Have you cleaned the WASM cache?

Yes, of course. Before installing the update. Just like it said in the IniManager. I can read. 😉

 

I have a suspicion: It was a crash very similar to the WASM crashes the PMDG birds suffered when too much traffic showed up on the TCAS display. The displays froze but the aircraft remained pilotable.

And I had the ADS-B Traffic information displayed on the ND.

are there videos that confirm this?

i'd like to drop 70 dollar on this, but i've seen zero evidence - maybe even just a vid of say taxiiing at 20 knots and slamming on the brakes - does the nose drop as expected?

spot view of a hard landing would be awesome as well

I saw a video of it braking from the outside and it did drop the nose - but only because the nosewheel went under the concrete(!). The suspension itself didn't compress.  I can't find the video now though but I will try to find it.

In the meantime here is a video from V1 Simulations - now, it is a replay so maybe not representative of "real-time" but in it you can see neither the main gear nor the nose wheel gear seem to me to compress at all. Skip to 2:25:00 https://www.youtube.com/live/VZBBNOTb1kM?si=qlrMPboF5DJHBbCp&t=8700

 

Contrast that with say, the ten year old A350 in X-Plane from this random replay video and it's much more obvious (Skip to 23:06)

OK. Just remember then:

Perhaps someone could post a quick video in external view when hitting the brakes during taxi - should be an easy way of settling this discussion 🙂

What in the world made you come to this conclusion? There are quite a few developers in MSFS, XPlane and P3D that do not cheat  on their products in all G.A. Bizjets and Airliners. There are just more over hype products and no substance in MSFS these days.

Please do take a look at the Discord 

That's like going to the Emergency Room to draw conclusions about a city's population - the data is highly skewed.

Just like folks here are trying to skew MSFS 2024 as the most popular flight sim as of late. Its a skewed opinion.

People have talked about being censored. inibuilds must be the only company to not give refunds and say its because of pirating. Even though they could simply give a refund and take away the product from said person especially since they say if you request a charge back we can deactivate the software. Other companies seem to be able to do it just fine.

Who are the folks around here who're trying to "skew" 2024 as the most popular flight sim of late? Yes there are those who're quite happy with it and using it mostly/exclusively, so what? There are also plenty who're using 2020 mostly/exclusively. The majority from both sets of users are happy with their current choice and don't seem to be spewing negativity on the other as far as I can see (and if any are showing positivity towards their sim of choice so what?).

Whether you are partial towards 2020 or 2024, if you are constantly having to dump on the other, especially when you don't even use/have it, then that seems like rather insecure behaviour to me.
 

So in this video from A330 pilot as he is landing, he puts the nose down and it seems to just stop suddenly - surely it would be dampened if the suspension was modelled? This is something that bugs me about almost all MSFS aircraft, the aircraft simply "plop" solidly onto the runway instead of touching down and then settling onto the suspension as the lift dies. It's a huge immersion killer for me.

But it's still a live stream and a few of the pre-release streamers had WASM freezes/crashes. 

Obviously, those cannot be avoided.  And it's a good thing those things happen live, because it helps people make more informed decisions.  I'd be annoyed if I got freezes and crashes, but a youtuber edited his video to get rid of them.  They can still gloss over the flaws of a product by avoiding certain situations by following the brief they've been given.  SOME reviewers still try to make an add on look better than what it is, all for the sake of getting clicks and a free add on.  That's why I tell people who ask, watch SEVERAL review videos.  Not just one.  

The good ones that I've dealt with are Blackbox711, FD2S, DJSean, Citation Max, Q8Pilot and several others.  Those guys are excellent, objective, unbiased reviewers.  All we have to do is send them a review copy, knowing they'll be fair, and to let us know when to watch.  

On a side note, why are braking distances of most airliners so unrealistically short? I could easily land the A350 (empty) and the Fenix A320 (fully loaded) on the 2400 feet grass strip of EDAR. Even the crazily weak brakes of the C172 need more runway to stop. :-)

Any youtube streamer editing out CTDs when reviewing needs to be exposed and disenfranchised.

Not an MSFS issue, 777 handles it perfectly even in 2020.  Not only can you see it when landing but even just change the fuel load from empty to full while viewing from the outside.

You will see the compression and rebound and then the settle as a real suspension should.  

ini looks no different than watching AI land...

Streamers and youtubers are a middle man to a commercial for a product.  It's been happening ever since commercials began.  A great example is testimonials.  Never believe them.  You're being sold a product.  Find a reputable reviewer/streamer, and take their word.  Discard the one's who are in it for clicks and cash or free products.  The one's I mentioned are ranked very high, as far as I'm concerned.
