Doesn't change the fact that they "tried it". For some .. Including me .. that blacklists them period. Whatever extra feature they may offer i will do without.

That's fine. Great. I literally just said that it's fine to not want to buy from them. But people need to get fact checked when they say it's still happening, because it simply isn't. And the "hurr durr malware" snark every time someone mentions FSL is getting old.

Nah .. I think its great that someone makes a point to remind the unsuspecting consumer. ( I was one of them) of what they were up to in the past. It does influence purchasing decisions and i would like to know. Doing something like that has no expiry date in my book. Especially when its the same crew running the show.

Anyways .... Looking forward to seeing and supporting  Fenix with their products.  FSL can start their own thread when they actually have something for the FS2020 market.

It is not about performance but the bagage is the license.

If you could connect all your hardware like Cdu and Overhead to Fenix then why would somebody still want to buy a expensive Prosim license?

I really love the Fenix A320 but my Pmdg with a remote overhead and remote Fmc gives me much more immersion because of that!

Pmdg and others have released all of their output values so you can use your MCP / Cdu / all hardware.

In my setup I have specially bought 2 tablets one for Fmc and one for Efb.

Also mounted a touchscreen monitor above my head for the overhead panels.

 

 

That's strange because there have been numerous posts from users that have both the PMDG 737 and the Fenix, and they find themselves flying the Fenix way more than the 737.

At least Prosim doesn't put malware on your system..😉

I'm more worried about the way they deal with buyers. Major lack of communication, even a little bit arrogant at times and product cycles take AGES to complete. Besides, i already have a real REAL good A320 in my hands.

They're late (as usual), with the wrong attitude and coming in probably with a "been there, done that" A320. Malware would be the least of my concerns 😛

Yes but not with remote overhead or Cdu for example with my Mcp I can dial like altitude (input) but can not show Fenix values (output)

We've announced several times that a remote MCDU will come - it's NOT hardware and has nothing to do with ProSim. 

It's a simple question of what benefits the consumer more? IAEs or a request from a small (relative to the size of the entire customer base) portion of customers?

Definitely IAEs. So our resources are there right now. This is also why we are currently hiring.

Thank you for the information, I think quite a lot of people use remote Cdu nowadays. Since everybody has tablets etc!

Looking very much forward to that!

(Also would be great to have working Mcp values 😉 )

I really hope Fenix doesn't spend the next 5 years polishing something that is already pretty good...would really like them to see building an A330 or something new.

Am I the only one hoping for something like a 737CL for their “SecretOtherStuffTM”

 

or is it just me…

Unlikely to be only you.

Hoping for a bit of modern single deck Airbus widebody, personally. A330, A340 or even A350.
More chance of it being an A318 (with steep approach capability, please), A319 or A321.

I would say its less likely to have an A318 not many operators use them now and also think it wouldn't sell that well.

A319 and A321 are what I have my fingers crossed for.

Hoping for CRT displays on the flightdeck

🤷‍♂️
Neither did the real world 737-600, but PMDG charged less compared to their other variants and it probably did well enough.

Plus, there will be some demand in putting an A318 either runway end into EGLC, or other interesting steep approaches like IGS Rwy 25 into LSGS or RNAV Rwy 32 into KSBS.

Some demand. I would take it they will go where the demand is way higher so A321, Neo , 330 , 380 etc. We will just have to wait and see.
