Same issue in SU2 Beta
They did change the LOD system in the last SU2 Betas. But it seems not to be enough
So in SU3 the issue is still present. Is this really a SIM issue?
It’s either a sim issue or an issue with the models themselves. Since it happens with multiple model sets, I doubt it’s a model issue. Also, the fact that the issue is still present in SU3 doesn’t say anything about whether or not it’s a sim issue.
Have you tried to ask in Asobos Dev Forum … ? I assume they are not aware that this kind of issue even exists … sometimes it seems that Asobo dont understand what the issue of a problem is and ignore it (most of their answers on the Q&A Streams let me think this often)
Please go to this Microsoft link and vote Yes, so Microsoft can be made aware of this bug. If nobody votes, then it will just be ignored and forgotten! Landing Gear animation missing in VATSIM traffic - External 3rd Party Products - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums
Sadly, in my opinion, it was written in such a generic way without 95% of the information needed in order for anyone from Asobo to troubleshoot.
In my opinion, salient points such as model matching, gear state variables, etc. needed to be mentioned for this to be a viable squawk for them to consider.
