Anyone know anything about this?  Just saw it today.

simMarket: RHDSIMULATIONS 767-300ER MSFS

Interesting....  Never heard of the dev.  Seems to have arrived out of the blue.

More pics of cabin then anything else and lack of pictures of cockpit instrumentation is a red flag to me.

Looks like another "CTRL-E" type unfortunately.

Hard pass .... Like those seats (benches?) in the cabin.

No thank you I will wait on Blue Bird Simulations.

The immediate concern is the price.  Not that I'm complaining about a EUR 30 price, but it does indicate a simplified aircraft.  I think the cockpit looks fine (fine, not state of the art) and if it had relatively convincing hand flying characteristics and there was a reasonably convincing VNAV on departure (eg. commanding V2+a bit for climbout, transitioning to 250kts, then a reasonable cruise speed), I might consider it.   On a YouTube vid, the dev states emphatically that it's not a Captain Sim level, eg simple reference to the 747 systems) and that the screens etc are custom-made.  He does also clearly admit that it's not study level.  

Will be watching some vids.    For me, it might be passable, it it feels relative convincing in a straightforward A-B flight regime.

Well, for about $25 you get a nice outside model.

Cockpit-wise, low quality, about 70% of the switches don't work across the cockpit, FMC does not even have 40% of the functionality, the symbology of the ND resembles the Airbus, and flight dynamics are terrible, MCP is very buggy and some dials also are not working well or off, unfortunately, there are so many issues.

IMHO will not even qualify for the early beta version.

Very disappointing, to be honest, I don't feel bad spending this money for encouragement.

After about 1. hrs I had enough of trying to make any sense of this "revelation".

Thanks for the feedback.👍  This one will be a hard pass for me.  By all means, please post these findings in the Simmarket review section so others get a heads up and not get screwed on their purchase.

How many  🚩🚩🚩🚩 does anyone need?

• No pre-launch advertising / PR
• Product pricing of €13.79 in XP12 and €7.79 in XP11 for their A320
• A trailer that spends ~90% of the video length outside of the cockpit
• Only FMS functionality shown is altitude hold and heading select. No switches nor FMC use shown.

I know waiting for a high-quality product is difficult, but you don't get quality for cheap.

Well, if you get "screwed" on this purchase, it's on you, the buyer, because you really don't need to be Albert word not allowed Einstein to understand what "modified cockpit screens, to replicate the real aircraft" means.

OTOH, there is a large market outside the Avsim filter bubble of simmers who are fine with this and have no intention of spending a week's worth of groceries on a "study level" addon.

Just reading the description tells you all you really need to know.

`Simple IRS System`

with no other mention of any regarding sytems logic except for the fuel system. There is however a plethora regarding the modelling, animations, effects etc. Product speaks for itself really.

I checked out the trailer and in the comments, the dev links to an article where it says it uses default 747 as a backbone, but the dev claims to be "extensively modified", which Captain Sim hasn't done.

This addon is essentially Captain Sim 767 with Salty Mod already installed.

Atleast the CS birds look good

Ahhhh, that's a shame! Never mind.  Thanks to @LRBS for picking it up and "taking one for the team" 😎

I did suddenly realize last night that I recoginsed the name "RHD Simulations" ; as the dev that released that A320 for like 8 quid on simmarket 😄
