Could be GSX conflicting.  I had similar with the PMDG777 and have had to turn off seated passengers.

Maybe try that and see how you go.

There's a problem with seated pax. Solution has been posted on Discord in the official support channel/aircraft-systems/Max8 invisible thread. Donwload the .xml file and it solves the problem. Detailed instructions in the thread 🙂

 

**We are now releasing version 1.0.0.** This announcement replaces the previous one from a few days ago. The changelog is also replaced.

First, we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to helping us advance the product. We apologize for some delays in getting the next build out to you, however, we believe the delay comes with some benefits. In developing a complex aircraft such as the MAX8, along with the platform of MSFS, it is beneficial to tackle other elements when fixing one. The list has now grown to over 130 features or fixes added. Note that after MSFS 2024 is released, we will begin researching compatibility. We will not have a timeline on MSFS compatibility until some time after MSFS 2024 is released.

**Important: Before installing, make sure you follow these instructions, as a complete product replacement is required:**

1. Make sure MSFS and the iFly Plugin is not running.
2. Press "Manage Product" in the main screen, then select the "Open Data Folder". Manually DELETE all the content, including the “work” folder.
3. Press “Uninstall”
4. Make sure the MAX8 is deleted from your “Community” folder.

The iFly Manager has been updated. We recommend you update that first by going to https://manager.flight1.net

We will be shortly adding he product to the main Flight1 site shortly.

The changelog for 1.0.0 will be in the next 2 posts below.@everyone

First flight. United 1715.

Attempted to take off from KDEN rwy 17R. Flaps 5, trim set, D-TO calculated 48, 120 pax, 8000 lbs of payload, 19,700 lbs of fuel. Slow acceleration down the runway, Never achieved V1 or Rotate speed. I decided to see what would happen if we kept going.

We ran off the end of the runway, past the 7-Eleven, picked up some Uber riders going to downtown Denver, and decided to drive to Boulder for the evening. Pulled the flaming wreck of United 1715 up to Steakhouse No. 316 for dinner.

Might want to go back to the beta.

Changelog is two posts above. There is no mentioning of HUD. You can go on Flight1 discord and mention it

Just done a circuit at Tucson...no problems at all....awesome update👍...awesome plane for sure!!

Works fine here also with no disconnects

I followed the directions and deleted and uninstalled the original files however it was not allowing me to reinstall it on the new app or at least on that management screen.  Fiddled with it for a few minutes and it was still being a bugger.  Double checked that I deleted everything and I ended up relaunching the IFly Manager in the Start bar in windows.  From there I was able to reinstall the product no problem.  I thought I would post this information just in case someone else has this issue if it even is one.

I have not tried it yet so I can't comment on the new updates but plan to try it tomorrow! 

V1.0.0 Is working well.  No issues so far.

Great they deployed an option to loke throttle with A/T on.

Awesome product.
