737, MD80, Fenix A320 and Concorde.

That seems like an odd-man-out quiz...

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Whichever gets to support high sim rates (8x or more). That makes PMDG a sure candidate (judging from the Auto Cruise function in their P3D birds). I don't know how will the other planes fare (or how did the MaddogX and JF BAe perform in P3D).

Good luck keeping Fuel in that thing. 🙂

 

Will do my best! 😃

I guess there are not many options when long haul routes are being used, but......I could never use increased sim rate in a flight simulator. I would either have to get to my destination in relatively short hops, or just not fly long haul routes at all.

What about the inibuilds A310?!

Forgot about this one, I’m not an Airbus guy, but this one interests me for some reason! 

 Intel I7 12700KF / 32 GB Ram-3600mhz / Windows 11 - 64 bit / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060TI / 32" Acer Monitor, Honeycomb alpha/bravo, CH rudder pedals, Tobii 5, Buttkicker, Logitech radio panel. 

I'm using all 3 now in PD3 and FSX se. I love all of them but I will wail until they work out the bugs before I buy any of them for FS2020.

I (and the FBW A320-251) have reached a point where I seriously question if I should spend money for one of the upcoming payware aircraft at all due to the fact that I have as much fun with the aforementioned A320 as I had since FS2004 with some Addons priced around the 100€ tag for FS9, FSX and P3D.

 

Maybe I'll spend money on the iniBuilds A310 if it's rendition is superior to the A320 but I start having my doubts.

Not because I expect the A310 to be bad, but because the FBW guys are taking this a lot more serious than some payware devs do.

I'd rather donate an amout of money to FBW I think their plane it is worth, moreover when I have the chance to fly it first, try it for as long as I want to and if I still love it, I am perfectly happy to pay for it.

 

That's the big advantage FBW has got over payware devs: when you first buy an aircraft and then find out, you don't really like it, your wallet still misses that 50-100€. If you don't like the FBW, just dont use it anymore and don't donate to them. If you like it, decide on your own which price tag would be suitable if this was payware 😀

Do you know if any of these addons will offer freight versions?
