Because LIDO charts only covers airports that airliners would fly into - with the exception that WT coded the other areas to utilize FAA charts when in USA. So flying USA only? LIDO/FAA covers you fine. But fly outside of the USA and into smaller airports... there won't be any charts available. Navigraph covers that.

Yeah basically It can look great from like 1000 ft AGL and up (if it's loading correctly which sometimes their servers struggle - so it looks bad)... but on the ground its always ugly like that.

It's the black button behind the power levers. I mean it's on the throttle shaft or whatever you call it. it's more visible when you move the levers Forward

It is true there are some rough spots on the textures. They are trying to refine some areas like this. Is that my paint though? Or is it default? Its possible I have old base textures.

I've actually never seen preset views on any addons- but I use track IR so I don't use them at all. What addons have them as presets?

Dang that's a great deal. I've got a MC about 50 min from my house. Sadly I'm almost certain my RTX 4080 wouldn't cut it though. You really need a 4090 or 5090 for that.

I wasn't a rampie but I frequented the ramp in Duluth very often - taking photos or saying hi to pilots. The APU to me seems nice and loud like it should be. It is true about the manuals though - they are a WIP. Checklists are in the G5000 home page OR on the EFB. Thankfully it's pretty straightforward and similar to the Longitude for startup - it's very automated. The CAS basically tells you what you need to do. You don't need bleed air from the APU to start though - it's all electric vs pneumatic on the Longitude. Don't forget the control lock which is by your right but cheek LOL.

Neither the Phenom nor the Sovereign's interior textures match the Longitude. Most addons aren't matching them. Asobo contracted with a third party studio - Lakshya if you care - to produce super high end models and textures for the Longitude, CJ4, Cirrus, TBM etc. Only a few payware addons match that quality imo.

I'm going to comment because I had access to both the Phenom and the Sovereign prior to release (I guess due to me being good at painting or something hehe). The Phenom is a bit higher end than the Sovereign - but visually they are actually pretty close. Both interiors could have been better imo. However, and you may have seen on the FSReborn discord, FSR had to lower the clarity/resolution based on complaints from Xbox users. This sets a precedent that I'm actually concerned about for the future of this sim. We know console is the favored platform from the business end... I'm frustrated that the image clarity and aggressive LOD that I can run on PC keeps getting lowered in favor of console users. There's simply NO way a 600 dollar Xbox can look as good as my 4000 dollar PC. (And mine's mid range now!) I didn't spend that kind of money to have my sim settings lowered and lowered and lowered by Asobo ANYWAY, back on topic.... I prefer the Sovereign's sounds. The systems go to the Phenom, but only slightly - just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not being modelled. Both Raul and John went really deep with the Phenom and Sovereign, respectively. IMO, the Sovereign has a slight leg up for the flight model - but both are exceptional. Both aircraft were also in production for quite a while - Both are and will receive further updates. Even though some of us here might prefer a product to come out bug free - I just don't think it's really possible anymore...especially with the sales volume MSFS devs are seeing. These aren't the FSX days hehe. Many many people have a copy of these addons and it's impossible to catch every little bug. (or every big bug - cause those do happen).

Hmm thanks not as fancy as the TEB FBOs. Although in their defense TEB is heavy on the bizjets irl! ATL is more about airliners.

Under 30 USD - that's cheap! Too cheap for such a nice addon hehe

Ahhh thanks Bob. I didn't clarify but I meant in the scenery hehe. I'm guessing it looks similar :)

I couldn't find one pic of Signature FBO at ATL... can anyone show me a pic? It's on the north side just east of the hotel.

Companies use the marketplace mainly for security and product visibility.... and of course to support console. I'd bet the marketplace sales would do 10x that of a developer's own shop. Just speculation on my part though.

The PC24 is very different especially from an avionics standpoint. I always enjoy new avionics which is why I was looking forward to it. As I said it's an okay default aircraft. I think the CJ4 and C700 are much better though.
