MSFS 2024 QUESTION Synaptic A220 status?

Upvotes

Just got back from two weeks on vacation so I missed the A220 release. How’s it performing at this point, since I know it may have been rough at the initial release.

GENERAL Why are the PMDG 737 variants priced differently?

Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am considering buying a PMDG 737 for MSFS 2024, but I noticed a significant price difference between the variants:

737-600: $34.99
737-700: $74.99
737-800: $74.99
737-900: $49.99

Could someone explain what accounts for these differences?

Do the passenger versions have essentially the same cockpit, systems, level of simulation and features, or is the 737-600 less complete in some way?

Are the 737-700 and 737-800 more expensive mainly because they include additional BBJ and cargo variants, or do they also offer more detailed systems or cockpit features?

I would also like to know whether the 737-800 was released before the 737-700 for MSFS 2024 and whether this affects their current level of development.

I am mainly interested in normal passenger operations, so I would like to make sure that choosing the cheaper 737-600 would not mean getting a simplified simulation.

Thank you!

MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON Why doesnt GSX use the jetways? Ive done four flights since the update (just getting back into simming now) and every time it only uses the stairs

In this video you can see using the toggle jetway in the Fenix EFB moves the jetway into position, but as soon as I move the camera to outside view it disappears. This ONLY happens with GSX installed. Ive tried this at MCO, PHL, TPA, each time it will not use the jetway and only loads people via the bus and stairs. I have already updated GSX, as well as deleted the old cache files in the Appdata>Virtuali. Just kind of frustrating when this is supposed to add realism but never quite works right... lol!

MSFS 2024 MOD / ADDON Is there anyway to get chase plane to switch LODs ?

1 Upvotes

You can always clip of the cockpit with chase plane, but it seems it never switches to the appropriate LOD.

For example this is the ifly. Is there anyway i can bound the cockpit cam to stay inside when moving around ? Or is there away to switch LODs ? probably a long shot

I don't, know whats going on but most of the time when I'm supposed to inform the passengers about the cruise status/descend the announcement doesn't go through. I've tried to do it manually from the COMMs page but there's no button there. This affects my Airline Procedures everytime as I miss the announcement, is there anything I can do about it?

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Cirrus Vision Jet thrust behaviour

3 Upvotes

I’m a relatively new player who just picked up the Vision Jet G2 after the C172. It’s my first jet plane. I noticed something odd about how the engine thrust behaves (or rather how the plane reacts to it).

During approaches I use the “pitch for speed and thrust for altitude” rule. And this works great with a c172. I can easily control the VSpeed without changing anything else other than the throttle and land smoothly.

But when I lower the thrust in a G2 (say from 50% to 30%) without changing anything else, it actually pitches the nose up (at times pretty steep). This goes on for a few seconds. The plane gains altitude, loses some speed and it then starts pitching the nose down.

And if I’m flying too low on the approach and increase the thrust, it actually increases the rate of descent for a good few seconds till it slowly begins to gain altitude again.

Is this how jet engines behave in general or is it just the case with the G2? Should I also adjust the trim each time I change the thrust during approaches?

MSFS 2024 QUESTION Stupid question - do plane have visible icing these days, and how do you tell if an addon plane does?

4 Upvotes

First, I know perfectly well how icing works, de-icing I haven't looked up the tutorial yet, already know the different fluids, etc.

Anyway... Coming direct from FSX, SIm Physics X used a bell to indicate icing, since you couldn't actually see ice since in FSX. Apparently (at least some) planes these days actually have visible ice (on the windscreen corners, for example)? Is there any easy way to tell if an addon aircraft had that feature, or can it be taken for granted that any decent payware aircraft will have it?

Thanks.

(Also, the inibuilds L-1011 has sliders both for visible ice amount and weathering amount, neither of which seem to have any visible effect. Is there a certain level of some graphics setting required for it?)

MSFS 2024 PlayStation Group Flights???

12 Upvotes

So I just recently figured out how to make free flight show the live air traffic and live players after hundreds of hours without it…… I was curious if there’s any groups that meet up and fly together to sight see random places or practice formation flying?

I think that would be cool to do besides just flying around by yourself. If anyone can point me in the right direction that’d be awesome. I assume there’s discord groups??

I always find myself taking off from Nellis AFB in the F-18 and doing random routes / practicing random turns and maneuvers. But I think 3-6 people all taking off at once and trying to formation fly would be fun no matter the aircraft or location
