I never really had any interest in the FBW , and still don't, which to me is a default aircraft, with some mods. The Fenix EFB imports the Simbrief FP, fuel calculation, and imports in into the MCDU with a couple of clicks, so I don't quite understand what you are claiming. 

I once thought the same thing about the FBW A320neo.  I decided to try it after the Fenix release just to see the difference.  I was impressed and ended up preferring it over the Fenix model.  Hopefully the upcoming improvements of the Fenix model will balance things out but as of now I can't get past the lacking sound set.  Concerning the EFB you would have to try the FBW option to understand what I'm talking about.  There's no use explaining anything else if you don't have the mod to see for yourself.😏

I haven't heard the PTU sound in the Fenix, might be part of the next fix. 

Its there in a cabin view but barely. I think Fenix is more about system depth and accuracy of LNAV/VNAV and FM profile rather than some fancy sounds, and the EFB is already good while some may say its lacking. Fenix is levels above anything else thats Airbus in MSFS at the moment as far as in depth simulation its more than I can handle if I turned on the failure system.

I started my airliner journey on the FBW but overall prefer the Fenix overall for system depth. RNAV approaches etc. 
 

I do agree, sound set the FBW has some aces up it’s sleeve and you really can’t help but be impressed as a community project.

Default with "some mods"?

Ha ha.

simbrief profile not working - to less fuel consumption

In the meantime, I have found using the recommended SimBrief profile with Advanced Aircraft Options: Fuel
Bias Factor 'M13' works pretty nicely to match the current fuel burn in the sim.

I think some people have the misconception that because the FBW is free its not good... that's far from the truth, if they slapped a price on it, it would've been the first good payware plane for MSFS with continuous updates.

The Fenix is my preferred choice yes, I prefer the CEO in general and I do think it is superior in the sim, but that doesn't mean we can takeaway what FBW has done with the neo, its incredible and I still do fly it along some routes. To say its a default plane with some mods is rubbish. 

Let's also remember that its the first above average NEO we have flown in a sim or the only NEO we have had in a sim from what I recall.

Those guys deserve a big applause to create a NEO and building to a higher level with a lot of updates and it's freeware wow 😉

Maybe its just me, but I have been enjoying all 3. PMGD 737, FBW, and Fenix.

FBW is the real deal. Could easily be payware.
