737ngdriver is not a type rated A320 pilot, is he?  Of course you would prefer an actual type rated A320 pilot to give their assessment of the Fenix A320.  And by far, most of the type rated A320 pilots on Twitch and Youtube, have given the Fenix A320 very good reviews.

Its a long long way from nailing anything. Just have a look at the post take off pitch attitudes then compare them to FCOM's 15 degrees. Its the tip of a massive iceberg of issues.

 

This looks about the same as Fenix: https://youtu.be/bzKOdsusuQo?t=732 . Can you please explain what I'm looking at?

Edit: I found an interesting one. MAN TOGA with empty aircraft. FD is guiding a >20 degree pitch up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECV3IBkzZLc&ab_channel=OmarAL-TALIB

It seems that there's quite a bit of variance to the 15 degrees. I guess then that you should elaborate on your test case and what were you expecting to see vs. what Fenix was giving as it's getting quite clear that the 15 degrees is not something set in stone at all.

Added cockpit texture quality option to reduce VRAM usage (low VRAM cards will see FPS improvements from this)

Definitely a big Thank you all from me. I'm sure this will benefit me a lot (I don't need 8K in a 1080p screen).

Added simulation rate increase up to 2x (for now, will increase it as we do more testing)

Oh, I was expecting more. Let's hope Fenix can manage to get up to 8x at least in a later update. I can´t call a SKBO-SBGR flight shorthaul 😝

Mmm, so was this the root cause of all FPS issues?😝

I consider myself as 'Boeing man', flying PMDG stuff for years, and u know what - i have bought Fenix and i enjoy every flight ! 🙂

Since he is on the PMDG tech team I hardly think you will hear him say that - no matter how good it is.

Oh my, you have no idea how utterly incorrect that assumption is.

Being on the PMDG beta team, seeing his accurate and unbiased posts in the beta forum, his no-nonsense bug reports, I can tell you for a fact, and not speculation, that he does not hold any punches when it comes to reporting issues to the PMDG staff.

Now, his customer-facing side you and others see is a bit tamer and may give the appearance of being biased in some way... if you don't hear him ranting up and down that this button on the MCP is 2 pixels off where it should be, pitch for this flight condition should be 1 degree higher so this whole flight model is trash, or he just can't live without an opening door....you get the idea.  But this is just his demeanor and professionalism you see in his vids.  Please don't confuse this with unsubstantiated bias, its just a false narrative and serves no useful purpose. 😉

To br fair ive watched these real pilots streams, to use v1 as an example he spends more time flying the plane from the passenger seat than the cockpit so if a few hard to notice things like pitch attitude on takeoff were off by a few degrees i doubt he would even notice.  Until someone like Emmanuel (737ngdriver) says its the best i don't hold mych value in what these other streamers say about it.

If you not happy on how V1 flies the plane then maybe watch a few Blackbox711 videos. He'a an Airbus pilot who is very detailed in his flights and spends his time in the cockpit.  Blackbox is the Airbus version of Emmanuel in the Boeing.

When it comes to any Airbus thread.... its like this when the temptation to stray in that subject hits a FSL'er:

For a layman like me that has never been in a 320 cockpit, I'm having a blast! It's probably the best aircraft I've ever used in a sim during my 20+ years of simming. 

THIS is all that matters in MSFS. I feel the same. All most of us can tell is that it looks like an Airbus, and it flies like we think an Airbus should, so we're good.

As to the RW A320 pilots, take all of their collective opinions, put them in a bowl, shake them up, and use the overall consensus to get a feel for what they think. In the end, it doesn't really matter to me. If they all say it sucks, then I have to believe them, but as of now, I see an overwhelming majority that say "wow", and a few stragglers that seem like they have an agenda. We're smart people on Avsim. We can clearly see what is right in front of us.

I've got an Airbus from a company I trust. That's what I've been holding out for. Being a couple of degrees off on climb out pitch isn't going to mess that up for me.

Hmmm so given the choice of believing veteran IRL 320/airbus pilots and simmers like 320 sim pilot, V1 Simulations, BlackBox711, Into the Blue Simulations, etc ... versus some FSL shills on a forum ... gee, that's a hard choice.

As experienced as he might be as a 737 captain, this is the info from 320SimPilot's website: 

"I have been a passionate aviation fan since I was very small. As soon as I could use a computer flight simulation became a keen hobby in my life! As I grew up I loved experiencing all aspects of aviation through flight simulation.

Now I am a trained airline pilot who operates the Airbus A320 family of short haul aircraft including the A319/320/321 and NEO aircraft. Having gained so much through flight simulation I wanted to take the opportunity to help out others who are starting out or want to take their home simulations to the next level, or even those who are curious about what goes on in the real world flying!"

Yeah, I'll take his opinion on the Fenix any day. Sure, he has been testing the aircraft and given advice to the Fenix team prior to release. So you could say he's biased. As he even mentions himself. But still...

Absolutely. It's almost fascinating how much trust I put in a company that is a complete newcomer to the flightsim market. But I think Aamir and his team have done pretty much everything right from the start. Both in the style of communications prior to release, the way the actual release was handled, and the post-release process. I mean, we've got two solid updates already - and the plane was released two weeks ago. I have to admit I was a bit sceptic before buying, but was more than pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. It was everything I was hoping for - and more.

So a 737 Pilot is better at judging an A320 than an A320 Pilot?   Huh??

Is there really anyone in here to recommend Dave a better method for drying his running shoes?
