Probably a consequence of their snail pace development, that business decisions that seemed good a year or two or more ago are no longer, given the current MSFS market. An A330 surely would've been a better initial release, or even a Concorde.

Now let's see if what they said before about certain never-seen-before features could be a differentiating factor, but I just can't see this doing all that well given the Fenix. 
 

I concur.  A FSL 330 would have been phat stacks of cash!

Yeah, calling Fenix's anything "cartoony" is first-degree coping. 

Hope for a neo too

No way this will look better than the Fenix. The Fenix is the maximum of what is possible with MSFS 2020.

Also the FSL A320s looked awful in P3D in my opinion, I hated to be in that cockpit back then. It just looked bad.

Look at the overhead of the Fenix and glareshield. Could be a bit better I think. Like I said a little. Don't overreact so much. We will see how good the fslabs.

I do wish the FSLabs Team honestly a good start into MSFS2020/2024. They did work on a product for us simmers and I admit, that I also predict a smaller piece of the big cake for them, since FENIX rolled out a complete A319/320/321 fleet (except NEO).

It must be hard for FSLabs to see this happening and of course they are responsible for their own business and business decisions. But nontheless there are people with emotions working over there and if I where at their company, I would have become a headache seeing FENIX delivering and being so succesfull.

@FSLabs; Welcome at MSFS2020 with your first product and I hope to see more from you in future. I wish a high fidelity A350 and A330......if you deliver them.....I would surely be happy to buy them if quality/price are balanced.

My message is honestly and there is no irony in it, to make that clear.

I loved their products in P3D!!!

I agree. I wish them success. I just don't see it happening unless their goals for "success" are quite limited.

The cockpit looks little better then fenix. Fenix look during daytime little cartoony, But will it be worth the money when you already got the fenix who knows. Maybe they do some ground breaking stuff like in p3d. 

Actually Fenix's flight deck textures are lot more realistic and crisper as well as HD then Fslabs, From the screenshots above - Fslabs flight deck textures looks almost similar to what they have in P3D version. 

Bizarre choice of product. Already been squeezed for all variants and then some more for sharklets in P3D. I agree competition is a good thing but no thanks FSlabs.

Back in the P3D era, I thought FSLabs' A32x series cockpit texturing looked *worse* than Aerosoft's A320 Pro [grabs helmet and dives for cover...]

It all depends if they will sell in the Market Place and if it will be compatible with Xbox. If the answer is yes, they have an unexplored market Fenix can’t reach.

I somehow think it’ll be a no for both of those items….

There is absolutely no reason for another a320-21. None. We need a good A330 and maybe even a a340-200/300 & 500-600. I understand the 340 isn’t running around much anymore but hey, I see some classics coming in soon… why not for nostalgia sake.

Yeah their initial texturing for P3D was horrible - but later was updated, There are replacement textures available which I currently use in P3D to make the flight deck look reasonable. 

 

From the screenshots above it looks like similar textures has been used for msfs version - maybe bit more polished then P3D version.

Me too, but I think it’s their only chance.
