1 year in, what's your general view on payware aircraft??

While Carenado planes may not be world class, their C-170 is just too well appointed to not love.

I'm a fan of flying heavy metal and I haven't seen any payware birds that interest me. I'll take a look at the Fenix A320 when it comes out. I'll also buy a 737, 777, A330, L-1011& Concorde when good ones come out for MSFS.

Another project to look foward to is the  Wing 42 B247 will turn heads what msfs can do.

My two cents:

- Scenery: I've never seen so many sceneries released in such a short timeframe (despite some of them being ports of FSX/P3D sceneries).If I must judge because of only this, I give MSFS 10/10 points. But I only care about two or three airports, because I know them so well in real life, that I can´t stand less.

- GA: I only need a fast single prop, and I got it: the Carenado Mooney. Works fine enough for my purposes. Anything else, I can complete with the default fleet (which I feel it's a lot better than FSX default, and even some FSX/P3D payware).

- Propliners: they were never my type, but I got the DC-6, and I don´t regret it at all 😍

- Airliners: These.Are.My.Type! And the only thing that prevents me from saying that, after almost 18 months, MSFS is a total disappointment is actually the freeware FBW A320. I was never interested in the CRJ, since almost no one flies it in this end of the world. Yeah, you can compare with the development times for the NGX and the 747 for FSX, but the Level-D 767 was available just 8 months after launch (and I still keep FSX installed because of this). And yes, I'm looking forward to the Fenix/PMDG 737/Maddog releases, and my wallet is dreading it.

- Weather: even worse than airliners! Maybe am I spoiled by ActiveSky?

- ATC: I have PF3 since FS9 days. I could make it work with MSFS, but honestly, I prefer the text-to-speech facilities in the default ATC, that can pronounce intersections as a single word (instead of letter-by-letter) and whatever callsign that appears. If only there's any ATC package that can take the PF3 (or your favorite ATC software) procedures, and mix it with the text-to-speech and fluency of the default MSFS one, it would be gold...

Lossless Scaling for all my sims. What a godsend...

Mobile rig: ASUS Zenbook UM425QA (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H APU @3.2 GHz and boost disabled, 1 TB M.2 SSD, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro). Running FS9 there .

VKB Gladiator NXT Premium Left + GNX THQ as primary controllers. Xbox Series X|S wireless controller as standby/mobile.

Hopefully 2022 is going to bring the airliners from Fenix, PMDG and Maddog. and  the major bugs that are holding back progress are taken care of ASAp, otherwise some may start drifting back or even switch to get their airliner fix  despite the graphics being better compared to other sims at the moment.

Oh and i forgot the two offerings from Just Flight, one being the  Bae146, and Foker F28
