fun experience for an app that could be outstanding, but at a 50 dollar price point I expect it to bloody well work EVERY TIME. Maybe focus less on adding these damn training scenarios and new fangled flows screens, (which still are wonky as fuck), and more on fixing the core issues of the software which seem to be stability and consistency. I'll tell you this, if there is an upraded addition for 2024 of this app, I will NOT be purchasing it until these core issues are ironed out.
