Just made the first flight with Maddog and feels like a spaceship with its unique systems and weird alarms. Such a immersive experience. Do we have a freighter model included? 

Small question: Do the compass mirrors work? If so, I need to figure out why mirrors aren't displaying properly in my MSFS install. 

I really love how great the vnav and lnav are. It's a game changer. Have been able to fly some more complex approaches and departures that I haven't been able to before.

Is there any kind of learning curve for this bird if we already have the P3Dv5 Maddog? I am assuming that the MSFS bird has the same panel states so you can start at “ready to fly?”

yes, there are 'ready for takeoff' and c&d and such, same as before.

Big difference I've found is that you don't right click on the maintenance button to connect ground power anymore. You do it either through the EFB or by flipping on emergency power long enough to radio the ground crew via the MSFS ATC interface.

Why in the world I can't remove co-pilot and pilot from the cockpit? Is it really necessary to have them in the cockpit. I couldn't find an option to remove them. anyone knows how?

Thank you! It's hard to see those little check boxes

Haha, thought the same at first but then that handsome lady grew on me and made the cockpit seem less empty. 😇

Ahaha, I don't like her if she's not helping with anything 🙂

Yup, it would be kind of neat if she could do some stuff like gear and flaps and exterior lights. Not to mention radios. During last nights flight when panning the camera she just sat there and she struck me as kind of passive agressively giving me the silent treatment. 🤣 never thought I’d get that in a virtual cockpit.

haha my thoughts exactly.... feels like the car ride home after a battle...only longer.

Sounds are underwhelming just like in FSX. Supreme simulation overall though.
