I can't wait to fly this!

The EFB is the most impressive thing to me about ths plane. I've envisioned the idea of having modular apps just like a real iPad where you can install/delete/update them and Fenix is the very 1st developer that has finally done it! The UI/UX design on the tablet is even there, with subtle transitions that makes it behave like the real thing is absolutely outstanding. The level of detail that's gone into this is mind blowing! And you can even use the EFB on a real iPad too! I wish all EFB's were done this nicely. It looks slick and gorgeous! Unfortunately most developers don't care for aesthetics or knowledge of design. Which is why I appreciate one who not only does, but also good with the aircraft's systems, or under the hood stuff.

Totally awesome! This is THE PLANE I am waiting for! (Until maybe a Dash 8 Q400 gets released... 😉 ). However... although a lot of folks here seem to think this plane is going to be released pretty soon I do think we won't see this Airbus before Q3 or Q4 of 2022... These blogs are absolutely great and I am a HUGE fan of those detailed video's that teach me a LOT about the Airbus but looking at the frequency of their release and reading between the lines I really don't expect being able to fly this bird anytime soon. I even wonder if they can make it happen in 2022...! Luckily we've got the FBW A32NX to keep us entertained... although that one is also coming along quite slowly... These are great times. And hard times. 😉

It's not the first time I see Portugal or a portuguese company referred in the videos / pictures ...

In the ELEC video it surely looks like LPPD to me ?

I never thought I would see an aircraft done to a level above my beloved FSL A320.

After watching this again I feel I am getting a level D simulation for my PC. It looks like a totaly new standard is going to be set. Its bind blowing. This is not even close to the PMDG NG or FSL A320, it looks in a totaly new league on its own, far higher then anything in this class of a moden airliner in any sim.

Bring it on.🙂

I think he was saying RSR has an overriding tendency to obfuscate with a panoply of excessive verbosity.

Even i, as a Dutch reader, get your drift. 😀

And i think that's a beautiful sentence, it's got rhythm.

And that's the exciting part, will they try to really improve their NG or just adapt it with some graphic improvements?

They are using the old code, so it is not net new... it is a refreshed version. Same as the DC6.

Probably why the DC-6 still has terrible performance. That's the main thing that keeps me from flying it more often.

Do you know you can run it in dev mode and click an option to give a huge boost to fps?

Wait what? Please tell me more!

You need to go to Options -> General Options -> Developers and set the Developer Mode to ON and save,

Then when you load the plane from the developer menu select Options use NanoVg for XML gauges.

Its a great FPS boost for the DC-6  but be aware that its better to deselect it for other aircraft. My Porter for instance apparently doesn’t like it much.  The option is still experimental,

I'm sure that's the benefit of using ProSim for a lot of the systems. When you use an existing suite to do a lot of the work it frees up resources to be able to go the extra mile, not only on systems but pretty much on everything, such as details like these. Given that most if not all developers in this hobby are a small team only, they likely just don't have the resources (money, time, personnel, etc.) to go to such lengths. I would guess using ProSim is also at least part of the reason why this aircraft seems to be taking just half or so of the time it usually takes in this industry to build something so complex. I'm not saying this to discredit Fenix's or any other developer's work btw.

Fantastic! Can I turn Dev mode back off after I select that? I just don't like the black bar at the top but if not I can live with it!
