I kinda disagree with this.... I am FSL fan but have nothing bad to say. As a matter of fact they are very comparable (on my surprise TBH) and didn't mean that nobody else can make good workable Airbus....Just that we were used to good product by FSL, which indeed is (was). However Fenix is excellent really, and I do have issue (personal) that engine sound is not even close to the real bus....But again, my problem and not a complaint....Other than that, very nicely done in V2. P.S. Oh BTW I am unable to set rudder calibration on take off.....woobly for me but will try to test few more settings for that... Alex

It’s quite a striking paint scheme, so rare to see a dark coloured airliner these days. The Jets A320 can make for some interesting simming too, lots of sports teams to virtually haul around to unusual airports or corners of airports for airliners.

There are elements of the door security mechanism that are visually modeled in the PMDG if you know what you're looking at - because these things are openly visible to pax when the door is open - but their operation will never be modeled. I still don’t get this RSR security door whatever, looks like typical RSR excuse 🤷🏽♂️ AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5 6000MHZ RAM, RX7900XT, FreeSync 165hz 1440p display
March 6, 20242 yr Oi. Thought I'd give the Fenix the good ole try. Installation issues (AV off) and still tablet doesn't connect. This is of course after several attempts to simply load it in the first place. Each time it would end in a freeze, CTD before loading and now after the 5th reinstall attempt (several restarts of PC and sim) .... the tablet doesn't work. Cool. I will fly something else until they fix this. (and yes, I followed their guide on the tablet issues as well).

I'm getting pretty decent results with rudder damping on, sensitivity -40%, dead zone 3%, reactivity 70%. With this I have no problem maintaining centre line, even with a bit of x-wind. Taxi using rudder for tiller is also a breeze - the plane feels nice and sturdy on the ground. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

We were just clarifying that Robert never said they wouldn't make it possible to open the 737 cockpit door at some point, just that they'd never model actual operation of the FDAS system for obvious reasons. I've never bothered trying to open the door in the Fenix or anything else, but I assume it's just a click spot somewhere? It would be extremely irresponsible for a dev to actually model the operation of the system, and illegal for any SME to actually give a dev that information as it's all SSI. Andrew Crowley

What is going to happen when they release the MAX? will it even have functioning outside doors and missing bolts? Yeah the Elite of Flight sim since 2000.

I'm still trying to understand what folks are having trouble with, about this. Are you honestly suggesting that security sensitive operations should be modeled in a video game? Do you suppose DCS should model classified sensor capabilities as well? That would actually be less immediate of a security threat, I'd think. There are folks who just like to look for any opportunity to bash a dev that isn't their chosen one. Obviously, there's a baseline level of silliness in that... But if you're gonna do it, it at least has to make some kind of SENSE. 😉 Andrew Crowley

DCS is cartoon into reality though Just like MSFS. P3D and Xplane too. Believe what you want you a RWP but stop the nonsense. Edited March 6, 20242 yr by JBDB-MD80
March 6, 20242 yr 46 minutes ago, JBDB-MD80 said: Believe what you want you a RWP but stop the nonsense. What nonsense? I think there's a lack of understanding here. What was originally claimed was that PMDG wouldn't model an openable cockpit door for security reasons. That's simply incorrect. What they said was, they wouldn't accurately model the security mechanism on the door, for security reasons. Because yes, if they did, then folks could use a video game to learn how it worked. This would obviously be ridiculous. This same system exists on Airbuses, but I'm willing to bet Fenix has not modeled it. How do you open the door in the Fenix? Do you just click on the knob? Do you honestly think you just turn the knob to open the door in reality, in the post-9/11 world? Andrew Crowley
