Have you tried with another aircraft? Thanks for the report.

I’ll be curious to know if this can be reproduced by anyone else?

I would try a full game restart and see if it can be reproduced more than once after that.
CTDs as so random in this sim, it could be anything causing it. Harder to debug that stuff on Xbox

If they release a version without a guitar, hammock, refrigerator and other junk, and lower the price, since the price seems high to me. Eye is my opinion.

Even if that’s not the answer you’re hoping for, but the Wilga delivers so much, in terms of modeling, and texture quality, besides all the little quirks that come with it. It is well worth the price. Especially given how many great freeware products where released by GotFriends, I find it fair to pay a bit more for such an excellent little aircraft.

I agree, the price is high for an aircraft this small, but I do think it is justified taking everything else into account.

Never say never, but I really don’t think that will ever happen. It’s part of the same model package and they won’t want to manage separate versions. It won’t save much file size and it won’t reduce the cost (actually, because they would have to manage different versions, it would theoretically cost MORE :smiley: ) so in order to save, what, maximum £5, you’re going to skip it because of that?

You can just do what I did and edit the flight_model.cfg and remove the weight of the junk permanently (and that includes the co-pilot) if you wish (and if you don’t buy it from the marketplace so have access to the files :wink: )

The Wilga is well worth the price asked, even it wouldn’t have those cargo/guitar features. Just based on the care, detail and modelling (systems and visuals) of the aircraft alone.

Hell, the paddle feature for the float plane variant alone is worth the price of admission!

I repeat, it is my opinion, and I am not the one to put the price of a product.

Your loss then. :wink:

In the marketplace version sometimes animations on specific instruments won’t show (throttle lever, trim wheel, fuel pump switch are the ones I have seen not working). The plane can be flown fine as it is only the animation and reloading the flight fix the issue.
Someone else has seen this?

I’ve seen similar behavior when I choose the Wilga as the 2nd flight of the session.

Example: fly for a bit in the 152, quit to main menu, load in a different flight with the Wilga, and then things like the throttle + prop levers, or battery + gen switches, don’t animate. Sometimes reloading the flight fixes things, but usually I have to restart MSFS.

Not sure what’s going on there, I was trying to troubleshoot with my set up but then saw your post.

EDIT: I’m using the version from the Got Friends store.

I tested and you are right, is any flight after another plane (I tryed after the 152 with mod by JPL and after the Pipistrel).
For me, reloading the flight fixes the issue

That was quick - thanks! I have some named as below - are they from somewhere else or still to be done?

  • gotfriends-wilga-gtn750-wtt
  • Wilga-Avionics-CB650
  • Wilga-Avionics-CB650+A275

The gtn750-wtt is defunct until further notice, please delete.

The other two are not from our team, so I have no recommendations.

If you haven’t seen the Wilga tornado video from mykrode (one of the Got Friends devs) on Reddit yet, it’s worth a click:
