I understand your position and i also very much respect and appreciate the openness you have stated about others having a different opinion respecting and accepting that. I also think it is ok to be disappointed in some of the youtubers talking about certain aspects of the product and not demonstrating it. However, where we do diverge a little is ultimately whose fault is that really? One could argue that if British Avgeek talked about certain failures then it would behoove him to show a little demonstration. Is it then Bluebirds fault that it wasn't shown even though it was mentioned on Avgeeks video? One could argue that Bluebird should have stipulated to the people who have gotten press copies that more advanced feature sets should be demonstrated in their videos. Or maybe they just provided the demos to the creators with minimal stipulations. Being that this is the first go round for a fully fleshed out product for Bluebird i would not expect promotion perfection and detailed marketing stipulation to independent creators but you never know. I guess what i am getting at is that we dont specifically know how the promotion was to be laid out and what specific directives were given to the creators so for me this is simply a VALID critique that should be taken onboard for the next go round rather than apportioning some sort of negative connotation or blame to the dev and certainly not an actual critique of the product itself .. because ultimately the general public has no idea as to the products full capabilities as yet. So i personally don't mind you having reservations on the product and waiting for post release feedback. Maybe if you had distilled your comment to "Didn't see what i am looking for as yet but will check the post release feedback" the discussion would have had a little less objection. But then again this is Avsim. We love to get our opinions across. Cheers

Looking good so far. Doing FLL to CLT and currently en route Initially I loaded in with black screens but I wasn’t logged in to the fenix app. Once logged in and approving its firewall request all was good. Signed into the navigraph.. updated the database and off to the races! One thing to note… them updated ECAM warnings do not play! I’ve been a little rusty with the Airbus ops and as soon as I took off two of them dropped in for the transponder and TCAS.. now you have to clear the caution button on the glare shield as well. I don’t recall having to clear those warnings on the glare shield lol.

Pretty much said the same thing in a previous topic and was told that my take on trusting Sherv based on his prior work at Posky was "wild". Well from my recollection i have never seen any of his work as low effort so it would have been surprising for him to break that consistency now. I'm forever grateful that the Posky guys were around at the time for broke college guys like me who could at least give us a decent taste of what a high quality model and paint should look like.. all we needed to do was find a good panel and we were in business. I'm also very happy to see some of you like yourself @Steve Dra and @Tavers still at it. Don't know what happened to the Japan guys and Dickson et al but please know there are lots of people out there who appreciated your collective work. A heartfelt thank you.

Good for you for being there during that time however my opinion does not change.

Can you tell me who was objectively crafting better freeware models in the FS98-2004 era ? I think anyone who was actually simming during that time (Ive been simming since version 4.00 for dos) can vouch for their attention to detail. Feel free to have an opposing opinion if you wish. Actually from where im sitting your disrespect for the developers who have put in the time and effort to deliver high quality contributions to the community especially during that time period i just mentioned is indeed wild. Lets just agree to disagree here because yeah you probably were not around during that time.

Posky (Project Opensky) was a collective of devs. Yes he was a member.

Are you in the BETA branch?

Review video at 4:50. If your on MSFS2020 This is it for you guys .. no 300 (Unless of course you all move over to MSFS2024) If your on MSFS2024 You get the 200 Now and the 300 Free when its ready. It will have to be native because they aren't working with MSFS2020 model wise after this release. Freighters ... no mention in the video but i am going to assume paid.
-
You don't know who he (the developer) is and that's totally fair .. Just like i don't know who the Vector people are and im treating the Vector group with a lot more caution. But im willing to give Sherv (Bluebird) a little more trust because i am familiar with the owners history. Yes this is the devs first complete high fidelity product in this sim but i know from when he was doing freeware his standards are high. But yes the proof of the pudding is in the eating !!
-
The Freighters i think will be charged separate. From the video linked earlier in the thread the 300 will not be charged for the people who are purchasing the 757-200. (If i am mistaken or mis understood someone is welcome to call that out). It does appear though that they are going to focus on the current sim (msfs2024) going forward though which places doubt on a 2020 compatible 300. (Again from what i am understanding from the video)

I personally did not have issues with PMDG's cabin implementation then Based on what is on offer and as long as they have delivered on what they are promising (high fidelity systems/sounds/failures/exterior modelling/flight dynamics) im ok with the value proposition. If you think its too expensive for not having a detailed cabin with lav then maybe some addons are just not for you. I made that evaluation with the Leonardo product when they were asking for 90 bucks back in msfs2020 days where they also fell short on a few things. Not to say you cant make your opinion known but i would hope upon release you make an informed decision and just deal with it.

@btacon Thanks for the copy pasta ! :) 👌

This is essentially the drag fix candidate https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/release-notes-su7-1-beta-1-9-20-0-october-16-2026/778934

From what i can see from that drag thread it looks like the potential fix is going to be pushed to Beta (Flighting) by around the weekend. If successful then they push to the main build. https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/t/su7-engine-performance-or-drag-is-wrong/18609/30
