Haters gonna hate.  PMDG is like Marmite. 

I don't love the guy but still buy the stuff.

I try not to 'cut off my nose to spite my face.'

Short & positive report: TakeOff at LOWW (payware), RW 29 towards the city of Vienna (Prealsoft). ActiveSky (very cloudy), FSLTL ( 50 a/c). 60 fps (using LosslessScaling x2).

Sounds like the aircraft is a success overall, good to hear. I'll wait a few weeks to pick up as I'm too busy for long hauls at the moment, by then any needed updates will have been pushed and things will be smoother. I hope everyone enjoys their flying over the next few days and at the weekend!

Loving the aircraft i think i may have to park the Fenix for a while.

I just installed it, and hand flew a quick circuit.

It worked perfectly. felt the same as it does in P3D, albeit it felt huge and heavy, as the last couple of weeks I've just been flying GA planes I bought in the marketplace sale.

The turning when taxiing works properly, so hopefully they can sort this in the 737 now, as it is a pain having to use differential brakes as well as turning the tiller for tight turns in the 737.

I found that after flying the PMDG 737, flying the Fenix quickly became boring to me, nothing to do but sit there. Probably will be the same with the 777.

I mean, same thing with the 737 once you're at cruise.

320 Sim Pilot is one of the few IRL pilots and simmer personalities I love to watch, for his insightful and unbiased/no-nonsense reviews... I didn't realize he is 777 and 787 rated now. A great initial review based on the pre-release version, and like V1-Simulations and Into the Blue Simulations he loves it, one of his final quotes is how he loved the plane's "amazing, amazing handling".

RSR aside, PMDG looks to have a winner here right out of the gate.. and if their major problem on release was how their e-commerce providers who scaled up the systems to handle 7x the sales of 737 still couldn't keep up with demand in the initial minutes (20 sales per second for over 4 minutes!!), ya that's a darn good problem to have.

Gonna grab this once I get some sim time on my hands in a couple of weeks, hopefully will be even smoother flying with any new major bugs ironed out 🙂 Let the high fidelity widebody/long-haul era of MSFS begin, and bring on the FBW A380, iniBuilds A350, etc!

Waiting for the Simbrief Profile to be be released!

1940 77W on Volanta right now - Of course I can't see if they are all PMDG MSFS but gives you an idea.

I mean it‘s alway the same: People (me including) complain and complain and make fun, but in the end PMDG just deliver a high-quality, almost bug free, well performing study level aircraft. The only time they really failed was when they released that useless UFT for the 737. Even that is now more useful on the 777 with the control of doors etc.

I noticed on 320 Sim Pilots stream that the white border around the PFD was back. I couldn’t stand when we had that issue before and I’m hoping that’s somehow an option that’s turned on? It’s weird, I haven’t seen it since a few sim updates ago and my mouth dropped when I just saw it.

indeed, you could tell from the pre-release streams (two-tier gaming, streamer overlords is something I hate....) that it flew beautifully, other than the nose-down trim thing Blackbox found
