LOL, that is one of the more irritating things. I'm sometimes an absentee pilot during cruise and it's very irritating to come back and see I missed my ToD point by 50 miles. :lol:

It is very common for pilots to fly both the A319/A320/A321 here in the US, at least. I think some companies have pilots fly both the A330 and A340, as well, though I may be wrong about that. I'm 100% sure about the first statement, though, as they are practically the same aircraft and I have personal experience with it (my father has flown both). In addition, I am 100% sure that the B757 and 767 can be flown simultaneously. My father once flew the 757 and 767 concurrently. One day, he'd have a 757 trip to the Caribbean and a few days later he'd be off to Rio de Janerio on a 767. They share a common type rating. With that being said, I don't understand the logic of choosing. I fly the Airbus X and the PMDG 737 NGX. I also have the Wilco E-jets and fly the E170/190 on occasion. In addition, I'll probably buy the PMDG 777 at some point. The more the merrier and it's always nice to have something different and keep things fresh. I'm mostly a "tubeliner" simmer, so it's nice to have different planes to fly. I think I'm as much into the systems management as the flying (though I hardly ever autoland and prefer to handfly the glideslop as is usually done in real life... I hate when I see Youtube videos with autolands in good conditions :(). Boeing and Airbus do differ some, but I find it easy to go from one to the other. Obviously, the flight model is different as you have FBW on the Airbus and you never disconnect the autothrottle, but both are fun to fly. I would say the Airbus is a little simpler to fly as far as systems go, but I enjoy it still. It's cool that Aerosoft did a pretty good job getting the FBW model right for the A320/321. It's not perfect, but it is definitely a big step up for the Wilco buses. I hear the BBS version is better, but like you I have no interest in delving into unfinished software, so I'm not touching that yet. Like you, I wish there was more products available for Airbus, especially for the widebodies. Wilco does have an A330 and A340 available and I do own them, but it's hard to see me going back to them after having the Airbus X Extended, which is a step up, IMO (not that the Wilco buses were bad or anything).

Thanks!

Alright, sounds good! Thanks!

Thank you!Will it be available for download off the PMDG website?

I just purchased and flew the 737NGX for the first time. It is a great! However, where can tutorial #2 be downloaded? I did tutorial #1 and it was very good, but I'd also like to do tutorial #2 and go more in-depth with it.If I am missing something obvious, I apologize.Thanks, in advance! :)
