I just don’t get it.....and people give them money......it’s truly a mystery

I'm in this camp too, but also remember you easily would pay more than a months subscription for a cinema ticket, so if they entertain you, it's not exactly money for nothing, and quite cost effective entertainment compared to other things in life... This was the only perspective I found could make paying streamers make any rational sense!

I just watched the video at the start, whats this setting in the TCA throttles we have to change? Couldnt find it to see what he meant? Any ideas...

That's not to take away anything from Katie, Blackbox, Fabio etc of course... Their opinions are equally as valuable, especially the insights they can provide given their direct involvement with the development/testing of this bird.

Perfect. He showed me precisely what I wanted to see. Release it.

I notice some wear and tare, which I like. Does this mean no Marketplace availability?

It was claimed that to sell on the Marketplace, it must be factory fresh.

Hmmm I bought the Britten Norman Islander & the Just Flight Turbo Arrow on the Market place ....

I was a little cynical at first but 320 pilot's video sold me

Seems like Toolbar pushback is dropping FPS and causing stutters for some people.

I wonder if it's also causing FPS drops for other planes such as the PMDG 737 as well.

Agreed. It looks solid and I value his opinion the most. As he said: 

"This is the dream, we now have an aircraft of this caliber in this simulator, absolutely lovely". 

The attention to detail seems ridiculously good. As for the flight model, he says this: 

"The handling is astonishing. The result is something really special, it flies just like you want it to. It's so predictable, it's what I expect the Airbus to do."

I liked the part where 320 pilot calibrated the thrust lever in the MCDU. Later on he said the flaps lever would have been calibrated too.

My mind is completely blown, feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. 

[Fielder 3,663]

Apparently moving the throttle a certain distance does not make for the same result, depending on the auto calibration. The MCDU is trying to put the right thrust to match the slots described by printed words on the throttle bezel, depending on how the plane is configured as to weight and fuel and your flight plan ? And the flap notches can change based on those criteria too?

Where will this be sold? I need it!
