If you need to eat 100 plates of Pasta Bolognese to figure out the ingredients, then I dunno what to tell you.

Cockspur mentioned upon the release of the Phenom 100 that they had "hired a sound engineer to completely rework the sound." WEHT that announcement?

For one thing, there will be fewer loudmouths around to proclaim that MSFS 2024 will "fail", will be like "Microsoft Flight" and is "just for the Xbox-kiddies." 🤣

4 pages about this whole lot of nothing. Since I don't open the Flow wheel every second, the few times I do I'm not bothered by a logo. I find the response from the company appropriate, albeit a bit "cheeky".😉

Same here. The only time I notice them is when they are in the middle of the runway or taxi way. But some folks seem to have a "tree fetish".😁

If I want to do a long-haul, I'll take the time (very very rare these days) and actually do a long-haul - following a real-world flight. If I don't have the time (and I usually don't), I'll try to find a realistic short route that is done with a "long-hauler". I neither use time compression or "jump ahead" features. But, to each their own.

It's a video game, nobody is going to stop you from doing short-hauls with the A350

Too little too late. Maybe someone will make us pay for rain drops again.

The Citation Longitude is a great plane, and I've logged many sim hours in it, but, avionics aside, the rest is lackluster - you're practically just flying a cockpit, kinda like in FS9/FSX/P3d. There has to be a significant demand for a long range business jet in the sim. Not sure why developers keep turning out those poodle jumper and jalopy planes. Maybe because they can't be bothered developing a new avionics package, and it's easier just to slap decent visuals around the -admittedly great - default avionics package done by WT.

I bought their sound pack for the Longitude. After an update, the sound pack stopped working. Tried to get support through various channels. No such luck. Plus, why do I have to get a Patreon subscription to "purchase" your addons? What's next? I'll need an Only Fans account to access the sim?

I'm sure P3d does SOME things better than MSFS. P3d excelled in one area, though: crushing your wallet, because you needed to spend at least a couple of Bennies right out of the gate just to make it look halfway decent.

Here is my list: 1. Citation Longitude 2. Cirrus Vision Jet 3. Citation CJ4 4. Honda Jet Dead last: Cockspur's Embraer Phenom 100

PMDG haven't been "industry leading" for a long time. Maybe back in the days of TR's Fly!

I made a mistake in buying their 737 BBJ. Atrocious texture work, jpeg-textures, fuzzy resolution, a cockpit door you can't open, etc. Low-rez cabin, etc. And before someone comes in here and says: but it flies like the real thing! Well, yeah, PMDG have been at this plane pretty much for decades.

The common term for this is cash grab.
