I haven't touched the SWS PC-12 for a while. I thought its handling during takeoff and landing was totally unacceptable despite the developers saying it was realistic. I do like the aircraft overall. I think the sounds and the turboprop simulation are excellent. So I'm wondering if the flight dynamics have been noticeably improved at all.

Agreed. The MAX is absolutely pushing the now 63 year old 737 design too far. I think Boeing should of designed a total new narrow-body in the 90s alongside the 777. As for the 777X, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it never carries a single passenger.

4 years since the -9 rolled out and still nowhere near certification. I've got a feeling Boeing is pushing the 777 design one step too far.

I wonder if Fenix will implement a WX radar soon? PMDG have accepted the limitations of the sim and gone ahead and included it with the 777 so maybe Fenix will do the same.

I hope the fix comes quickly. The autopilot pitch modes need fixing ASAP. Just tried activating IAS hold during climb and instead of maintaining the speed, it aggressively pitched the nose down into a dive.

I have the exact same problem. When entering a lower altitude in the altitude alert window, the aircraft immediately begins a decent despite being in altitude hold. I find that quickly selecting ias mode on then off again allows you to regain control of the autopilot. Anyone have a link to their discord? I can't seem to get access to it.

Anyone else having any problems with the ground handling? Not sure if its something in my setup, but I can hardly get it to make a turn on the ground at all. Just tried to make a 180 on the runway and ended up using slew mode just remain in the airport boundary!

Anyone know where to find your serial key? I'm entering my order number but its not accepting it. I'm trying to activate the product in the sim.

It looks to me that's exactly what we're getting here. Judging by all the previews, it really looks like FSS have gone for a far more complex simulation compared to the local legends series. I've been waiting for a new 727 in Microsoft land to fill the void the old Dreamfleet 727 left. I'm hoping this will be it. Only a few hours left to wait now hopefully.

This guy goes into more detail about how the doors work and the content in the "EFB" . There also seems to be some kind of managed decent system included within the EFB, almost like a VNAV function for those who want to use it. I have to say judging by the previews, this has to be my most anticipated release this year. I've been checking their website frequently since it was announced and I'm super excited to give it a try next week. The inclusion of the virtual crew manager is a standout feature for me. I understand most will probably want to manage the aircraft themselves, but for me I find it more realistic to have that feature turned on because no 727 has ever been flown single pilot. One thing I'm hoping for is the inclusion of some kind of weather radar. Even one of the old storm scope style systems.

I visited this road earlier this year to see if it was really like all the videos. One thing that struck me was how the wing vortices hit the ground after a large aircraft flew over. Its like sudden wall of spinning wind that can hit anywhere. One hit the ground in someone's back garden and all trees and plants were blown everywhere. My heart says I'd definitely like to live there, but my brain says definitely not! 🤣

All sorted now. The new .exe I was sent got everything working. Looking forward to leaning my way around MCE. Thanks for the help and ill report back if I have any further issues.

I've taken the plunge and purchased MCE with the A300. I believe I've gotten everything installed correctly but I've ran into a problem. I load the A300 on the tarmac and attempt to load MCE, but I get a message asking me to restart the flight (not the simulator) and restart MCE. I've tried this multiple times but message keeps popping up. I've tried running the MCE exe as admin but that hasn't worked. I'm not sure what to try next.

Hi, I've noticed that MCE is now available for the Inibuilds A300. I've been holding off buying the A300 because of a lack of virtual crew (I find flying airliners solo a total immersion killer). I'm a long time user of FS2Crew and since they don't support the A300, I thought I'd give MCE a go. But I have a couple of questions. One of the main things for me is that I can use a button to command checklists and flows. I'm wondering how this works with MCE. Does one hear the voice of the captain say the command? For example, "before start checklist please" or does the FO simply execute the command at the touch of the button without hearing the captains voice. I'd also like to ask if the product comes with a manual or document that details the specific flows or actions for each crew member? As someone who is new to the A300, I'd like to know what items the captain is responsible for in the cockpit at each stage of the flight and what things the FO will take care of. Thanks.

The key is to arrive extra early to beat the crowds and get the best spot. Its RIAT this Saturday and ill be in place at my favorite spot at least 3 hours before the flying starts! 🤣
