😅😁

I have a list already below so in case anyone has questions about a plane they don't own...

Commercial/Airliners in rough order: Just Flight Anything, Fenix, PMDG 737/777, FSS E-Jets

General Aviation in very rough order: Black Square Anything, Just Flight Anything, Ffx C750/Vision/Hjet, A2A Anything, FSReborn 500, FlySimWare 414/Lear, COWS 42, Caproni C22J, Big Radials Goose, SWS Kodiak/PC12, Blackbird 310/Porter.

Again, rough order. Some like the NextGen EMB 110 I haven't flown in 2 years so I left it off my list. The IFE jets are fun but I hardly use them.

Been away from tubeliners for awhile, and I just started flying them again. I own the Fenix, iFly Max, PMDG 737 and PMDG 777. My favorite by far is iFly 737 Max. Least favorite, is the Fenix.

Airliners: 

1. iFly MAX (by far!)

2. Fenix A320

3. PMDG Boeings

Can't wait for the return of the Majestic Q400 in MSFS!  The A350 looks like quite a beast as well.

 

General Aviation:

1. BlackSquare Dukes 

2. FlightFX Vision Jet

3. SWS PC-12

I missed out on the A2A sale but the Comanche looks amazing.

Happy Landings

Well, do you know most 3rd party developers actually work from home, and yes some in basements? What's wrong with that?

Now my office home is actually in the second floor, and I have 2 laptops, 3 PCs, 2 screens, several joysticks, throttles, mouses, keyboards, 1 Xbox-S and 1 Xbox-X.

If making a turboprop with that equipment, the help of 2 Brazilian pilots that fly the real aircraft 3 times a week, 1 flying school of the type, get recording data directly from Garmin g1000 for systems data and simulations, charting a real M500 for 1 day to record the sounds and invest 18 moths of development on it is a basement budget, then great, it did the job.

Is so easy to judge people, all I care is putting a smile to customers with the experience of my products, if 1 person does, job done. I don't need to lease a building with 3 floors to achieve that, instead I can use that money to build more products and better products for customers that appreciate the end results.

Best,

Raul

I asked @lupedelupe and someone who agreed with him to share what they thought was budget basement about the FSR

id genuinely like to know, but as anticipated, all I got for an answer was crickets chirping 😂

IMHO, the FSR is quite a well done addon. To the point when it is frequently my First Choice when deciding what to fly (even tho I might prefer a different aircraft if I were to fly IRL). 

mostly that all comes down to the work you put into the flight model, combined with the great aspects of the rest of the package. 👍

It is quite well done and as Ryan said its flight model for a single engine turbine is very good, as good or better than the Blacksquare. What I can't stand about the aircraft is its interior texturing -- the plane looks sterile, beyond factory new to the point it loses its realism and I have a hard time sitting in it. It is not just that it does not look used, it just looks unreal to my eye, and so I very seldom fly it as it breaks my immersion, which is sad as it is an excellent aircraft.

The 441 Cessna Conquest II perhaps?

It is how the real aircraft is inside.. I understand if it is not apealing for you, everyone has different taste, etc. but honeslty, we did it exaclty as the airplane is, this shots are from real M500:

I think most people are expecting to see and old and weared aircraft, but in reality the M Class are very new type of aircrafts, and they keep themselves very well since is not an aircraft that would be used for Passengers transportation (like PC-12, otters, etc), is more like an aircraft you keep as a owner and as such, you would treat it very well.

The M500 should not to be confused with the old Meridians class, where some of them were converted to a tuborprop version, those are pretty old, also have older avionics, etc. and would present more wear and tear.

Thanks for the feedback.

I guess that’s a fair take, and you should only fly what makes you happy 🤙

for me, the FSR is very much like driving a brand new luxury car - everything is still pristine and fresh. 

Perhaps it could do with a few scratches and rub marks, I guess. But IMHO, I think the seemingly increasing tendency towards beat up cockpits has its own downsides.

after all, every aircraft is factory fresh off the line at the beginning of its life. And I can certainly enjoy that just as much as a 30 year old cargo bird, etc  

but TBH, it’s the aircraft itself I really like. 

Similar to the TBM and Longitude, the systems are so highly automated that the resulting cockpit UX is actually relatively simple. 

which allows me to focus more on the flight and piloting and less on all the switches spread all over most cockpits, especially those in older steam gauge aircraft. 

in any case, neither preference has anything to do with “bargain basement”, which I take to mean an aircraft of low fidelity.

Now is a good time to mention that I found a solution to removing those white seat covers in the M500.  It comes from our forum contributor ryanbatc as a livery mod available on flightsim.to  . Looks great : named 'Ocean Blue Metallic livery and Interior for FSR500' .

The original interior mod is done by master painter @Tim-HH - Tim and I also have a lot of "FSR500" liveries 🙂
