official Microsoft msfs forum to be closed for hours soon.
Maybe they are going to purge the idiots from the system? Probably useful downtime if so.

Missing landing gear saga in MSFS 2024 ...
Anyone who says that the issue is not present/has been fixed is just plane wrong. In fact, it also affects user aircraft. I can see the wheels of my PMDG 737 disappear beyond a certain distance.

BlueBird Simulations 757: The Ultimate Feature Breakdown
The initial release will be the 200 passenger version, with winglet and no winglet options, and two different engine types. The 300 will be a free update when it becomes available.

Oshkosh 2026
Gary Summons (UK2000) recently released KOSH Wittman Regional for MSFS 2020 and 2024. That is the standard airport scenery, but he is very keen to develop an Air Venture version at some point next year. That will take a considerable amount of time and preparation, which is why he has decided to do it separately from the main airport product release.

PMDG 737 update 4.00.057 available in OC3
That's great, but........where is that 777 update? You know, the "bouncy castle fix" update 😉

I think he was being sarcastic.

PMDG 737-800 BBJ2 range
I look at the scenery until I engage manual control at around 1500 feet. Then I glance at the scenery for the rest of the descent 😉

BlueBird Simulations 757: The Ultimate Feature Breakdown
Is the Bluebird Simulations 757 going to be released with passenger and cargo versions, or only passenger?

If you could buy only 3 addons from now until FS2028...
It does not work in AI Offline mode. At all. That is the problem.

PMDG 737-800 BBJ2 range
There are multiple runways at KBOS Boston International, and I would use all of them. Final approaches to some of them will take me close to downtown Boston, so I would need it.

Happier at 2560x1440
I use TAA (which is SSAA for any DSR enhanced resolutions), but I think that there is also a separate setting for DLSS.
-
PMDG 737-800 BBJ2 range
I am always tempted by FlyTampa KBOS, but I think that I would also need SamScene Boston to complement it.
-
PMDG 737-800 BBJ2 range
The maximum range with full auxiliary tanks is up to 6000 nautical miles. That is twice the distance from EGKK-KBOS.

BlueBird Simulations 757: The Ultimate Feature Breakdown
This one is definitely on my target list. Ease of use right from the start is very important to me with simulated aircraft, and the 757 systems will be very similar to the 737NG. I am glad to see that the two engine options will be included in one package, as that kind of variety is exactly what I look for. I love hearing different engine sounds for different engine types, and also noting the differences in performance.

Happier at 2560x1440
I set DSR to 1.5x in the MSFS 2024 graphics menu. I also have TLOD @ 250 and OLOD @ 200. None of this 100/100 nonsense. I also have framerate set to Unlimited, and I do not bother checking the figures. Whilst I always fly in calm weather, I do generally use a Custom Scattered Clouds option that has three layers. I do not currently have animated AI planes active, but I do have static AI aircraft that are placed based on the AIG flightplans, and I have the entire database of AIG models and flightplans installed.

I think quite a few other users would be better off dropping the screen resolution down from 4K. The latter is part of the problem in many cases.

Missing landing gear saga in MSFS 2024 ...
"I can reopen the subject internally, but I would need you to provide me with as much material demonstrating the issue as possible. So if you can record videos showing obvious objects disappearing on ultra wide screens or in VR, this would help a lot." That is a quote from the MSFS Forum on April 28 this year. How can you have reached 2026 without already knowing about this issue?? It has been a problem for over five years!!

IniBuilds ENSB Svalbard Longyear
That was actually the case for me recently with LOWI Innsbruck. I had purchased the IniBuilds version for MSFS 2024, thinking that the hand crafted version of the airport was the same as the one in MSFS 2020. Then I noticed a couple of issues with the IniBuilds version that annoyed me, and I uninstalled it. I then decided to check out the hand crafted version in MSFS 2024, and discovered that it had been significantly updated, and is every bit as good as the IniBuilds version. Even better, those "issues" that I noted with the IniBuilds version are not a problem in the hand crafted version.

The title of the thread is very clear. People are just not reading it properly!

PMDG WASIM Issues
I have been flying a few of them today, and they have all worked fine. I have heard reports that saved panel states from before installation of the update may be the source of the problem. If you use those, then it is probably a good idea to delete them (back them up first).

I certainly hope that is the case. Long term stability would suit me just fine.
