    Probably one of the best planes I’ve ever flown in a simulation. 100% go ahead.

    No suprise BOB. Like all your posts. If its not PMDG or MSFS2020 its boring and no good! Time to take off the blinders!

  • Fenix is a reliable ship to fly and works fine in 2024.. soon the BFU will make it native to 2024 which will bring many blessings for us! You'll enjoy it even now i think...

It's nice to switch back and forth, keeps me on my toes. Landing the Fenix and the Boeings is certainly different. 

Variety is the spice of flight and all that jazz!

I'm not into Malware add-ons with my aircraft, so I will stick with Fenix.

Just my feeling, I don't deal with companies I don't respect. You do what you want, nobody is stopping you.

Sure Bob you can if not respect FSL and support Fenix just like you do PMDG that is your choice and  I respect that. FSL fiasco happened 8 years or  so how long can we hold on this? Will I buy it in MSFS         Nope.

Here we go. 
 

whenever I see this, it reminds me of kids saying “I know you are you said you are but what am I”. Stop being so stubborn and silly. You don’t need to own it to see the screenshots and countless reviews saying exactly what I just said. BUT BUT DO YOU OWN THE FENIX???

So in other words you don't have a reason why other than personal preference. Thats fine!

You can have a personal preference, doesn’t mean the observation is correct. You can’t tell me the visuals on the labs is better than the Fenix. Cmon guys.

I own the Toliss A320 for Xplane, the Fenix for MSFS and the FSLabs for MSFS and here is how I rank them personally.

Visual's
1-Fenix
2-FSLabs
3-Toliss

System's
1-Toliss
2-FSLabs
3-Fenix

My Preference
1-FSLabs
2-Toliss
3-Fenix

All 3 of these birds offer something that the other does not,  These are my preferences and my overall winner is the FSLabs.  Visual fidelity isn't the only thing that matter's.

I will say this the FSLabs has the best looking font's on the displays and are not as aliased as the Fenix,  When using TAA and Frame Gen the Font's are a huge factor.

Another reason why I went for the FSL, systems integrity is really important for me.

I'm not sure why the FSL has a reputation for poor visuals. The Fenix may set the bar, but I think the A321 is comparable if not better than the PMDG 738.

FS2024 • PMDG 738, 77F • FSL A321 • A2A Comanche, Aerostar • BS Baron, Bonanza, Caravan Pro • JF Tomahawk • TAOG H500C
BeyondATC • GSX Pro • ChasePlane & Flow Pro • TDS GTNXi • FSUIPC • AutoFPS • RealTurb

9800X3D B650E • ROG OC RTX 5090 • 64GB DDR5-6000 • VKB Gladiator, STECS, T-Rudder • Tobii 5 • ISP 1 Gbps

Once you learn the Airbus Logic you will probably like it way more than Boeings lack of logic.

The Airbus way really is very intuitive.

I think that clanking round the sky in the 738 pushing loads of buttons is actually quite enjoyable 😉

A321 look fine to me, I am not out at 35000 feet trying to look at all the detail on the nose gear or in the wheel well.

System's depth is most important to me and the FSL and Toliss both are ahead of the Fenix.

The Fenix is still a very very good addon.
