Just flew the 747 on 2024 and had absolutely no issues with it. I set the fuel, passengers and cargo in the MCDU (INDEX menu, Settings, Fuel and Payload), it gave me CG of 18 which was a 6.2 on the trim. Set that and took off no problem. Flies much smoother than the 2020 version
Shame wind request and simbrief flight plan request is no longer a thing. Also managed to start engines with the fuel pumps off but can do that in the inibuilds A330 as well 
Well, ok, I’ll give it another go.
I didn’t use the EFB load aircraft as I don’t think that works and if it does, it always puts the CG way out which is probably what happened to you. Once tipped a C172 onto it’s tail by trying to add random payload using the EFB
Also just discovered that engines will start with fuel pumps off as engines are gravity fed from the fuel tanks. Need the pumps to ensure they keep running during turns etc as the fuel levels start to run down - learn something new every day 
Doors don’t open.
The colors of the lights on the overhead panel buttons are all wrong. The MSFS2020 version was correct yet they got them wrong here?
still no Cabin Lights
The fuel pumps actually don’t need to be on, you’re only controlling the ac pumps with the push buttons in the cockpit, while there’s also a dc pump that run automatically:)
Yeah I discovered that later that the engines are gravity fed from the tanks and the pumps are only there to keep a constant flow through turns, climbs and descents
May 2025, still can’t fly this thing because of problems with the FMC.
It just looks really off. I cannot find any video or photo reference where it looks like that in the real thing. Someone with more knowledge might chime in.
Edit:
I grabbed this screenshot from this video: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Z9l7aWpqkko (timestamp for 15:05)
So my guess is that is an external part of the aircraft not supposed to be visible from the cockpit.
Filaments to heat the screen?
Am I the only one who gets bad stutters with this plane?
Bad stutters in everything at the moment. But this one was prone to excessive stuttering in FS2020 if you had more than say 10 waypoints on your flight route and is probably the same in 24
Interesting, it works in the freighter version.
The nose door on the Freighter still doesn’t open however
With just a quick, cursory exploration of this aircraft in SU3 v1.5.4.0, I also see some of the same issues reported. None of these appear to have specific bug topics created for them:
Engine LOD - this appears to be specific to only one LOD - zoom out further and the engine re-appears:
Main gear cover fails to close:
Nose gear cover & parts fail to fully retract:
I’m amused that the developer decided to designate this aircraft as a non-existent Vans RV-13 created by John Smith:
Slight typo on this document (“sings” vs “signs”):
and the third sign resolution is poor & mis-sized:
do you guys encounter issues that the game freezes when programming the FMS/CDU?
