Hi, After reading all the complaints about PMDG I have to say, after flying the 737-800 yesterday for the first time since October: I really enjoyed it. Even though it is not perfect in a lot of areas (missing RTE2 function, AIRINC, etc.) the overall experience for me is still one of the best in MSFS. It is an absolute joy to handfly, its nice to trim, pitch and power flying feels very natural and the performance is great. So overall I am still happy with the product. Just my two cents of positive vibes 😄 Kind regards Martin

Actually the Flying Bulls seem to have 2 GTN750s installed in their DC-6 https://www.flyingbulls.at/de/events-stories/news/die-douglas-dc-6-der-flying-bulls-ist-fit-fuer-die-zukunft

I would really love a good regionaljet. But as long as I am not 100% sure that Aerosoft was NOT involved in the development (or will be in the product support) i will hold of my money.

You guys are amazing!!!!! Thank you very much for this great bird.

Me too ☺️😄 In the sim and in real life.

LOIK is amazing 🙂 My home airfield, where I made my licenses. The scenery designer did an amazing job. I can highly recommend it.

Hi, I went from a 1070 to a 3080 last summer. I am flying on a WHQD monitor. Unfortunately my FPS didnt get the boost i was expecting because my CPU is still a I7 8700K @4,7GHZ which turned out to be the bottleneck of my system. So if you plan to upgrade, maybe think about a new CPU as well. In other games, like Cyberpunk 2077 which i play on my 65" TV in 4K (connected via a 15m loooong HDMI cable) the performance gain was huge. My plan is to upgrade my CPU in the near future. I think thats when the 3080 will start to shine in Flightsim.

On my rig (i7 8700k with a 3080) it was as well loading up fast at the first load. But its running butter smooth in DX12. I get slightly higher fps than in the Fenix. To all the guys with awful fps: As soon as they fix whatever causes the problem on some systems, you can look forward to an amazing Addon. I still cant believe they give away something like this for free.

Microsoft Flight SImulator is mainly responsible that I got super interested in everything aviation related and in the end made my PPL and gliding licnese, signed up in our local flying club where I met a bunch of great people whom i call friends now. So, this little software that came on some floppys and later DVDs influenced my life pretty badly (in a good way🙂) I will definitely fire MSFS up today, download the update and enjoy one of the great givaways we get in SU11 (most probably the A310, the DC3 or the DG1001).

SAS flys the A320 to LIRQ in real life from time to time. I dont think they are all stuck there ;-)

Hi, You can as well hold down the "tab" key on your keyboard while rotating the Alt knob with your mousewheel.

Hi, I really hope that they will create an A320. Like this it can be avoided that they produce some other aircraft like an Embraer E-Jet and prevent some other developer from doing this, because they think its already on the market. With the A320 they can't to much damage. A high qualitity one is already in the making (Fenix) as well as an amazing freeware (FBW). If you want an A320 with bad lateral navigation capabilities, default systems, an awful soundpack and ridiciulous support you can then go for the Aerosoft A320. Kind regards Martin

Hi, I would find a gauge that shows if the pressure on the stick or yoke ist "trimmed away" extremely helpful. When i fly in real life, i feel if the aircraft is well trimmed, because the pressure on your stick or yoke simply disappears. This is something that is hard to simulate in any flightsimulator i ever used. I just cant get the trim right. I am always chasing it. A bit to much, not enough, a bit to much,.... Especially during the approach it makes it a lot harder to be stable. I think PMDG hat something on their 777 PFD during FSX times that showed if the aircraft is trimmed right. As far as i remember it was a inidcation which speed the aircraft will settle at. Kind regards Martin

@Damian Clark As soon as you release Active Sky to MSFS i will buy it at day one. I was using Active Sky for years in the other sims and for me it was always spot on. I was flying the aerosoft CRJ yesterday and the MSFS stock weather engine created an outside air temperature of +25°C at 29.000ft. Something like this has never happened with Active Sky 🙂 Kind regards Martin

Hi, In some situations, I find the sim way to bright as well. A simple brightness slider like we had it in P3D would be amazing. The washed out and overbright feeling strongly depends on the quality of the orthos. In places where yo have good quality images in Bing, the colours and lighting looks amazing. East of LOWI for example, the bing images do have a strange milky, light green touch which makes it look quite strange during daytime. I fly in this region in real life and I can asure you, its by far not as bright there. A sunglass function, as it was present in the Alpha would be a nice addition as well. Martin
