thanks very much everybody for your suggestions. seems the one stop AI ttraffic injector solution is just not there yet, all I wanted was some traffic injector with some GA in it. I don't care for carrier accuracy etc. just like I don't in real life.  still wondering about that initial AI mystery: why it DID work briefly at Heathrow after a re-install of 2024 but never again thereafter. looking forward to SU5 or later then.

perhaps they have working title cooking something up, they have been suspiciously quiet lately.

I don' see much difference. I've been using AIG, FSLTL, and FSTraffic (JustFlight). All of them showed the landing gear issue, maybe the one or other a bit more or less but it is definitely there and kills the immersion.

Do you use them together - as in, are they all enabled at the same time? If that's the case, the sim will often pick AIG models (as those are the most prolific, have more carriers, etc). 

Try removing AIG and FSltl models completely, and keep only FSTraffic and see if that helps. 

Double post.

No. Always using only one of them. But as said, the landing gear issue is always visible. But you're right, I have to disable the the other two from the community to be on the safe side.

Yes, if the other two are in the folder, they will get used no matter what. With FsTraffic models only (plus the native ones) I really don't see this anymore. Is it 100% fixed? I can't say, but certainly it's not anything I see or notice. All the planes I see at busy airports seem fine.

Tried to show the results. If you open in a image program and zoom in, you'll see that the planes all have wheels and it looks normal.

Well thank you, you saved me some time trying those models out.  So I guess were stuck with MSFS 2024 native Aircraft only if we don't want them to float without gear?

Welcome. I just tested neat FSTraffic again but the issue is still there. Maybe a bit less pronounced than with AIG or FSLTL models. Is it for sure that MSFS 2024 native models don't show this landing gear issue. Had them always completely disabled.
