I think not, because the co-pilot seems to be more or less a normal size, while his surrounding, chair, yokes etc. is huge to his size. In VR you measure better all haha, VR users are more fussy picky in that.
Noted, I think I know the reason behind.
This is very much related to high latitude and the pink line issue you reported. Looking into it.

Managed to land at south pole, looks like Asobo fixed the polar performance/nav issues, really happy to see that.
The HUD altitude actually corrected itself as I got even closer to the pole.
The only other bug Iâve noticed is within about 10NM of the pole the ND was doing a weird glitch:
Liking the aircraft a lot, thank you.
I really like the idea of you guys being on this post and giving updates/ comments here!

Hello there, nice work on that beautiful bird
As others mentioned it feels a bit heavy on my system too even after caching in direct comparison to other aircraft like the iniBuild ones. Maybe there can be something done by optimization (could be tied to some LOD configuration things or be improved by a different DDS compression method)
However another thing I notice is that the aircraft atc information seems not working correctly. If itâs still partly the same default localization file Asobo uses as in MSFS (2020) you could use the following lines instead:
atc_type = "TT:ATCCOM.ATC_NAME BOEING.0.text"
atc_model = "TT:ATCCOM.AC_MODEL C17.0.text"
for icao information it would be that as per standards (if you donât already have these in place)
icao_type_designator = "C17"
icao_manufacturer = "BOEING"
icao_model = "C-17 Globemaster 3"
icao_engine_type = "Jet"
icao_engine_count = 4
icao_WTC = "H"
icao_model = âC-17 Globemaster 3â can also be "CC-177 Globemaster 3" as per Aircraft Type Designators
Cheers!
Nothing to do with art - Itâs the HTML gauges having a massive impact on FS24 vs FS20!
Its a core sim problem + enhanced by the fact that the C17 has a total of 35 individually modeled displays. Other aircraft (eg. Inibuilds) use WASM so its completely unaffected by this issue: Coherent has a MASSIVE performance impact on FS24 - #5 by B21 - HTML/JS - MSFS DevSupport
A workaround: Set your Glass Cockpit Refresh Rate to low or medium. You will see a massive performance boost.

Perfect, thank you for pointing out 
looking forward to see stuff getting improved by time
That was fast incredible! Keep up that pace (but not at all personal cost )

Congrats on a well done aircraft, this has been a bright spot for me in an otherwise frustrating MSFS2024 release. Thanks as well for being present here in the forums.
One thing I noticed was I tried to use the callsign Bison but there seems to be something overriding it as ATC call me RCAF instead. This was the grey tail RCAF repaint.
Thanks,
Dave

This seems to be a pretty fun simulation!
Is there an option to get the flight path marker to work? The panel option for the ghost flight path marker didnât seem to separate the vertical and horizontal components of the flight path marker either.
Am I missing an option to get it working?
I tried to do a flight yesterday and struggled on 2 points. I did read the manual but could not see anything saying how to add cargo and fuel. Iâd assumed the EFB would be it, but I donât see any response when clicking or dragging on the fuel page. Decided to ignore as there was fuel in the tanks, set up a flight plan and yoloâd. Yoloâd straight into the trees because the plane would not lift off⊠Stick was moving but no pitch into the sim. Sure I missed somethingâŠ
I will watch the tutorial videos shortly and hopefully all is revealed.
One other major thing for me I use Spad and while struggling through the setup of altitude I found that I could turn the dial and it would display correctly in feet on the FCU but internally it looked to me as if the value is in meters? I think 100ft was displayed as 34.nn which I guess would be meters. I trawled all the variables available and none would match the FCU value.
So - specific request(s):
- Please tell me which var holds the target alt in feet
- For real bonus points (and I wish every dev team would) could you please share a list of relevant lvars and events
It seems like every plane (including from the same dev) uses a different scheme - some inputs driven by lvar value and some by events.
Personally, so far, the champs have been tfdi with the MD11 who use input events to drive all the controls but whatâs really great is that they provided a complete list of every input possible and which parameter to use. This is the way
If you change callsigns it shouldnât get overwritten⊠Iâll check on my end. Perhaps a sim issue!
We in fact had to temporarily disable it before launch as it wasnât working well on FS24 (worked fine on FS20). That bit of code needs some reworking, and its noted for review.
This is a âdual EFBâ aircraft - you have the aircraft Loadmaster EFB (located on the left of the pilot seat, and in the Loadmaster station). From there you can load predefined cargo objects into the cargo bay by selecting them on the Payloads tab.
For specific cargo amounts, and fuel, you must use the MSFS EFB, which you can access by pressing Tab on your keyboard. Then click on the aircraft icon, and Fuel&Cargo
Very likely your Hyd pumps are off, make sure all 12 of them are on in the overhead panel (3 pumps per engine). No Hyd pressure, no control surface movement.
The easiest way is to read the corresponding AVARs for autopilot (A:AUTOPILOT ALTITUDE LOCK VAR) , Make sure to read this variable in Ft as MSFS will automatically convert to any units you request.
My recommendation is always to use B events. All the knobs, switches and buttons have corresponding B events associated that can be programmed into hardware using SPAD. I should create a guide on how to find and use B events as there is very limited info online.
Edit: In fact this video is very handy: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/QKlOUs-xtns B events exist for anything interactable on any cockpit in the simulator

Same issue here on xsx - extreme low fps, not usable as is.
as addressed above - known issue, related to a core FS24 bug: [MSFS2024] Boeing C-17 Globemaster III - #54 by LikedHare478430
Thanks - I do try to use B: events whenever I can, a list would be great as it would save huge amounts of time.
Hello, wanted to confirm the callsign issue was a mistake on my end, I was trying to set a callsign in the EFB flightplan section. All good now that Iâm entering the callsign in the right place

I canât seem to hear the default ATC though I can talk to them, usually thatâs a radio volume issue but according to the manual the volume panels donât function? Any thoughts on how I can hear ATC? Thanks
Have you removed the headset from the glareshield? You wonât be able to hear ATC until you wear them
Or is this happening when starting from Runway?
EDIT: I see the issue, will push a fix with Update 1
