Thursday at 10:45 PM1 day I want this to be a constructive thread, but I am curious about which aircraft...either the PMDG 777 or the Fenix A320, people consider to be higher fidelity, more realistic and most importantly closest to the real thing.I fly both...more often than not the 777, but maybe I'm missing something with the Fenix A320.I often hear that the Fenix A320 is the most comprehensive and realistic commercial flight sim add on there is...I would be interested to hear people's thoughts.

Yesterday at 03:17 AM1 day Author Thanks all so far. Yes, I have both and currently use the PMDG more...but from systems wise, fidelity etc, is the Fenix better?

Yesterday at 03:29 AM1 day Well if you got both than you should be able to tell which one is better, since each user will have a different perspective of which one is better Edited yesterday at 03:30 AM1 day by pete_auau I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
Yesterday at 04:41 AM1 day If you're looking for the best fidelity in this particular simulator, in my opinion, it's FSlabs and Leonardo; that said, nothing comes close to the Hotstart CL650 (again, this is just my personal opinion).
Yesterday at 05:19 AM1 day Wouldn't the question be, do you want to pretend to fly a 777 or an A320? They aren't the same plane. I'm not sure how you'd compare which is "best"; they're different aircraft for different missions. Andrew Crowley

22 hours ago22 hr Got both. Both are great. Main difference is where and how far you fly. A320 is short to medium haul, 777 is medium to long. That’s the main difference. You can find many informative reviews on YouTube. Just like in the real world I guess it’s horses for courses.
22 hours ago22 hr Don't really understand the question, they're entirely different planes so what is there to compare?They're both good planes.
