bug Incorrect Aircraft Position for A359 in MSFS2024

[syy0n]

In MSFS2024, the A350-900 appears to have an incorrect aircraft position mapping. I use third-party tools like FSHud, and immediately after loading a SimBrief flight plan, I receive a prompt stating that I need to move the aircraft to the correct gate, even though I am already parked correctly.

Additionally, the aircraft's position on the FSHud map is visibly shifted backward compared to its actual position in the simulator. This misalignment is also clearly noticeable during taxi operations: when instructed to hold short before a runway, I have to enter the runway to satisfy the tool’s position check, because the aircraft is shown behind its actual location.

This issue only occurs in MSFS2024. In MSFS2020, with the same aircraft, the position is correctly represented without any displacement.

Please investigate and advise.

Did you post this on Discord also?

Yes, I posted this on Discord a few weeks ago, and several users reported experiencing the same issue since the 1.0.3 update. I also raised this in the FSHud Discord, but the admin pointed out that the issue lies with the aircraft itself. However, after testing the A350K without encountering any problems, I decided to post here in the hope that this minor issue will be addressed in one of the upcoming updates.

The question is how the tool determines the position. Contact point of the gear, Datum reference of the model? Maybe the tool has just to take into account some offset by itself.

I don’t believe this is a bug within the tool itself, as the issue only occurs with this specific aircraft. Using the same software in MSFS 2020, the aircraft functions correctly, which suggests the problem is more likely related to this particular model rather than the tool.
