Hello @Arantis_Sim
It appears this is a side effect of your static_cg_height being set to 1 foot. Is there a particular reason you have it set so low?
I have checked on MSFS 2020 and the behavior is the same, so possibly something you have done by accident?
I’ll have the behavior of the sim reviewed, as I’m not sure this dependency to static_cg_height makes sense anyway.
Regards,
Sylvain
I changed the static_cg_height value to the correct one (5.26 ft), and that resolved the issue.
It’s strange that this incorrect value didn’t affect MSFS2020, but does in MSFS2024. Perhaps the SDK documentation should be updated to mention that static_cg_height also impacts Pushback behavior, not just the Hangar state and RTCs.
Thank you very much, Sylvain, for helping to resolve the issue.
Best regards!
Ioannis
