Similar MSFS 2020 issue: Works fine in 2020

Bug description: Hi Asobo. When loading the 757 FS2020 package into FS2024 from the aircraft menu, the aircraft never loads. We looked at the WASM debug and it appears to be waiting for simconnect. The work around is to load a default aircraft , then in the Dev mode aircraft selector , we select the 757 and it loads fine.

Repro steps:

Attachments:

This is loading from the Dev mode aircraft selector

This is when loading from the normal aircraft selection menu on start up, the airplane never loads and we see the below status:

Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to follow up on this. We haven’t done a deep dive yet onto the issue but wanted to reach out here before we do. Is there any reason a debug WASM will load but not the release version ( gets stuck in infinite load waiting for simconnect ).

If there is any more information you need please let me know. Thanks again.

Hello @BlueBirdSim

We have fixed something similar in SU5 that occurred when the WASM module was using both SimConnect_CallDispatch and SimConnect_GetNextDispatch.
This was causing issues with parallelization introduced with SU4.

Would this be applicable to your module?

You can also check if this is still occurring with SU5 Beta to confirm this is the problem.

Hi Sylvain. Hope you are doing well. I tested out SU5 and did not fix the issue. However one of my programmers resolved the issue. We had to move the sim connect initialization to after the aircraft loaded.

Thanks!

Hello @BlueBirdSim

Any chance you could provide us with a version of your package prior to your correction?
We would like to investigate this and make sure this does not occur in the future or has unwanted side effects.
