SimWorks Studios announced GA8 Airvan

I think I may have noticed something. Apparently there was an issue with the 2020 version when used in 2024, which would lead to gear collapse, no matter how smoothly you land.

I think I have re-created a scenario where that will occur, and I don’t think its dependent on your vertical speed, but your ground speed.

I’ve had some fairly hard landings when just over 60kts, and didn’t have any gear collapse. I then tried a flaps up landing, and properly greased the landing, where I wasn’t even sure the main gear had touched down till I heard them. As soon as the nose gear came down it collapsed.

Good news for Airvan users across all platforms!

Starting with Airvan for 2024. The next update is already complete on our side, and the Marketplace package is prepared as well. The only items holding back release are a small number of career mode–related issues, which we want to properly resolve before giving the final approval. Aside from that, everything else is in place.

Looking back at MSFS 2020, updates for both the Airvan are already lined up and are expected to be released next week, bringing those versions fully in sync with our latest fixes and improvements.
