Emerald Scenery Design | Mini-Max 1500R Sport

Have to say if there was a way to switch out the wood it is the only thing I would change.

I see on Discord (and here) there will be an update soon?

Work on the update continues this week. Hoping to give it to the test team this week as well. I don’t have an ETA on release at the moment, though it won’t be super far off.

I am having an odd problem. I can make a flight, in VR, for any length of time, but if I restart the flight or choose a new flight the sim either freezes or CTD. This is fully repeatable but only happens in VR. All other aircraft are OK. I have tried with nothing else in the community folder, same thing. I have re-downloaded zip file, same problem.

Using Quest 3, Virtual desktop with an RTX3070ti.

Is anyone else seeing this issue is it unique to my setup. Thanks for any info.

I cant say this is anything we ran into during testing, but if others have a similar issue, do chime in!
The only things I can think to suggest for now would be to check drivers, clear the rolling cache (I would try this first), or reinstall the aircraft.

There isn’t really anything fancy that goes into VR support, so I am unsure what would trigger a CTD here.

1500R Sport v1.1.0 Update

The first update for the 1500R is rolling out now! The update is currently available from the Emerald Scenery Design website, and will be rolling out on ORBX and Marketplace in the near future. I do not have exact timelines for either, but the update should come to Marketplace next week!

Thanks for your reply. I tried deleting Rolling Cache and with empty Community Folders and only Moza Cockpit software running other than MSFS2024. Still unable to restart a flight or start a new flight after the first.

In desperation, I disabled all streamed content in My Library, this seems to have solved the problem. Now all I have to do is discover which one it is. :confounded_face:

I love this aircraft, it reminds me of my favourite RC model, my 1/5 scale Bowers Flybaby which I would like in MSFS. :crossed_fingers:

Definitely let me know if you figure out what is causing the issue.
And yes, it is very close in design to the Fly Baby!
