Great stuff

 

I have never seen any aircraft with this level of complexity, are this the new high-end standard, beyond PMDG?

We already know that is has more features than FSL does just in navigational capabilities alone.  That's really the only comparison at the moment.  We'll have to see what PMDG shows us here in the next few, but it's clearly a cut above.  Fun times ahead, no doubt.

If the Fenix A320 has similar or more advanced capabilities than the Pmdg 737, then community expectations would be for a similar price tag.

I assume you do not have the FSLabs A3xx?

I agree that's its too early to make that statement as it isn't even out yet, but to be fair, from the blog posts and 7 videos that shows this aircraft and its capabilities, I have seen multiple things that not even the FSLabs (which I consider the gold standard) Case in point is actual functioning circuit breakers, 280 of them, while the FSLabs has none. Despite this I'm not making any statements until I get the product in hand though.

Lets not get out of hand with this company does this, that company does that.....The reality is the product will speak for itself once its released. Otherwise its just a bunch of banter and assumptions that get these threads locked.

 Than what would you consider that?

I won't consider any FS A320 authentic until it features the cack FEP socket socket design, so the ground power plug can authentically fall out and authentically cut the ground power. 🤣

My expectation on price is already there for this add-on to be honest…of course only if it stays the course that it’s currently on.

But that's what makes avsim haha!  You are right though...speculation threads tend to get a little dicey.  I'm excited for this for people who fly these tubes....but I won't be interested.  I would take a bizjet made with systems like this though!

I wonder if it will have a working dog collar to keep that from happening. Then we’ll know it’s truly study level.😎

They never work either.

Actually it would be even more authentic if when it pulled on stand, a rampie plugged the FEP in, signalled the cockpit by thumping the underside of the fuselage then running out twenty feet to the side and giving the plug in signal, then the co-pilot looks up at the overhead and gives a thumbs-down, then the process is repeated five or six times, with someone also running the the control box and swiping their ID badge on it several times to no avail until someone pulls on stand five minutes later with a GPU, then plugs that in instead when they realise that the FEP is broken. Then that plug also falls out, hits some rampie on the head and then a load of swearing is heard before the crew decide to give up and use the APU instead, but because the FEP was technically still running because nobody turned it off, the airline still gets charged ninety quid for using it. They could call it their Authentic GSE Mode.

I can only imagine bizjets with high caliber systems will make there way into msfs at some point.
