MSFS2024 Missing Landing Gear "Bug" - Possible Workaround?

Featured Replies

Hey Nico,

I know that AIG and FSLTL models suffer from a bug in MSFS 2024 where planes look like they are floating due to a low LOD on the landing gear polygons. However, I was stumbling around the MSFS forums and came across this post from a vPilot dev where he discovered a workaround. By setting the simvar for gear extension percentage to 1% before sending a gear-down event, he claims that this workaround has mitigated the problem. Others claim they now see landing gear from that workaround in the vPilot beta release.

Just curious - is this a value/workaround something that PSXT can set on planes that are just about to land (or apply to those that are on the ground), or would this have no effect?

That is something I have to find out, which is not easy to test because I almost never see this gear problem ...

Coulld that be becaue of my LOD setting of 100?

Yeah, that's very possible. Since I fly in VR with AutoFPS, my LOD could dynamically be set to a much lower value (like ~10-30).

Which LOD are you talking about - OLOD or TLOD?

I believe landing gear is impacted by OLOD. In my case with VR on a 3080 GPU, both my OLOD and TLOD are automatically set to below 100 at busy hubs in order to get stable performance.

 Actually, let me try forcing the minimum to 100 to see if the landing gear bug is a problem, or if I can deal with that performance hit.

My OLOD is 200 on the ground and it decreases slowly to 20 via autoFPS once I cross FL050.
