I love the Longitute! I fly a real challenger 300 and it is similar in peformance etc.... the FTsound pack makes it even better as default sounds are terrible, but the sound pack for the Longitude is very well done!

How to eliminate the traveling cameras from cockpit to cabin, wing views etc? would like to just "pop" to my views

besides just 1-9 ? need many more

the airplane is too filthy I prefer the clean look or private versions of all the jets I fly... otherwise I am impressed! no performance issues like the 310 has... .hmmmm

This could be my most favorite release ever, not kidding. Perfect looking visuals to a tee, nothing out of scale or misplaced. Absolutely stunning to look at and gawk at. Ryan's paints are A+++, I must use FSRealistic's reverse sounds as this one has none by default. the real lear has a loud roar with air and ac vents adjusting to the reverse, I wish a sim could replicate these sounds, but sadly, nobody is able to do a good default reverse roar, that works on engine rpm.... oh well... thank god for FSRealistic otherwise a perfecto addon!!!

spectacular again!!!

I used know an a300 pilot he always said what a dog it was, barely able to get above FL290 heavily loaded for a few hours until lighter! He hated it.

hitting 10,000fpm is easy, and realistic, I hit 10,000fpm in the big challenger 300 I fly for a job, whenver I feel like it, kinda high deck angle 20 degrees so we don't do it often unless empty for fun 

been simming for a week with no issue using FSTL as traffic while disabling asobo built in native traffic ... so I think native live traffic was the issue

ME TOO OMG OMG I WAS PULLING MY HEAR OUT!!! i JUST bought my best pc of my life, ASUS rog strix 4090 laptop beast 64 ram etc etc. Of course bloatware NV Experience installed the newest drivers and one of my first flights with live traffic becasue my other laptops werent stong enough to run live traffic, anyways here I got everything full maxxed and was able to get 50-70FPS at LAX with live traffic (unheard of before ... ) and I was so excited then pow, flights that froze ! In my life since 2020 released I had never had a freeze but than again, I never ever used live traffic! 

Now I reduced to a video driver like 547 I think... from November and I did get another freeze, shut OFF live traffic and let the computer either sit all day or flying on autopilot with NO freezing!!! 

Got to be defalt live traffic!!

Now I tried FSTL and no crash !!! 

I am so glad I am not alone in this I was fearing my new laptop was bad or I dunno... panic was setting in.....

so FSTL works and it is so nice anyway.. the hell with default traffic

me too 100% stuck on that unpacking item that even restarts won't fix, yet others I know restarted the sim and it booted, but not mine, restarts only go back to unpacking 

a reason to be in the beta then, none of this will happen ..hmmm, maybe I'll opt in...

FS Realistic ?

i write about these sims for FLYING magazine now but featuring XP12 with it shimmers and poor AA is gastly sometimes and hard to frame shots that don't look hideous.... ugh, once this is fixed both will be great.. and I do love XP for its feel of  flight and realistic compete jetliners.. etc... i still USE XP11 cuz to me it looks overall superiour clean and smooth like FS2020

I just wrote on this very subject in FLYING.

Replicating a Simulated 'Queen of the Skies' - FLYING Magazine

curious , I deleted the default 747 by laminar, is that required for the sparky 744 to work properly?

engaging autopilot for me always results in an immediate roll suddently over to one side, spin and death... what's wrong with it?? Only plane that does this so it's unusable

hi sorry i am not here much but I flew the real beechjet for years after doing FU3, in 2004 my first jet job was ironically on a beechjet 400a! flew it for years then the falcon 2000 and now a challenger 300

me too I never knew back in 1999 /2000 I would become a real beechjet 400a captain, then later on to fly Falcons and the Bombardier Challenger 300 for a job!

Is this you Peter ?  Peter Pan Unlimited 3 🙂 ????

Welcome !

Every time you return to "authoring activity" as a passionate aviator, both real and virtually, I can't but recall the extraordinary times I had with FU3, the texts you wrote about it, and also, sadly, how it came to an end only too soon, well, by the hand of the MS Empire...

Good to know you're enjoying the latest run of their franchise, "soon" to be replaced by yet a new one.

I like MFS too, and that site whose link you posted above is bookmarked for good!  Thank you!

welcome! Yes It is me, some 23 years after leading the design of FU3... ugh...... appreciate the kind remarks... I am thrilled to be with FLYING.... 

the print magazine is incredibly beautiful now, more like a book.... different content  - I do flightsims now in both publications.....

Hope y'all enjoy this stuff I am doing... open to any suggestions for future material, ideas etc.... mostly trying to educate real pilots like myself of varying experience levels how beneficial this is to career and efficiency.

When I said "old platforms", I was obviously referring to FSX, P3D, from which our 737 was ported, and the 777 will. 

On your question regarding the Fenix flightmodel: no, it wasn't ported from these dirty, obsolete platforms. It was made from scratch. So, if you are referring to Prosim, this is a great advantage, after all using a professional platform to develop an airplane is something worthy of applause.

I absolutely would like PMDG to do the same to take full advantage of the resources available. You're not trying to compare FSX with Prosim and say that both developers brought their aircraft from other platforms, are you? 

The problem is not using another platform, but using outdated platforms, probably out of laziness. That's the difference.

PMDG is superior when it comes to frame rate and performance Fenix is far behind PMDG in that regard with similar level of depth

what is the edit for AA you speak of?
