August 25Aug 25 Ever since its release, I've been struggling with the Combi variants for the 707: specifically the UNS-1Lw and also occasionally INS. As soon as I select them in the aircraft selection menu, I get a freeze then a CTD. This is with MSFS 2024/SU6, MS Store version.I've tried every trick in the book:1) Disabling all addons.2) Reinstalling the 707.3) Downloading (as opposed to streaming).4) Clearing cache(s).I'm out of ideas. Shame, as it's a tremendous aircraft to fly (when it does!).

August 26Aug 26 Author Thanks for pointing me at Marketplace addons. I'd already checked/disabled what I could - but I took another look and I think I've found the culprit: IFD INSTRUMENTS (Working Title/Flight FX).I'm not sure how or when it was installed (or even which aircraft it relates to). I'll keep testing - but I hope this may help other affected simmers.

August 26Aug 26 I believe that the IFD instruments came out with the AAU-5 update about a week ago and it gives you more instruments variants to the C-182Don

I do ... but it's disabled (as it's for MSFS 2020).In 2020 it was called Airshow Assistant, which has been disabled by default as it is no longer compatible. The 2024 version is now named “Your Wingmen & Air-To-Air Refueling Companion”. So check to see if that is enabled. I disabled it and I can now select all variants and liveries of the 707 without a CTD. This solution was posted over on the MSFS forums. Is it done yet? When will it be released? Will it be freeware or payware? How much will it cost? Any updates on the progress? Will it work for Xbox? Can I be a beta tester? How's the performance in VR?

Things seem to have sorted themselves out now (after a repair/reinstall). All works fine (with IFD Instruments enabled, but A2A Refuelling disabled). Yay! Edited August 29Aug 29 by Adamski_NZ
