I’ve been waiting impatiently for a long time now, but they just won’t turn up – i hope they’ll be added to the flight simulation market soon; it’s been dragging on for ages now...🤔

But as we all know, good things take time but in hope not to long anymore !

cheers 😉

Even the VNAV update which was supposed to come before is MIA. So i guess we got some time... 

My wishful thinking is that they’ve decided behind the scenes not to separate the VNAV update from the NEOs and that both will be released soon™. On the other hand, the WT Praetor was originally planned for 2025 as well and is now scheduled for November this year, so…

I'm waiting patiently. I'm more annoyed at the toxic portion of the fs community that thought it was ok to harass Fenix because they didn't meet their deadlines, thus forcing them to no longer give frequent updates on their progress.

Fully agree! It’s a shame a few irresponsible loudmouths ruin it for the rest of us. I don’t want the hype we get from other devs and actually quite like the Fenix way of just dropping quality without all the noise, but their last development update was almost half a year ago. Some kind of news on where things stand would be very welcome.

Either way - can’t wait for the VNAV update and the NEO when they do drop.

I sometimes have blissful dreams at night, that Fenix have been doing some serious cooking behind the scenes and that they release the NEOs, followed by a Fenix A330, in close succession.

....and then I awake, and the world is what it is, and all we have for an A330 is the default (terrible sounds!) or LVFR (terrible!) 😫

😊

I'm sure they're working to deliver a flawless product, just like the current one. It's a rewarding wait.

Personally I love that there are no more progress updates. I don't want to be teased years and months in advance. Give me a preview 2-3 weeks before release and I'm good.

Most anticipated for me Fenix Neo and iFly Max with EFB overhaul and WX radar

I'm with you, I would be over the moon with a Fenix A330! However, I try not to let my thoughts go there as it seems extremely unlikely. Boris is at least considering a soundpack for the default A330 which would certainly enhance it.

I also throw money in the wishing well, hoping Tolliss would redo the terrible Aerosoft A330 project or a Fenix A330 I'd hop on in a minute.

Like everyone else I can't wait for the Fenix Neo's.  It seems more and more at my local airport I see more Neo's than Ceo's these days.  Same for the Max I see more of them at times than the older NG's at this point.  I think its becoming pretty important that we get some Neo's and Max's in our simulator.  As much as I want the Neo from Fenix I am not fully expecting it to arrive just yet.  My prediction is early to mid Summer time frame (hopefully).  Some Neo updates from Fenix would be nice but I can see why they don't.  It could just very well show up and drop in weeks time.  So it just might be sooner rather than later!

The Max is interesting.  You have the iFly Max 8 which is a nice model and its already out.  They are supposedly coming out with the 9 and when and if the 7 and 10 are certified they plan to do those.  However we have not seen a single update from iFly regarding the Max 9 since they announced it last August.  At this rate the Max 7 and Max 10 will be certified before we ever even see the Max 9.  Maybe like the Fenix its coming sooner rather than later and they are just being hush hush about it.  We supposedly have the PMDG Max series aircraft but we really don't know anything about it other than PMDG occasionally dangling a carrot in front of us.  I believe I read the PMDG Max has been on and off the burner since 2020 so I am starting to feel its probably never actually coming.  I believe it was real close but RR at PMDG does not want to go head to head with iFly but does not want to publicly say that.  Very similar to the sound update for the 777.  It will be coming forever!

Maybe with a bit of luck the PMDG Max will drop between now and the 747-100?  I think the 747-100 is a ways off and PMDG will need another revenue stream since they just released the 737-700.  I would be really surprised if the 747-100 makes it before Xmas and PMDG could probably use some revenue in the 4th quarter of this year.  Just food for thought but it does make sense!          

+1 for the a330 by Fenix 

The thing I've learned about Fenix is that the wait is always worth it. When they release something, it is in near perfect condition -- more so than any other developer. So, as the wait can feel long, at least when we do finally get the shiny new plane, we don't have to spend a ton of time complaining about why they should've taken more time to release a finished bird.

Been thinking about the NEOs almost every day now... almost as if that would bring them any closer to release. 😁
