SN737

Thanks, done. https://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,31895.0.html

PMDG bought v3.0.100. Installed GSX update v3.0.7 today.

I own it, and it's not there

No PMDG 737 there

Thanks for the news. Tried it for PMDG 737, pax enter aircraft, walk through isle to their seat and then disappear.

All these type of tree mod add-ons brings stutters to heavy scenarios.

None of this workarounds work, it will connect when they fix the servers. I recommend posting in their forums and make some more noise there, they are surely frustrating lots of customers with this server based Simulator.

Holy sh.... it looks good No stuttery people boarding in jetways, nice.

I feel you man, I was there 4 days ago, until I reinstalled the sim, it worked for a few hours, then got same "checking for updates" freeze. Did you set this correctly: "Synchronize your Time and Region settings. Press the Start button on the taskbar, type settings, and select Settings. Select Date & Time and toggle the “Set time automatically setting" and “Set time zone automatically” to ON. Click on Synchronize your clock to synchronize your system’s clock with an Internet time server. Then click Region, and double-check that your country or region is correctly set up (for example if you live in Canada, make sure that the region didn’t switch to USA or vice-versa)" I wish I could help, but since I changed DNS servers I had only one freeze. I don't understand why just a limited number of users are having this, maybe location, maybe a windows update. I'm on Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, OS Build 22631.3672. Wish you luck John. P.D. Do you use AdGuard ad blocker by chance?

Thanks 4 the quick fix, it works ok now.

Exactly the same happens to me with PMDG 737. I'm gonna post in their forum with this linked. Update: it's already plagued bug reported in their forum.

Did everything listed here and still had issues, what finally fixed it, was changing the DNS servers from my ISP to google ones.

The last 3 days this was driving me crazy, i even reinstalled msfs (this worked till today), your recommendation worked for me fortunately. I had my region set to USA, which was not the correct one, when I switched it to my country's, I had 3 consecutive msfs boots without "checking for updates" freeze. So thanks a lot for posting this. Update: it happened again. So what I did was, signed out of xbox and microsoft, rebooted, re-signed in to both. Rebooted again, then it worked.

My ASFS Turbulence effect scale to fly the PMDG 737 is at 15 with MSFS Turbulence to REALISTIC. This settings avoids the excess of over banking for me. Didn't try MSFS turbulence in another setting though, but, If I'm not mistaken ASFS recommends to set it to LOW.
