Same behavior for me, I just dont bother with it, but it would be nice to have the Hi IFR map working. Hopefully, it can be fixed, I have Navigraph, and the terminal charts work fine.

AHA, I was so focused on the screen and mouse i forgot about those, that worked! Thank you so much for the quick response 🙂 Jack

I'm at KATL trying to set up a flight, in departure the SID that I want to use is below what's visible in the pull down, there is a bar on the right, one would think you could click and hold with the cursor and pull it down right? But that doesn't work, maybe its my control setup, has anyone else figured this out, there must be a way... HELP!

Just installed a 64G upgrade and on my slightly older system (i9 12th gen, 3080) it has really helped, the cockpit at the gate no longer is like syrup. So, for any that might be wondering, it's money well spent!

Your screen shot shows you above the glidepath, perhaps that's why? I've landed KLAX and it showed GS and autolanded.

Personally I think it flares a bit early, at least for autoland, it does it at 50 ft, I'd wait til 40, but oh well. Did you stop looking after 60? I've so far only done autolands and all I can tell you is it always flares and always says so, maybe if you disable the autopilot you don't....

Ya, I still don't have all the controls set, I keep toggling between a 2020 setup, but then walkaround doesn't work, but 2024 setting i really hate in the cockpit. A pox on Asobo for this hassle, lol, I've finally consigned myself to getting used to a few things being different in 2024 and just moving on. Like you, I had 2020 working first also, but now I just updated my memory to 64G and the laggy problems in the cockpit are gone, so now the real hindrance to the new sim is gone. Jack

Of course, given the quality of ATC one might argue this is a feature 🤣 The transponder is controlled by the MCDU, it's another of those gotchas, top bar see rather than FMS look for SURV, there you will find what you need.

PMDG make Boeings, I have been their customer since FS2004 myself, so I understand. But that means you get used to how Boeings do things. This thing behaves differently, and it takes some getting used to, that's all I'm saying. It DOES work, I've completed a number of flights now, and its very cool when you get it sorted. I'm sure you will. Cheers, Jack

Maybe I'm being dense, but what does the "toolbar handle" mean? What other controllers do you have? I don't have anything fancy, just a logitech joystick and old Saitek rudder pedals, but its adequate. This is the video that really helped me sort my setup out, I recommend it:

BTW, this is documented in the manual... some say this isn't a "study" aircraft but all these misguided bugs mean you obviously need to RTFM, is that study?? 😀

It's not a Boeing 🙂 Set lower altitude and then get a down arrow below the knob and left click the mouse.... that gives it an FMS controlled descent.

You are posting this in the 2024 tree 😞 Second, it tells you how to validate your Navigraph account, you need to do it for each sim.

I saw this as well, I had the FMS on the progress page for a couple hours (not that long) and when i went back to flight plan it was gone this way. No need to copy the plan, see that up arrow symbol at the bottom, I pressed that and it came back in view, no way of knowing if this matches RW behavior or not.

I you set the "Destination" and "Approach" correctly in your flight plan then the frequency is set.

Which airport and approach, there are a few out them out there you know 🤨

Even after you taxi, if you stop briefly somewhere along the way, with the toe brakes, I've seen it get "stuck" but as suggested if you tap the brakes and apply power again it will get rolling. What if you try different gates or even different airports to see if the behavior is the same?

Trying to start a plane this complex on the runway is NEVER going to work 🙂 Start at a gate and follow a full cold and dark startup, then see how things go. Good luck, Jack

OH, and I almost forgot, I installed the reduced cockpit textures, have you tried that? Even that did not solve the syrup effect at the gate really. My new memory is also faster DDR5 dimms so I hope to go back to the normal textures, but that is worth a try.

It's funny, with the 2024 version, it was really mushy in the cockpit at the start of a flight, making it a bit tricky moving the camera around, this was at KLAX, default scenery. But once in the air I don't have that problem, I did a flight to KATL and the whole way there was ok. I was really worried it might be laggy on the final also, but surprisingly it was not, the landing went very well. I have 64G memory upgrade arriving tomorrow, who knows with that maybe I will finally make 2024 my default 🙂

How do you do an approach? Are you flying a STAR, normally that would dump you into an IAF for an ILS approach right? That entry fix will have an altitude as well, and you should have your descent set up so you arrive at that fix with everything you need set, the only thing one needs to do is press the APR button, and activate the other FMS (at least I always do, I've seen some say that isn't necessary). Do you see the localizer activate? BTW, I've now done KLAX-KATL, a Delta flight, landing 27L, and this time on 2024. Still have some performance issues, but everything worked. Looks to me that your problem isn't the plane, its procedural or data. I have always had a Navigraph subscription, I recommend it. Cheers, Jack

How much memory do you have? My system has 32G and this has me seriously considering upping it to 64, its not that expensive really.

My first "kick the tires" flight, KLAS-KLAX, is complete! Been a couple days trying to figure things out, but finally got into the air, and I gotta say, I LOVE this plane. Used to fly the FF in Xplane, that was always an exercise in frustration. I like this flight because it's quick, but it lets you test all the essentials. From start to finish everything worked, landed ILS25L, used Autoland. So, sure this doesn't mean there aren't problems, of course there are, but someone claimed this was a "catastrophy", and thats ridiculous, for a release this plane is glorious, and it will only get better. Thanks for this Inibuilds! Jack

I just completed a flight KLAS-KLAX, landed ILS25L, and it captured flawlessly, so you need to provide more data, this is not enough to help anyone debug your problem. What airport, what runway, any other pertinent detail. Inibuilds is inundated with stuff right now, just saying things like "no workie here" doesn't help. Yes, there are issues, we need to be a supportive community, and actually help them in order to help us 🙂 Jack

FYI, this weird behavior seems intentional, it happens in the 2020 version, and when I found that, I checked the A320 and it does the same thing! For now, just remember to not turn the beacon on til you have the APU online 🙂
