Heck yeah, what a nice surprise!

I’m still amazed that this is actually going to be freeware. How lucky are we as a flightsim community to have such a dedicated and talented group of creators giving us this for free. I have no words. Just amazing.

I’m surprised you’re getting that low of FPS. I have the 14700k and 4090, so fairly similar specs. At NYC airports I usually go down to 20NM injection range and average around 26 FPS(FG 52) and at ORD do the same and still average around 25 FPS(50FG). This is with the PMDG 737 or the FBW320. I use only AIG models, I noticed that they’re less FPS intensive than FSTL and they match all the traffic almost perfectly. Just my 2 cents.

PSXT is for me one of those programs that once you start using it, it’d feel completely wrong to not use it. It is one of the most immersive addons for me. Seeing AI follow real life, real time, ATC procedures brings my flight simming experience to another level. And pairing it with live ATC is just the icing on the cake for me.

Delete the R-axis Z.

It's because it thinks you have the TCA airbus addon(an addition to the throttle pack) which has the spoiler and flaps axis. I used to have the same issue until I read online about the solution. Glad you got it resolved on your own.

I noticed this as well and to mitigate it, I’ve been using AIG pretty much exclusively now. I added the MD-11 from FSLTL separately but everything else is AIG. Also, probably anecdotal, but AIG models are not as heavy on my system as the FSLTL ones.

@virtuali What a great update, thank you for constantly evolving this hobby and providing us with free updates! I feel bad that I have all your sceneries already, as I would like to keep supporting you guys by buying more products. Hopefully you'll have more airports coming out in the near future. Also the push and pull update to GSX really brought the immersion level up several notches. The way my simulator runs now with MSFS and all the various addons, makes it the most enjoyable experience I've had in my 20 years of simming.

iPads are simple and intuitive enough, but obviously it all depends on your budget. Here in the US you can get the latest generation iPad for $329 right now at BestBuy, but if you catch a sale it can be as cheap as $299. I use Navigraph and find it very useful. Can’t really comment on Foreflight since I haven’t used it in 10+ years during my flight training years.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really have any major issues with it. The one thing that bothers me with it is that the TCAS is off-scale. If the ND is set at 20 for instance, the traffic range is set at 40(when it should be 20 just like the ND scale), meaning what looks like 5 miles away on the ND is actually 10 miles away. Personally I haven’t experienced the navigational issues that other people have reported, but then again I’ve been keeping each flight pretty basic.

Wow very nice, level of detail seems incredible!

If by landing rate you mean smooth landing, I would respectfully disagree. I think a majority of, if not most, pilots aim to have as smooth of a touchdown as possible. But yes, with a contaminated runway or windy conditions, the priority would obviously be a firm, positive control landing in the touchdown zone.

Heck yeah!

Let me preface this by saying it’s great when you as a customer have different options of the same aircraft(I’m assuming this will be the case if FSLABS release their A320 series) in front of you based on your pocket size and simulator needs and of course personal preference. The FSLabs A3XX series was by far my favorite aircraft addon in P3D, and despite the controversy they were involved in, just purely from a simulator standpoint it really set the bar of how immersive a desktop simulation can be. Aside from the system technicalities and depth, the fact that the GSX integration and ATSU operations were so realistic, and made you feel like you were part of an airline operation rather than just operating the airplane by itself in a sterile environment, really placed it above a lot of other addons in the community. The sound environment was also on a different level. The FENIX is a great value product and their support seems to be pretty good with a lot of customer interaction. We need more of that in the community. Their aircraft model is also very beautifully done, and it seems like a lot of hard work and dedication went into even the tiniest of details. The fact that their product is priced at a level that makes it accessible to a lot of people is also a great positive. Having said that, and please correct me if I’m wrong, it seems like FSLabs write their own code from the bottom up, and doesn’t necessarily rely on another software/platform to make their product work. I don’t know much about Prosim, but from my limited knowledge gathered here and on discord, a lot of the code isn’t written by FENIX themselves and therefore exposes them to the “flaws” of Prosim, which might be more difficult to correct at that point. This also leads me to the question of future products, if they were to venture into developing future aircraft that don’t necessarily have the Prosim framework available. But I’m assuming with all the money they’ve made from the sales, they probably have a good team of developers. I’m very excited about the future of flightsimming, and hoping we will see a lot of new exciting products in the near future.
