July 9Jul 9 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.

July 10Jul 10 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?

July 10Jul 10 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 July 10Jul 10 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
July 10Jul 10 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).
July 10Jul 10 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

July 10Jul 10 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.
July 10Jul 10 Don't really understand the question, they're entirely different planes so what is there to compare?They're both good planes.
