January 21, 20215 yr Hi, I use both P3D and X-Plane (P3D for modern airliners and X-Plane for classic airliners) but having to buy add-ons for both simulators is rather too much for me, so I have been thinking of dropping X-Plane entirely. What are the best full steam gauge airliners available for P3D v5, preferably similar to what I'm used to with FlyJSim classics? I have been thinking of CaptainSim L1011, CaptainSim 737-200 and a few others, but I'm rather lost. The upcoming Just Flight 747 and A300 look really exciting, but I wouldn't be surprised if their releases are months away. Thanks in advance. PC specs: i5-12400F, RTX 3070 Ti and 32 GB of RAM. Simulators I'm using: X-Plane 12, Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) and FlightGear.

You already mentioned it, but wait for the JustFlight Airbus A300B4. It's in beta right now (in fact a new build was disitributed to us earlier today) Speaking of JF, they also have the BAe 146 for P3D EASA PPL SEPL + NQ / CB-IR in progress MSFS24 | X-Plane 12
January 21, 20215 yr You can also install the just flight DC10, its not officially supported but if you go to this thread... There is an excellent guide to get it fully working, however you will need a licenced copy of Fsuipc to get it working. Richard Smith

January 21, 20215 yr Its a pity the PMDG DC6 is not updated to P3Dv5 yet. I read that some people installed it anyway and it works ...... AMD 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5, RTX 5060ti 16GB, 2 x Samsung 1TB NVMe, 1 x 4TB sata SSD, Windows 11 Prof
January 21, 20215 yr I have the milviz 737-200 but not tried using it in V5, it’s not been updated yet I believe. It’s at the same level as the flyJ 737, though personally I prefer the flyJ out of the 2. I’d guess the JF 146 is the current best classic for V5 Edited January 21, 20215 yr by jon b 787 captain.

It ranks up there with PMDG Their implementation of the FD 108 flight director and other instruments is spot on. The only drawback is the night lighting that is inherent with the McPhat work on the cockpit that is no longer supported, McPhat having gone bye-bye sometime ago. I have the MilViz B737-200 and the CS737, and neither of them come up to the quality of the CoolSky's DC9 FWIW, if you're running FSX, Captain Sim's B707 is also very nice. I really the attitude indicator/flight director on that airplane and wish that there were a way to move it to the B727 and B737 planes. Rich Boll Richard Boll Wichita, KS
