Is there the real sound of the GE-90?

Nope, not yet - hopefully there comes one with an update - or maybe a mod ? !

 

cheers 😉

CS have studied the MSFS market carefully and have watched a lot of youtube vidoes that clearly demonstrate that a not insignificant chunk of simmers basically just fly their plane from the outside and don't give a rat's rearend about whether the cockpit is just a reused 747 one. I mean, if you don't look to closely, they look alike anyways, and it's easy to just edit out two engines.

Only in the avsim filter bubble do simmers pay $140 in order to press a few extra buttons.

No wonder serious simmers (far, far more of them then you think) have been returning to P3D and X-plane in droves if MSFS can only provide simmers with arcade airplane add-ons. 
And if you think the 140 bucks add-on is no more than pressing ‘a few extra buttons’, you lack knowledge and you’ve joined the wrong forum. A little hypocritical isn’t it? 

I’m pretty sure FS2004’s default 777 was more realistic than this one. And that’s shameful.

You mean Flight Gamers

😀 Oh my!  Well, if that is what I am, then I am fine with it.  At least I am not a flight sim snob. 

Ignore the hate.  Whatever will be, will be.  Either buy it or not buy it, I have found not many people will really care. 

I see this as just a start for MSFS, and there will be good, bad, and mainly mediocre along the way, such is life. 

Look, CS saw that the Bredok 737 was flying off the (virtual) shelves like bags of ganja at a Bob Marley memorial concert, and they said to themselves: there is money on the table, let's go and get it. And that's what they are doing.

@Chock do you mind taking one for the team and get a mic, go out to the tarmac and do a recording lol.  Extra credit for landing and takeoff recordings

If the CRJ is priced at $51 USD, I think a $30 USD plane that uses 747 instruments is a bit too much, since Aerosoft did try to implement all the instruments of the CRJ.  Maybe $20 USD would be more appropriate for this?

In hindsight, the CRJ at $51 USD is a pretty good deal, given the amount of work and fidelity Aerosoft put into it.

Maybe the marketing folks at CS know better and have calculated that $30 USD gets them more revenue.

eeerrrrr.............there is no 777 wingflex depicted on that image.  

When I saw this I did have to check my calendar to see if transmitting into a mismatched antenna with my ham radio last night had accidentally opened up a wormhole in time-space that took me back to April 1st...or maybe even back to the release date of FS95 when Frankensteining a 4-engine default panel into a 2-engine model was something people might try.

Clearly there is no shortage of cheap vodka at CaptainSim HQ these days...

But beyond this, if people imagine MS would ever have considered making a new flight sim solely for the 37 people on Avsim who insist on the ammeter needle reading being millimetre accurate on the overhead and dropping .00001 amps when someone flushes the toilet in the cabin, then they need to put the crack pipe down. The vast majority of flight sim users want to fly their 747 inverted under the Golden Gate Bridge, we merely benefit from that sim also being able to handle fancy add-ons, which is why we pay the kind of money we do for such things.

🤣🤣🤣 you made my day with this! that's why I'm happy with default planes for now in MSFS, for the serious stuff I fire up my other sim.

Oh, goodness.

I know right, getting to be a pretty tired argument.

The only difference between a “gamer” and a “simmer” Is that the gamer doesn’t delude him or herself that this stuff is real and that they aren’t in fact playing a pc game.

It’s supposed to be fun no matter how you choose to use it.

The Bredok 737 has been a top seller on SimMarket for months, and honestly anyone running a flight sim business should have taken notice.  Obviously the big boys (FSL, PMDG etc.) wouldn't want to tarnish there rep this much but lets face it CS is hated by the "hardcore" simmers anyway.  

If you are a FS business owner who already has very detailed 3D models of underserved MSFS airplanes you should be re-skinning them right now.  The market has spoken and this is what people are paying for.

When you have 2M+ pilots, it does not matter that a "few" leave to go back to older sims that did not have a large user base to begin with.

MSFS cast a wide net (2M+)...and the more in depth planes will come. Partnering with WT shows that Asobo is looking to bring more depth to the core.

Appealing to the masses (first) was the right move....to get a large user base...to get the right $$$ / potential / funding....to get the 3P Dev investment & interest...to eventually get to a more realistic sim. Not even a year out...they (Asobo / 3P Devs) will get there...

 

 

CaptainSim Release a 747 in a 2 engine configuration.  That's a better description.
