A small mistake with the last update, it’ll be fixed with 1.0.6.

it’s not there because almost no phenom in operation has AT, it was only properly made available by embraer in January (the embraer one not aftermarket options) so the dev couldn’t get data on it. It will be implemented once they gather enough data as more operators start using it.

The fsr500 already had this simulated in msfs2020. The aircraft reads notams from simbrief for the area it will be flying from and to and if the notams specify birds for the area the chances of having a bird strike increase by a lot. If it happens it’s a loud bang with the windscreen becoming destroyed with no visibility. The aircraft also depressurises.

That would only be a fair comparison if the Phenom would have a single pre-release video (the trailer) and nothing more, but that clearly won’t be the case. As Raul has already stated, there will be additional videos showcasing the aircraft and its features throughout the pre-release period. In fact, Raul spent nearly an hour on a livestream less than three days ago demonstrating the Phenom and discussing its systems and features in detail. There was nothing “cinematic” about that, it was simply a developer passionately showcasing his work. You also bring up Black Square as a comparison, yet several of their pre-release videos are cinematic trailers as well. Here is an example of one that I personally enjoyed: https://youtu.be/bY8jZnOi4M0?si=o30CZnQE6iVAs2Ip I don’t understand the need to judge someone so harshly based solely on one pre-release video, especially when more content is still to come. Personally, I’m happy to appreciate what we’ve received as an initial showcase while looking forward to the more in-depth videos that will follow.

Yes systems are modelled. It’ll have failures. And yes circuit breakers will be modelled and functional.

It is now available in the marketplace.

I was a flight attendant on a 737 800 for over a year and the first ding on that aircraft and specific airline was to tell the cabin crew it's safe to release from the jump seats

True, my first landing didn't go that well for that exact reason, as I was oblivious to the fact that this airplane makes is seem like it's higher than it actually is. Meanwhile I've sorted my touchdown noise problem, I've got an expensive headset with its own sound hub which has a surround sound option enabled by a button which I assumed had nothing to do with sound levels, after going through the manuals I've disabled it and the sounds are much clearer now! I do apologise for this post as the problem was on my end.

Ahh motion sickness, seen many people book off sick on their simulator assessment days because of it, for me the initial 30 minutes are always the worst part, as my body seems to be expecting different motions, and sometimes I even position my body in antecipation of a movement that doesn't come as expected. Eventually I adjust myself to it. Hopefully your check ride was completed with no issues! Thanks for the info on the 747 sim, interesting stuff! I was unware that the discrepancies were that accentuated in the aviation industry simulators!

I have nothing to complain about the Dc 6 model, I've never flown a real one, and it seems amazing to me. I was just saying that the life size train simulators in which I do regular checks behave nothing like the real life counterpart, and if it is so hard to simulate a train, I can only imagine how hard it must be to simulate an airplane, which in my opinion PMDG did fantastically well! I'm sorry if my post came the wrong way, I was in no way complaining about the airplane or even talking about it, just sharing my real life experience with expensive full size simulators!

Ah this made laugh. I'm a train driver and believe it or not we do spend a good amount of time inside of full size simulators which mimic the real train cabs, we regularly have to go for checks were we might spend time practicing procedures, doing train handling, emergencies, dealing with faults and failures etc etc... And you would think that a train, being something that goes on rails would be easy to simulate considering the millions it costs for a single one of those simulator units. However I've yet to meet a train driver which will claim that the simulator handles like the real train, I can assure you it doesn't. If it is so hard to simulate a train and its behaviour, I can only imagine how hard it must be to simulate an airplane which will run on my personal computer and make it feel similar to the real thing.

Thanks! Will give it a try!

I don't know if this is a problem on my end, or if someone else has asked the question already, and I apologise in advance if that's the case. The problem is that the touchdown effects, be it the sounds or any visual clues based on vibrations etc etc are too subtle, to the point that in one of my landings I really struggled to know if I was on the ground or still "flaring". Is there something I could do to make the touchdown more noticeable?

Enjoying flight simulation in every platform, hoping that all developers publish products for every platform in the market so that our hobby keeps growing. That's what I want. If I'm not mistaken it was one of your posts in which you or someone with the same username was quite vocal about the dc-6 flaws that led me to that particular stream. I personally didn't find many flaws in the airplane despite some minor stuff that requires work, and I've only stated my opinion about that stream, which seemed unnecessarily aggressive towards minor or non existent flaws. In the end all I want is that PMDG keeps developing airplanes for xplane, and FSX, and P3D, as naturally we'll all benefit from it one way or another.

I did see that stream, at least the part where he went on and on about the engines and the cowl flaps, if it was the same stream the guy is allegedly an airplane engineer (which is per se a very broad statement, or title) however his explanations seemed to be based on futile expectations fiting the purpose of a basic and general understanding of how a radial works, and indirectly assuming (at least from my point of view) that all the engines are the same. Shame that some people take opinions for facts, especially if It meets the momentum some communities seem to gain related to outsiders, bordering on tribalism...
