Sure there are lot of little annoying things but it as for default it is was very close to PMDG or ifly. ifly 737 max especially is very fresh in my memory so it was easy to figure out how setup the flight. Max flew rock solid KSFO-KSNA no major issues. Little overshoot here and there but nothing that PMDG wouldn't done. I also discovered that my copilot actually move lips when talk to ATC LOL

I tried to use PilotLife2 with Beta FSUPC but unfortunately PL2 only detected MSFS2024 but couldn't detect beginning of the flight or track the flight 

 

Did you have any problems with the Generators? I've only tried the MAX twice so far, but both times I couldn't get my avionics to power up. Using the APU instead made no difference.

That’s awesome!

Haven’t tried it myself, yet but good to hear it has promise.

I have been flying the 172 until I log 100 hrs in logbook, then will do the same in a piston twin, before moving to corporate jets and then airliners, single aisle then twin aisle.

Just a little personal challenge to make the logbook look like some natural progression.

No problem with generators, but they were barely lit so it was hard to tell if the available or not. One thing I don't like about Asobo MAX is sounds. iflyMax got it just right. I hope they will fix it soon. 

The MCP font is not even close.  Looks like an Airbus lol. 

Have they at least put the correct displays on the correct screens yet?  It was beyond hilarious that they showcased this thing in that state in an effort to convince people that default aircraft would be high fidelity 😂.

Can you elaborate on that?

It looks to me similar to iFly. Is iFly wrong as well?

No, looks like they've got it correct now.  When they released the promotional material showcasing the Max and touting it as the highest fidelity default aircraft ever, they had the FOs PFD and ND reversed 😂.  Guess someone finally looked at a picture of a real airplane lol.

Tried it yesterday. I thought it handflied awkwardly, and certainly not comparable to the iFly. Tried different sensitivity settings. Several times the aircraft went into an insane bank angle on LNAV and would have stalled if I didn't turn AP off. Other issues as well, not impressed. 

I was blinded by the crazy bright displays.  I'll try it one day can't be bothered putting my yoke back on my desk yet enjoying all the airbuses in MSFS24.

I am finding the standard of these default aircraft is amazing compared to 2020, and other sims. So far the A330, AM 400, Chinook and Max are way up there. Yes there's some bugs, but again, given time and updates some will become top tier.

Yeah the A330s are impressive in the state they're currently in.

100% just did a 9.5 hour flight in the A330-300.  Rock solid no issues very impressed.

 

 

how does the GPU work ?

I tried a C&D with the 737 Max and I can’t engage the external power supply (GPU). Explanations: I remove the covers and leave the shims (normal), I enter the cockpit, I activate the batteries, I ask the ATC for the GPU, the ATC sends it, the GPU arrives and connects but in the cockpit on the overhead panel the GRD PWR does not light up and does not activate when I switch to ON.

Do you have a solution? Thanks in advance.

I see your PFD is super bright...is there still the strange issue/bug where they get very bright in the clouds?  That happens on a few aircraft in 2020. I have only managed a C&D start and pushback so far in the 20204 MAX....

Il y a 1 heure, Flic1 a dit :

Je vois que votre VFI est super lumineux... y a-t-il toujours l'étrange problème/bug qui fait qu'ils deviennent très lumineux dans les nuages ? Cela se produit sur quelques avions en 2020. Jusqu'à présent, je n'ai réussi qu'un démarrage et un refoulement C&D dans le 20204 MAX....

Please, did you use the GPU?
