My favorite plane on P3Dv4 is the PMDG 737, but it is quite a challenge even with the manuals and tutorials.

I want to fly the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 747 and 787 airliners in MSFS 2020. 

Will there be User Guides or manuals for the aircraft?

Flight model fidelity and systems modeling. Those are the only two topics I'm interested in. Tree height, cloud details, water masks and even particle physics are way down in my priority list.

These are default aircraft - please keep that in mind.

Things I'm curious about:

Support for legacy aircraft in the sim, if and when.

Flight model limit of mach 0.95... really?

Subscription plans in the future for scenery, live weather, live traffic... ?

Several of the YT channels have said they have problems with the AP. It could be user error, but it would be nice to get a confirmation on this.

Autopilots are for pussies, but I think we can confirm, courtesy of nearly everything we see on youtube, such as those A320s slamming onto the runway at 375 mph with no flaps, it's probably a user error. Or possibly a PIA training video 🤣

True, while I don't expect all the systems to be modeled, the ones that are modeled like AP should work correctly.

Question for beta testers. When you turn the engines off why does the log book appear automatically? Any way to disable that? I saw that in squirrel’s latest video.

"Will all IFR capable airplanes be able to fully fly a IFR-filed flight plan on release day? If not - do you have a timeline for this?"

 

VERY GOOD question! 😉

Actually, if Aeroplane Heaven have adopted working practices with a view toward the new sim when they were making their P3D/FSX DC-3/C-47, it might not actually be that long until one shows up in the new sim. I strongly suspect they were doing that with some stuff, notably their Control Ezy things, with a view to it being a 'new plane for a tenner' type of thing in the sim for your more casual types.

EXACTLY RIGHT!! People always gloss over that.  Oh it's a default aircraft, who cares?  Well for one I DO and I'm part of who because I don't want a broken sim that somehow "OTHERS" should fix and we just have to dish out more money and I enjoy just getting in an aircraft sometimes and just tooling around so the default aircraft are just fine most of the time until I want to go further.  The basics need to be there in the offering and work right PERIOD or they need to fix it and not some 3rd party, then if you want to throw your money at other things that take it to the next level, WONDERFUL!

That question should be directed to Robert Randazzo over at PMDG.

Still don't know why he's not gone for it with a DC-3, unless he was figuring on waiting until the new sim came out. That DC-6 sold well enough to warrant it. Plus you know what some obsessive PMDG fans are like; if PMDG did a simulation of a skateboard, they'd buy it, so a DC-3 hardly seems a risk.
