1920x1080 so render scaling is set at 100,

I am using 5120X1440, so I guess some textures are not meant for higher than 1080p

Yep same here, with 2K of my screen, textures are just bad.

Texture resolution = Ultra?

Think that might be it if others have those parts sharp.

I will check it

Silly question. Someone mentioned that liveries were available - where does one find them? I see there is a "liveries manager" button in the Maddog Load Manager app thingy, but the available liveries list is blank.

That's really disappointing for such a high pricing.
I was about to click on the purchase button because I love this plane, but I will wait and see if Leonardo brings a bit more love to the visuals in a future update before jumping in.

Here she is.

Preflight preparations at LOWI.

Flew a quick test flight. Flies beautifully. Nice to be behind the yoke of the Maddog again.

I ended up having to restart the flight because the first load tripped some sort of error where MSFS kept disconnecting and reconnecting ground power every few seconds. And there may be a bug in the APU that makes it not start from time to time, but that went away after the restart too so it could be related to whatever was going on with ground power. I know the sim was unhappy in general because I kept getting the no Internet warning every few minutes, and my internet was fine.

The only permanent issue I had is that I can't get the EFB to turn on. Anyone else encounter that?

Mine was at 4k. Instruments and writing are clear, but some of the other random things were iffy. Ultra texture resolution

I simply can not understand why people are crying about the textures. Serioulsy refund the sim! We had crying about no decent planes, no we got one and people are moaning about textures. Do people just want eye candy? or do people want to fly and experince these planes. There is nothing show stopping about the textures.. WOW!

I was streaming in my Discord...had the same issue. I felt like an word not allowed...you have to left click and hold down the home button on the tablet for it to start up

That was it. the Texture was on high, some parts were sharp other blurred, after switch to ultra, everything is sharp now

I was going to say. This aircraft looks really good.

[wiler 394]

a/c looks good to me. could the cockpit be a bit sharper, sure. Ill give them a pass because this appears to be the real deal otherwise.
