So I installed the update. When I pull up the menu, the number blocks are huge. I cannot see the tabs behind them. How do I get it back to normal?

Hello, So on the PMDG738, I am having a dickens of a time to get the flaps to work correctly with my Bravo TQ. I have set the axis and made sure there were no conflicts but, I cannot get it to register the first or second detent. It registers all the detents if I check mark inverted but not in normal. Has anyone else ran into this problem and solved it?

I too was having this issue with the PMDG and I-Fly. I tried messing with my bindings, assigning parking brakes to a key stroke, etc. and nothing was working. The common theme was that I was spawning/starting from the runway with all scenarios. I tried all the aircraft and actually spawned at the gate and for whatever reason, the parking brakes worked. Weird.

I have both SI and BATC. I have been using SI pretty exclusively for almost a year as it really suits more of what I thought MSFS would have evolved into by now. I get a lot of spam in my email as well but I have to say that really the only emails I get from Brian are about updates.

I have the IFly and Fenix and am fortunate enough to have the MCDU and EFIS/FCU for the Airbuses and the FMS, MCP for the Ifly. All from Winwing BTW. I've been on the Ifly almost exclusively for the past 2 months but will get back into the Fenix or FSLabs Neo shortly. I really enjoy both. The Boeing logic to me is more intuitive but It really is just a matter of readjusting your processes. I mean Iin real live you have Airbus pilots going to Boeing and vice a versa. To start out you need to figure out what you may enjoy more and go from there. The PMDG is sitting in my hangar and I will probably gram the Winwing MCP for that one as well hehehe :-)!

No update yesterday in MP. Or, am I missing something

Yeah, I thought it was supposed to updated yesterday?

Just did a flight testing out the iFly from KSAN-KPDX. Flight was smooth until landing and taxing to the gate. The sound starts cutting out and then CTD. When the sound starts cutting then I know the sim will CTD. Pretty frustrating

Are you able to use the 73's in 2024?

2024 is becoming my "Airbus" sim platform. PMDG 737's no longer work in the SU3 Beta and the Max simply is not very good along with being a stutter fest. I know PMDG 7xx is not yet supported in 2024 but they did work for me in SU1, and SU2 Beta.

I have both sims on my machine with an I7-12700, 64GB Ram, and a 4090. I like 2020 for all the addons I bought for it over the years the main that still bothers me about it is scenery popping/draw distance, and load times (probably because of all the addons I have). I do have to say that 2024 to my eyes has much improved scenery and no popping. I do however have issues with random CTD (SU2 Beta). I have purchased hardware addons from Winwing that for me, makes me stick with the PMDG 73's in 2020 and Fenix in 2024 as I almost exclusively fly tubeliners. You may say better scenery doesn't make a difference at 30K feet. You're right. However, it does make a difference on takeoff and approach/landing. Just my 2 cents

I emailed them about that exact thing. I definitely think there is a market for it

Price just went up. I'm thinking due to this tariff nonsense

I have both BATC as well as a sub to SayIntentions. I do like the traffic injection with BATC but do not like that the gates can't connect to AI so, I generally use SI more

I was hoping that someone could impart some wisdom on me. I cannot get my Bravo TQ to get flaps 1 or 2. I was hoping there was some kind of calibration on the aircraft but can't find it if there is. I have a 737 throttle mod from Flightsim Factory (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1720655855/737-pro-v3-full-electronic-thrust-lever?ref=hp_rv-3&sts=1&logging_key=b2974cb2947025ddce8829ff61ed910d30b7c163%3A1720655855) that has all the detents but even when I pull the mod off, the flap handle will just go up and down when I try to select flaps 1 or 2. I can select flaps 5 on but not 1 or 2. Any help would be appreciated.

Actually now I have had 3 decent flights but again, cannot do a turn (back to back)

I still have 2020 installed alongside 2024 I just prefer the visuals in 2024 over 2020 even though 2020 is much more polished

Because I can

PMDG looks just as good in 2024 as it does in 2020. I cannot get the included MAX to work correctly at all in 2024. IMHO it needs a complete rework

SI switches it automatically when receiving clearance

So I was able to more or less complete an entire flight with the PMDG 738 in 2024! Route was KSEA - KLAS using Live Weather, Say Intentions, and kind of GSX Pro. I spawned on the runway then used GSX to "warp" to the gate, connected ground power and gate, turned off engines, loaded a Simbrief FP (This took restarting a few times), and away I went. When trying to do the turn back into Seattle, trim and engine indications broke again but, I did manage one flight. For me the Max that came with the sim is just not good. I have tried for hours to complete a flight in it but to no avail and I just wanted a Boeing to fly. So, the PMDG does work, but YMMV. I am using SU1 Beta though.

How would I access the Beta forum?

I tried it a few time in 2024 SU1 but the parking brakes stop working and the engine indicators freeze.

2024 is pretty much love/hate for me. I love the visuals but hate that some of the included aircraft (particularly 737MAX) just flat out will not work for me. I am primarily a tubeliner guy so the visual are pretty important to me on takeoff and approach. 2024 is head and shoulders above 2020 in the visuals but dramatically more stable with the aircraft (PMDG, Fenix, iFly, etc) So, I am stuck in a quandry as each has it's appeal

I've ported PMDG over to 2024 and it actually shows up fine. The issue I have is the FMC will stop working, engine indicators stop working after start up, and the parking brakes stop working. Have not been able to get into the air yet
