It sounds like it’s more of a sensor issue and the pilot not understanding the engines and sensor are slightly further forward on the plane.

There’s no way they’d let it continue to fly if it had the exact issue you’ve described surely?
A software update isnt just a case if popping a usb stick in and you're good to go, there will have to be a load of testing to confirm that the new code runs correctly, and there aren't any other bugs that have been created while this one is fixed, that isn't going to happen overnight.
