March 15Mar 15 I have absolutely no clue by what metric you measure that. Sounds like reading a horoscope to me.
March 15Mar 15 I just can't find it "immersive" with these textures. It's an amazing A346 simulator, great sound, nice flight model (that i'm aware of - not an actual pilot) but when you LOOK at anything... Ugh. If you don't care much about texture quality, go for it. To me it's overpriced because of this, and it's not even a native MSFS2024 model for €72 (if you include my 23% VAT which i fortunately avoided). Whether we like it or not, a good graphic package is important and the bar has been set very very high already.

March 15Mar 15 Like you @RobJC I really like the Fenix A320 and in ini A350. So if thats any kind of measure I would say you will like the A340. Seeing lots of comments about the textures but in all honesty, in the cockpit, I just dont see any issues. In parts of the cabin and wheel wells, yes but I spend zero time in the cabin and wheel wells during a flight! Its quite a unique aircraft and given Tollis involement and QoL features like autosave, scenario save and replay, I think its worth the money.

From chatgpt… Immersion in a flight simulator means how completely the simulation makes you feel like you’re actually flying the airplane. The more your brain forgets you’re sitting at a computer and instead reacts like you’re in a cockpit, the more immersive the sim is. To me it is everything. The visual side. How real does it look? How realistic are the sounds of everything? Switch clicks, engine spooling, hydraulic sounds, where those sounds are coming from? Interacting with the FMS. How screens react. Flight dynamics. There are hundreds of things but you can definitely tell when a developer puts it all together. When they do, the experience is believable. Like with the Fenix and the A350. When they don't, all these things just don’t add up in a way that makes the experience immersive. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 96GB DDR5 | 4K G-Sync | Win11 Pro
March 15Mar 15 You don't have to explain to me what immersion is. I'm just saying it is a nonsense metric, like a horoscope. Because it is whatever you think it is and no one else can decide that for you.

To me the most immersive airplanes are the fslabs neo, the tfdi md11 and the fenix. everyone will have a different combination Juan Ramos

I planned FACT /AT98, but for some reason it was not liking that route and simply wasn't loading. I planned another route - much shorter (FACT/FAOR), and it loaded fine. Overall, I am much more impressed with this aircraft than i thought i would be. The textures are nowhere near as bad as they come across in Youtube videos. Cockpit textures are more than acceptable, even though they are not as high res as Fenix. I sincerely hope they do an A330. Completely different animal to fly with regards take-off and landing and extremely hard to slow down. That really takes some thinking through One major annoyance is no auto-step climb (yet). Hope we get that soon. Edited March 16Mar 16 by ErichB

Either their fame from XP is not accurate (or low expectations) or they just failed/decided not to implement as much as their XP version here in MSFS. How easy the tables turn, eh?

March 16Mar 16 Have anyone from Aerosoft aknowledged the quite bad external lightning? No beacon "splash" on the top on the wing/winglet for example

And as someone who did work for Aerosoft once (his job there paid for his pilots license), it's even more poignant, considering that one might expect some more leniecy towards shortcomings, because of the positive times he had at the company when he was there. But he certainly didn't hold back at all.

I confess I'm not an admirer of the former Boeing now Airbus driver way of communicating, but I do watch some of his videos, and being a professional we can always take some important info out of the content. But I was surprised by the way he expressed his opinion about the Toliss 346 😕 I didn't know he was a former Aerosoft cooperator. Anyway, the problems he pointed out are true bugs / limitations. Soe belong to the "graphics department" but of much more concern to me are aspects that have to do with the systems modelling, like that one about the on-the-fly calculation of the optimal cruise altitude based on wind updates.
