I have discovered that this plane has a Tutorial folder containing a pln and flt file. Is there no textual description for this tutorial describing the steps and what to do ?

I tried those suggestion for a VFR view. Then if going to a instrument view and then going to this VFR view my position was ahead of what I set as VFR view. Not much but still in need to be corrected. There is another side of this question. In real life you dont have camera positions set up. Actually when I first loaded this plane I only used the main view. And it was rather awkvard to see everything. Of course I suppose the flight officer would handle the controls on his side. But still on my side some things was a bit inconvenient. For example the rear part of the overhead panel. This was in VR

The incorrect captain view has my eyes placed in front of the instrument panel no zoom can help here. And I don't use zoom in VR. When first loading the plane and activate VR I first say space (voiceattack) and then move forward. Now that view is correct. But now I can't cycle the instrument views. I can activate a instrument view with an assigned button. And after that I can cycle the instrument views. But I never get to the initial view but instead a view with the camera in front of the instrument panel

I have problem using different cameras. First I discovered that there are from start preset 'instrument views'. If I first select one of these I can cycle through them. But the captain seat is wrong it is placed to far front. This is not the same view as when the plane is first loaded up and I press space (I use VR but the problem also show in 2D). How do I edit an instrument view and then save it ? First when in the startup view I can't cycle the instrument views. This is also the case if I load the captain view as a custom saved camera. How to best resolve this ? How do you do ?

That didn't work for me. I was in VR could that be the reason it didn't work ?

Yes I have also seen the checklist go blank like that

What is SPAD ? According to the 146 manual I should see lvars in developer menu behaviour. There I find the name PED_MID_Eng[1-4]_throttle_shaft_VC Has anyone been able to assign buttons to these fuel pads with FSUIPC ? I have not for this plane.

Yes that worked. Regarding the four knobs turning fuel off or on is it possible tio assign them to a button ? Hovering over them with the mouse don't give a name for them

I have just purchased the 146 Professional and also updated it. I can't assign a lever to the throttle. I use a TM Hotas Warthog and in FSUIPC assign one of its throttle lever to 'throttle' in FSUIPC. It does not work. Either nothing happens when I move the Lever or it makes sudden jumps in position. I have checked that nothing is assigned to the throttle in MSFS own axis assigments. I have also assigned the speed brake (spoiler) to the left throttle lever. And here everything works as intended. Only throttle seem affected. Also tried clicking the small lever to get it out of cut off detent. Still it wont work. Anyone recognises this problem ?

I really hope so too. I have experienced this in other circumstances and it really makes the mouse unusable. I have just purchased the plane. After all it is listed as fully VR compatible. If so the mousepointer shoud be usable. If not what options do we have ?

For example Is the checklist on the yoke visible in VR ? Is the EFB visible in VR ? How user friendly is the FMS in VR ? (have seen statement that there are big problems here when using a mouse)

Yes my current impression is that these two seem most interesting 1) PMDG 737-600 because of price and being a PMDG plane. Also have prior experience with them. 2) Just Flight 146 Professional (did you mean that with JustFlight 147 ?) on sale now and analog instrument and regional plane. First I dismissed it because it has four engines and the MSFS command for selecting individual engines does not work. But it seem you rarely if ever need to adjust indivindual engines

From the replies it seem clear that I don't have to worry about the financial risk issue

I think I prefer Boeing over Airbus. Airbus has the yoke on the side unlike Boing and my TM Hotas Warthog. Also I have prior experience with Boing from FSX FS9. I also have paid tutorials for the PMDG 737 although for FSX (or maybe FS9) still much should be useful in MSFS. The PMDG 767-600 is interesting. The least expensive. I wonder why this variant is priced so much lower than the other PMDG 737

For now I only have one airliner and that is Majestic Dash Q400 for P3D5.4. My experience here is frequent crashes to desktop. So I consider getting one in MSFS. One thing I ask myself is. Will I have to expect lower performance and less stability when flying a bigger and faster airliner plane compared to GA ? With my GA I get good performance and stable sim. (My system CPU 5800X3D 32 GB RAM NIVIDIA 4770Ti video card and M.2 SSD disk with Win 11 I also fly in VR with HP Reverb G2) Then comes the question which one is best regarding depth of simulation and great visuals and good documentation and tutorials? Price also have som significance since they tend to be very high. Also importnat is that I should be able to use it in the upcoming MSFS2024.
