Yes, problem fixed by FSX update

Hi Lately using GSX Pro (MSFS2020) with the 737-800 the doors no longer opens automatically when requesting boarding (or deboarding) And there where problems opening the doors from the EFB manually as well, had to click several times and wait. Only me or? GSX or PMDG? Mats

Thanks Aguther Everything is working. And for 4X it's stable. I also set max simrate to 8X and I would say, almost stable there as well at least during 200 nm, didn't test it more than that. Again, thanks a lot! And BTW regaring user feeback: I always use VR for t/o and landings so my input there is that zooming (holding right-click down) do not work. Otherwise no specific problems with VR. Again my "world" is aircraft 4K version, GSX 4090, processor 12900, mem 32K And I'm curious to see how your pull request will work. Mats

Already tried that, it doesn't seem to have an effect. I also asked FBW if there was a way to supress the sim-rate blockage and they told me: unfortunately not. It seem you have it working though, true? I'll give another chance. And BTW it's not what I hate, it's a matter of if you want to spend a day on one single flight. If that seems reasonable to you, ok.

First, glad to have someone that seem to be involved in the FBW development. And I never thought this, from a development perspective, would be basic/simple, what I mean is it's a fundamental functionality supported by the MSFS framework through their Flt files. And it's supported by most addon developers though to different extends. Some addons don't bring all the settings back after a reload, but at least it's doable. PMDG brings almost every setting back while FBW completely blocks it. Well as you explain it, it do not seem like such functionality is planned for in coming releases, and so making it just an alpha release issue. I hope I'm wrong as there ar other pretty complex functionalities that is already in place already at this stage. And so it looks promising from many aspects As I have no direct information regarding your architecture I might of course be wrong. My rather suspicion is that, the more you postpone implementing such complex functionality (since A320 and forward) the harder it will get, after a while it will turn into a business matter as: we now can't implement it as it had gone to far and will cost too much. And I'm referring to both issues, sim-rate as well as load a saved flight. It would be fun going back into coding as I've been doing this for 40 years, but that part of my life is behind me.

Have flown 6 legs with the A380 FBW, learned a lot by watching the very good tutorial videos by the Airbus pilot Emanuel. It seems stable, and none of the usual VNAV problems (that so many other struggles with) and it feels good flying as well. But what makes me abandon this product is the max simrate. It varies between 1-4 X. 4X can be kept during short periods and then the sim returns it to 2X automatically (or from 2X to 1X) and you have to turn it back again manually, probably because of the current FPS (50-90 in my case). Using the 8K or the 4K version makes no difference. This might be ok for those who wish to spend a whole day for one single flight from A to B. For me this is not ok, and far from the long haul standard 8X+ delivered by PMDG and others. The problem is that you can’t override the simrate, as was the case with A320 when yourself could change the parameters. A320 makes 4X. Also saving a flight and load it again, a basic Flight sim functionality is left out by FBW. Could this be an alpha release problem? No, most probably not. The attitude from FBW’s side regarding simrate and loading saved flights has been ice cold for years as I’ve confronted them with these 2 matters many times. I’m running on a GTX 4090 and 12900 processor, 32 GB mem (50% occupied), managing 50-90 Fps and still the sim can’t manage 4X, sorry to say but this is a lack of functionality and design. And to improve this would probably mean a basic reconstructuring of their codebase, which they won’t care for. I now put my hope in a potential iniBuild A380 version but agree with some here that an A350 might be more important to focus on. PMDG's 777 is still the king among long haulers.
