You have to love it when someone writes an article about something they can't tell you about LOL

Yes, it felt a little like click-bait.

I don't personally hold the idea that MSFS is ready for complex aircraft simulation.  Eye candy, to me, is not an adequate flight simulation experience.

This opinion was valid about 5-6 months ago (and I'd have totally agreed with you back then) but not anymore.

Freeware - commercialised.

With all those failures it has to be a A350 or A380.

I don't recall any of those two model types falling out of the sky recently my fellow Jamaican..(Being very presumptuous with my assumption of your nationality based on your location. If i am incorrect please accept accept my genuine apology) 

But back to topic. As long as its a high quality addon worth buying the more the merrier.

Even a month ago before the DC-6 was released you could have maybe argued the position, but now someone can actually point to a successful complex airliner working in the sim it's a moot point.

Ha, are people still saying this? I thought we are over this narrative with the release of PMDG DC-6 🤨

I corrected my post to read failures being simulated as they are in the FSLabs and PMDG aircrafts. They don’t fall out of the sky either.

As Rob of PMDG has said: the problem with study level modern airliners is the glass - hence the DC-6.

I also thought he had said that there was nothing standing in the way of the NG3 either. So glass is no longer a problem....

I don't understand why, after months or more of devoted silence, they announce their product "days" before they have something to show. Surely they could have waited one more week until the preview shots were ready?

If it is A350 then one of the failure items will be coffee spill on the center console = dual engine flameout.

The fawning over [the overused expression] 'study-level' aircraft (an expression usually used in reference to one particular aircraft vendor, often times with almost cult-like devotion) sometimes gives me a study-level headache.

I agree, it is fun to watch though 😀 as various people get worked up about various things. The term alone for me is like nails on a chalk board.

Sometimes people just hate accepting reality 

Its going to be an exciting end of the year for MSFS, I think we are going to be spoiled for high fidelity airliners. There won't be much pull for P3D then. It will be so tough to compete with xbox and the money that will draw.

I believe they call it "hype".

I think P3D will just focus on their customers that want a sim for training, and they hope that these customers don't give MSFS 2020 a try. All bets are off if that happens.
