new flight model

I thought the flight model was already perfect? Maybe the new one will be perfect. Yawn..

There's still no comparison. One experience is real the other is just pretending. A simulator is a pale shadow of really flying a plane.

Totally depends what you are looking for. A simulator is perfectly fine for navigation-traning by using real sectionals or just dead reckoning, QDR/QDM towards navaids or pattern entries at unfamiliar airports. You can set-up an efficient workflow infront of your desk how you manage/fold the charts, how you update ETO/ATO/Fuel rem. Even how you sort the docs on your kneeboard.

 There are plenty of useful stuff to do in a sim (regardless MSFS/XP/P3D) that will help you in a real plane. 🙂

Indeed. For my part - entertainment, interest and the suspension of reality. I enjoy learning to fly the sim (which is in fact what we are doing) and am under no illusion that I can actually fly a real plane. In fact from my experience in my daughter in laws P28 it's a lot harder to fly a plane in a sim than it is in real life.😀 And as I am spending time staring at a screen how it looks takes precedence over the minutiae of any particular flight model. Just my take on it.

My issue with the X-Plane folks is that they seem to think they are actually flying a real aeroplane whereas because I no longer use XP, therefore I am not!😀

others don't:

they should ask Carenado for some graphics training. this is something Carenado would never have released. looks even worse in VR. must be "study level" I guess. 😀

For anyone losing sleep over this, note that this texture comes from the Southwest Airlines livery mod that the video maker was using, which changes both exterior and interior textures. The default textures are much higher resolution.

How’s he achieved the shot with the out of focus skyline?

Actually ... I stand corrected -- by myself!  I just used drone view to enter the cabin of the 737, and that texture is indeed there.

HOWEVER, it should be noted that PMDG were very clear that they don't consider the cabin finished yet; these are placeholder textures for now.  Fine by me as what they do have finished at this point is more than enough for me to enjoy.

Drone camera but pretty difficult to get it right - lots of fiddling with it
