Description of the issue: landing gear “malfunctions” the moment before takeoff. It is now constantly doing this. I have made sure my landing gear IS NEW in maintenance. I have wasted an hour and a half getting my mission going, completing start up and taxi only for it to keep “malfunctioning” right before take off. I have NEVER seen a worse release than this “game/sim” in the history of video games. Are your devs straight from Game Mill or what? Anyway you can nearly visually see the tires blow out right before take off. I know this is not pilot error as I have been flying the 737 for weeks without issue.
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue: 737 MAX 8
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you: Every time I try to stupidly play this bug simulator.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
1.took off once, landing gear failed
2. Transfered to another airport, tried to take off, “malfunctioning landing gear” AGAIN.
3. Made sure my landing gear was brand spanking gear and tried to take off a 3rd time.
MEDIA
Please add a screenshot or video of the issue occurring.

Airliners aren’t my wheelhouse but I noticed you’re rotating at what seems like a rather high rate of speed. I highly doubt you’re blowing past VLE but what happens when you lift off with speeds computed?
Concur. No V-speeds on the ASI tape, so performance calculations were not completed in the FMC.
@Gdub337538 since you are asking, perhaps take it from an IRL pilot: The questions you might want to ask of yourself is have I properly/completely prepared the aircraft for a safe departure? And what more do I need to know about making a safe takeoff, starting with performance calculations in the FMC, and possibly FMC preflight overall? A pilot is a problem solver, especially an Airline Transport Pilot.

I’m lifting off at V2. The normal take off speed for a 737 is well within that speed and range. I am not over encumbered and enter all the information that is possible into the FMC.
That was my 3rd attempt. I tried not loading anything into the FMC in init to see if that was what was causing it. Nope, same exact issue as the first two times when I entered everything correctly.
Every single time it is right before I take off. Is there any other reasons that you know of in the real world that would cause this?
As far as I know I’ve been entering everything correctly for the last 3 weeks and never had this problem on 20+ flights. Which is really odd that it just started happening out of the blue and fails at the exact same time every flight.
But I digress, I will try it again and make sure I have everything entered correctly. Thank you for your insight and help.
Let’s continue to work the problem then. Thinking outside the box, could there be some defect on the runway? Am at a disadvantage here as I’m not on the career track, so unaware of the nature of the mission at hand. What happens if you visit the same runway in free flight? Could a lightly loaded Max lift off safely sooner, avoiding a runway defect, if there is one? Or just yank it airborne at 140kts, then ease off as soon as the wheels are clear to see if lifting off short avoids a hazard? Anything else you can think of to test this or some other hypothesis to isolate an obscure game defect?
I too have had a tire failure two times in career mode with B737, but it occurred during cruise at 38,000 feet. I did not see this problem until Beta SU2. I am setting up the FMC properly, so I doubt that is my issue. I am also flying the aircraft after maintenance checks and repairs, so the tires are failing on an aircraft which should be safe to fly.
When I’m in the canine and I go out to the outside camera and return to the cockpit camera, the screens are black and before changing the camera they worked well (it happens in all the planes on the xbox) and the cockpit when I start free flight the cockpit is pixelated
