Thank you for the updated pic Guenter. Really looking forward to further news on this and especially the day when I can purchase it.

That looks real life to you?

It looks beautiful but I don't see the real life photograph part.

I work all day long, so I only ever get to see these on my phone. On such a small screen it does looks real.

Looks good but it’s 737 for me. 

Personally, I believe that having tempered expectations is the key to never being disappointed. In this regard salt is your friend.😁

I think the reason for the lukewarm responses is not b/c the plane doesn't look great; it certainly does! but we have a freeware AC that "looks" equally as good. Fenix will have to do its winning over on the depth of the systems. (Which, I am sure it will) 

Can't wait to fly Thomas Cook Airlines routes with this excellent looking aircraft

Air Portugal or SATA for me please 🙂

I am looking forward to using both the FBW version,  and the Fenix A320. Whilst they are very similar, i like to replicate actual flights and will use whatever version is flying that route on a given day.

At the rate the FBW Neo is advancing, there will likely be very little difference given time. And i for one will be utilising both.

It definitely looks like an airbus.  

It’s the Jetstar and Turkish airlines flights for me 🤙🏼

Don't forget to do an air start if you are replicating a Tommy Cook flight; the amount of times the APU was busted on those things, necessitating an APU shutdown and an air start when I used to work on the things, was unbelievable. And if you ever needed a workout, hand-cranking the cargo doors open when the hydraulics were busted, was enough to have you cancelling your gym membership. 🤣

An interesting thing to note with that screenshot, is that whilst I agree it doesn't really look like a photograph, I do think it gets the lighting quite well as a function of MSFS. One of the things you notice with an A320 flight deck, is how dark they can get; although the A320 flight deck is by no means cramped, it does have a sort of 'cosy' feeling because of the way it doesn't get very well lit up by the light coming in the windows. It was one of the things I really noticed about the A320 the first few times I went in the cockpit of the things, and they usually were Thomas Cook ones, where we'd be powering them up on remote stands at EGCC with a GPU.

So what your saying is never get excited about anything releasing just incase it fails? You sound like a lot of fun.

And you sound like a guy who won’t learn and pre order the next Battlefield just to cry afterwards. 
 

And „I am not fun“ because I know how to handle expectations? How old are you? 9?

Could someone please tell if the Fenix bus loads standard flightplans into its FMC (.pln format, like the FSL busses)?

I can't help feeling a bit lukewarm about this plane because of the FBW.

Looks nice, but I don't have much cash to play with. I'll stick with my community Airbus.

I used to share this mentality until the FBWA320 came out. Being that there were no good tubeliners available for MSFS, I decided to learn the A320 and its systems and flows. Before then, I used to scoff at the Airbus. I don't know why. Maybe it was years and years being built up of being on one "side". I can now confidently say I was missing out. Big time. I can't believe I spent so many years ignoring the Airbus just because I was happy with my PMDG Boeing planes. After learning the Airbus platform, it's opened up my world and I can't wait for more advanced systems to be released. 

Long story short: don't restrict yourself to one type, because you're missing out on a world of knowledge and fun. Also, I'm now lean towards Airbus, because word not allowed -- they have their automation figured out.
