Getting the full series from FSL will cost $240 once the 321 comes out

The A320 alone is $200 CAD

You right click on the chronograph button and it turns the clock digits green so that you can tell it's active. It is basically an automated way of doing what you are doing, BUT it will automatically dial the sim rate back so that the airplane can properly maneuver. Ever notice that if you go over 4x that the plane can move off the course line and then start making large corrections back and forth overshooting it's intended course while trying to get back on track? Auto cruise fixes that. It'll slow down, let the plane make the turn, and then speed up again. 

You can actually walk away and not worry about the plane losing it's mind.

I’m surprised the NGXU doesn’t have the jump ahead feature as another add-on(from a different developer) has implemented already...I really do enjoy that jump ahead feature, I usually take off, get to cruise, level off And fly 100 nm or so, jump ahead to about 500nm from my destination and carry on.

Why not fly from airports that are closer to each other!

 

Some people just want to fly real world routes, Howard. Personally, I would not even dream of using "jump ahead" or "time compression" features in a simulator, but that's just me.

In this way I can fly from select payware airport add-ons that are not in close proximity to each other without having to stare at a screen for 6+ hours

Man, I was trying to formulate a response, but you pulled the words right out of my mouth in probably the most concise way possible!

Sure, I guess so, particularly if you fly some of the bigger birds in and out of the largher hubs. 

Well... The airplane is finally self contained. I figured out how to use the performance app in the EFB, and I can now do all of the flight and performance calculations from within the cockpit. This includes something new for me, which is the ability to calculate takeoff performance using assumed temperature. From what I understand, something like Topcat was required to do that before. I can plan the entire flight using the route string and flight level that I get off of Flightaware and the ASP4 weather request. All I need to do is make up a ZFW and stick that in the FMS for the pax and cargo load. Pretty cool stuff.

Same here and I suspect most of PMDG's customers would fall into this category.

Perhaps, but then why include the smart time compression feature..Wouldn't that fall in a similar category as the jump ahead feature? 

BTW, not complaining that it wasn’t included or anything of the sorts, I’m just generally surprised it’s not being implemented in other add-ons thats all. 

I've made my personal decision. If an update to NGXu would have cost 30 bucks, I would have bought it, of course. But so I'll keep my loved "old" PMDG 737 at study level.

I already own the Aerosoft A320, beautiful textures and best for a fast after-work flight. And since I want to continue studying the Airbus anyway, I prefer to spend my money on the upcoming A321 from FSL to have an uptodate simulator-airplane. And then I have Boeing and Airbus at the highest level.

And if/when MSFS 2020 comes out, I will decided on my own which addon will end up in my hangar.

Thank you all for the suggestions and opinions, which all come to the same conclusion: we love flying...

I asked for refund due to the fact that the NGXu didn't turned out as I expected. I also wrote a list of BUGs / small issues, some present in the older NGX. Didn't get it.

Mind you, it is only going to be an expansion.
You still need to own the base pack, which is A320-X.

Ah, ok. So I'll wait for the black friday sale, maybe there's 20% off. But even if not, after reading hundreds of forum posts, I think the FSL A320 is really worth its money. And I don't want to be the one who missed this experience.

I approve/agree 100%...especially since I just bought the NGX for P3Dv4 again a few weeks ago...(I hadn't made the transition from the NGX for FSX to the one for P3D)...no comments .

I have the FSL A319/20, worth clearly the money. Good choice...You won't regret it!
