I wonder if AvAngel is going to video this out of Bella Coola and land in Campbell? 🤣

Or Orcas Island... 😁

Besides it being mentioned that this bird is 'hard on system', can anyone who owns the PMDG 737 contrast the performance with the Fenix A320?  Thx.

... Or the FBW A320 NEO.

737 is better, but the A320 runs pretty well on my system

Please ! I am actually holding on buying it till I know its not going to be a slide show on my PC.

Be ready to lower your TLOD slider. My advice is to lock the fps @30 and don't worry about fps.

There's a video that shows how well the aircraft performs even with a middle of the road GPU.

I'm also going to wait to see how the airplane performs before I get my copy.

LOL That's a start.  I appreciate your response bendead very much as I"m sure most are ignoring us folks waiting on the sidelines in lieu of flying but perhaps something a bit more empirical would be possible once everyone finishes flying for a bit? 🙂 Pretty please...

I am only beginning the journey, loading is very fast and panning equally smooth, being inside the cockpit and outside. will try my usual short "delivery" flight from EDDM to LOWI now, we'll see then...

No Jetblue or United. Thankfully, flightsim.to exists. 😀

Jet blue doesn't use that engine which will be released later.

How realistic is this? So far not one complex airliner turned the performance of the SIm into a slide show.

I'm aware of that. Thanks.

BTW, custom views mod already released:

Bring it home DAD, then tell us what you think.  F5, F5, F5... 🙂

I LOVE this bird! It's already blowing my mind. I love the EFB and how it integrates with everything. I love the AOC menu and company messages. And I love how it all just works out of the box. I didn't have to do any fancy configuring of my throttles to the detends. It just works ❤️

Oh and the frames are pretty good for me at least. I have my system locked at 30 fps, and Im currently flying through thunderstorms. Just butter 🙂 

[Andreas Stangenes 1,628]

By the way, do anyone know if there is a simbrief profile available for it?

I’d say it’s a fair reason to wait. It’s just a matter of time until a complex airliner is going to wreck the sims performance.
