December 18, 20241 yr Great video. I’d agree with his comments broadly. Having had a few days to poke around with it I’m finding a lot of depth to the systems and getting your head around the whole ATSU/GSX thing is fun, if not particularly user friendly. Also setting up the controls is torturous, a 30 second job in the Fenix…
December 18, 20241 yr Its funny seeing one guy in the comments saying the Fenix is Captain Sim and the FSLabs is better in every way. Seems they are the only one saying the Fenix is Captain Sim. Edited December 18, 20241 yr by carlanthony24

December 18, 20241 yr Overall Into the blue says they like the detail in cockpit and external one or 2 areas lacking. No cabin model unless in drone mode. Cockpit visuals looks very nice and supasses expectations. Blue also mentions and thinks most would agree Fenix has better visuals along with it being more detailed and true to life. Flight Model ground handling not a fan of the nose wheel steering and needs to be revisited. Takeoff roll felt nice along with manuel flight. FSLabs slightly more on rails than the Fenix and in terms of handling he prefers Fenix. Feels FSLabs is closer to the numbers. Approach nice to handfly. Flare wise did not expect it to do what it did, put down to hardware more than anything. Felt no response. Seemed unrealistic again due to hardware. In Blue humble opinion if you want an aircraft that flies like the airbus he says Fenix but want an aircraft that flies by the numbers you may be better with the FSLabs. Aircraft systems on par with the Fenix and from what hes slightly seen more in depth on the FSLabs. Sounds nice internally slight clipping and abrupt changes at times but pretty accuarate and immersive. Externally some nice aspects, once airborne found them lackluster. Prefers Fenix sounds more. Product extras where FSLabs shines. In terms of feature set overall realism feels it beats the competition. In summary if you want an aircraft that looks amazing then Fenix is better option. In terms of flight model Fenix handles a little better while FSLabs flies closer to the numbers. System on par with FSLabs offering deeper system simulation. He does go on to say Fenix offers more value for money.
December 18, 20241 yr Has anyone said how it compares to Fenix as far as graphic performance? It it easier or harder on frames?

December 18, 20241 yr Could I remind everyone that this is the initial release. Updates, hot-fixes and patches are bound to follow. The Fenix wasn't exactly perfect on Day 1 either.

December 18, 20241 yr So what is the price of the FSL Airbus. I went to their website/ store, and it is blank. Anyway is it more than the $49 Fenix price? https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/store/ Edited December 18, 20241 yr by Bobsk8
