Could you share the route? It would be interesting to try.

Yes, it was better at some point (i do this route and this exact turn quite often). The issue is not the tracking as i already said, its the turn calculations. This turn IRL would be quite noticeable in the cabin at cruise. 

I do the same route with Fenix as well and its aces the turn each and every time very smooth and precise.  

Is it a deal breaker ? no. Is it a showstopper ? no. Its simply an issue 🙂

ill ticket it.

Absolutely, this issue with turn anticipation is going on since P3D, personally, I wrote a few tickets since then, and recently with the MSFS. Unfortunately, no satisfactory answer or fix. They have this issue going on for at least 15 years.
 
Under no circumstances the real airplane should exceed 30 degrees bank, especially in LNAV. Actually is limited by FCC.
 
The other unacceptable issue is that sometimes before and after a waypoint passage, it can be noticed that the FD bounces (spikes) left/right.
 
Regarding Boeing vs Airbus, they are completely different with respect to the logic of the LNAV regarding turn anticipation. Boeing overall is harsh in LNAV, more so in HDG to intercept, especially on LOC. The Airbus is smooth like a big Cadillac.

Yup... That's the "improved" version we have now.  They still insist it's not the final version and I sure hope that's true.  ;)

That said, perspective: the PMDG, in MSFS, is still the overall best representation of an airliner that has ever existed in a desktop sim.  It still tracks LNAV accurately enough to make complex RNP AR procedures usable; it just doesn't do them as smoothly as the real plane does.  But I'm looking forward to their final version

Anyone askes any streamers for their opinion since they're such experts?????

Which streamers would you ask? Emi would say (has said) basically the same thing; LNAV works for now, but needs improvement to match the real aircraft.
