Just did some short testing. Mostly like already said above. Most things doing its job as expected. Some minor stuff. No sounds on doors and windows. Broken animation on the gas springs for the windows. A severe lack of documentaion, only basic checklists provided. The tablet needs some serious improvement and an option to hide, please. No cargo or pax appearing on load. Sandel seems to have some options working properly and nice custom engine gauges but without any documentation about features hard to tell. Overall seems ok and flying nicely but needs some more love. Afaik as I read some stuff like custom soundset, failures and stuff will be coming later. Hopefully 😉 And why always two GTNs? An option for just one GTN would be nice too. Less glass 😉

Cheers

Personally I prefer the Combo of GTN750 and GTN 650 - one for Map one for Data using the GTN650's unique Nav Data page

Indeed yes, you are right. Even better. The old style nav data page is quite useful indeed.

Quick question. Of course, OrbX is well known for their scenery products, not really for their aircraft products. OrbX normally sells aircraft created by other companies on their website: https://orbxdirect.com/category/aircraft-tools/msfs. When I go to that link, seems like almost all the aircraft sold on the Orbx site for MSFS were created by somebody else, but those other companies are using Orbx as platform, I presume for more sales.

Is this PAC P-750 XSTOL wholly created by OrbX? Has OrbX been well known for creating aircraft in the past? What is OrbX's reputation for the aircraft they have created in the past - are they more simplistic (ie. Carenado) or are they more complex with more systems depth (ie. Milviz)?

Not sure if it was outsourced or not? But it's quite good either way. For instance the circuit breakers work as they should and are not just cosmetic. Flies very well and even I can butter the landings!😀

Oh, if it was outsourced, I'd love to know who did it. If it wasn't outsourced, maybe this means OrbX hired some developers to make airplanes, which means we may see further airplanes created by OrbX.

I always thought the Optica was wholly Orbx? Don’t hold me to it not 100% sure.

I think this would be the 3rd plane OrbX have created internally after the (first) Edgley Optica and the Local Legend Fokker F.VII

And that would be two strikes

Yeah, I think it was made by OrbX. I notice it doesn't have a company name associated with it on OrbX's store page for MSFS aircraft:https://orbxdirect.com/category/aircraft-tools/msfs.

I don't think the Optica was that bad, but I agree the Fokker was appalling

Yes. They are all separate.

.....................................................

How does that work?

Are the variants listed separately in Orbx Central so that you can Activate or De-activate them there & thus control which shows up in MSFS?

No. You would need to delete the ones you don't want manually once it's downloaded. (I can now see why it's 7.3GB. The different models are very detailed and individual.)

Did another flight. Not bad at all. But also feels like a good afford kind of came short. 99.99% of switches work. Sandel buttons are clickable. Basic function range and nav source work. I could be wrong but WX,MAP and TFC button do obsoletely nothing. As far as I can tell iPad can't be removed. It only has few option but occupies a lot of screen for nothing. It pity devs didn't implement  some tear and wear. It looks like a high quality product but it feels there could be more

Documentation is very poor. It comes with  short description and check list, not even cockpit layout. I still wander where are fuel pump vs fuel switch. Checklist calls for both of them, and I found only one. LOL

I sincerely hope developers will expend it, but I highly doubt it

Interior looks very clean/ not worn.

Is it like that across all variants??
