Look here: Honeycomb Bravo Boeing Family Add-Ons | Throttle Mods & Accessories | Pro Desk Sim I have the 737 Advanced Throttles with Speedbrake and Flap lever incl. Gates for both - Quite happy with these.

I don´t think the ILS issue is related to the scenery, but rather to the PMDG Aircraft. I had this a few times bothe at EGSS (Inibuilds) and EKCH (Flytampa). I have done what other have suggested - re-installed the Navdata for the PMDG's from the Navigraph Hub. Some has also suggested to removed the Navigraph-Base Navdata for MSFS2024. This is thee Navdata used as as a replacement of the MSFS2024 default Navdata). Look in the Navigraph HUB under "Simulator Base Packages" -> "AIRAC Cycle 2603 Rev.3" (the one that is current now).

The A340-300 is an older Airbus. It´s a longhaul Aircraft, but can be used on high density routes, just like the A350, which represents the most modern generation of Airbusses. The A340-300 cockpit looks and works very much like the Fenix A320 CEO.

The MD-11 logic and MCDU is much closer to an Airbus than a Boeing.

Simply don't use MSFS ATC. If You really want ATC, then look for Sayintentions.AI or Beyond ATC.

Still down in Denmark....

Maybe watch this Youtube video why the new PMDG 737 falls short: I bit exaggerated in my view, but PMDG are no longer holding the crown when it comes to "study level" Airliners. Many other developers has catched up and in many areas overtaken them, especially taking the pricing into consideration.

The thing for me is that every time a new Airliner is released, both as a total new or an upgrade to what we had in MSFS2020, I always got back to the Fenix A320. The reason is that it is still the most finished and complete Airliner in MSFS2024. Everything just works, Sayintentions CPDLC/AOC, GSX (fully automatic - no micromanagement), and stability wise it's just rock solid - no WASM crashes or the like.

Maybe start 20 min's earlier in the sim and then increase sim rate to 4 or 8x inorder for the grround to "collect" the snow. Just a possible workaround for something that should be instant.

It actually seems that Active Sky in Passive mode doesn´t add snow cover. From Hifi Sim: Depiction Mode Constraints: The ground snow cover control feature is available exclusively in the ASFS Preset weather depiction mode. In Passive mode, which relies on MSFS's internal live weather depiction, ASFS does not control snow coverage. Sorry if I gave someone hope 😞

If You have Active sky, You can set it to passive mode. Here is the description of AS passive mode: In MSFS2024, Active Sky's Passive Mode lets the default simulator handle the visual weather depiction (clouds, precipitation), while Active Sky (AS) injects its enhanced atmospheric data, providing realistic wind, turbulence (Active Air Effects), temperature, and other conditions, bridging the gap between default Live Weather and full AS control for a more immersive experience without overriding MSFS visuals. It's ideal for getting detailed weather effects like thermals and clear air turbulence that default weather lacks, while still enjoying MSFS's native graphics. Also it will add better snow coverage.

Yeah it´s some years ago now... It´s main issue was that it´s ground handling was quite aggresive, again something rooted in FSX's weird Turboprop modelling.

It was not meant as negative critisism, just a headsup that the JS41 wasn+t quite as advanced code wise hat we are used to from PMDG when it comes to simulating it´s engines. Most people never noticed. I only did so cause I coded the Aerosoft OV-10 Bronco, which also had geared turboprops. We actually got a tad closer to simulate these kind of Turboprops. They still used the FSX internal free turbine turboprop model, but we disguised these with more realistic spool up animations of the propellers.

In my eyes the PMDG JS41 wasn´t that good. IRL being a geared turboprop, in FSX it simply worked like a free turbine, very evident during startup. Offcourse at that time a proper Turboprop model didn´t exist. In FSX the underlying Turboprop modelling was based on The PT-6 (free turbine) and not much could be done with that. With MSFS2024, this might be different. Personally I would like either a proper ATR or the Dash-8 (Q400).

Right now the Inibuilds A340-300 1.0.4 has problems that makes it hard to enjoy it. -Numerous MCDU issues, like Pilot waypoints and Secondary flightplan etc. -Winwing MCDU does not work anymore (SimApp v .71) - only when selecting the FO MCDU in SimApp. -AOC -> WX is inop. - Simbrief loadout with GSX dos not load properly. Actual Simbrief loadout numbers are not loaded into the Aircraft and Fueling is a mess. Fueling only start when Passengers are loaded and I go into the EFB GSX manual menu.
