We're talking two different things here, I believe. Their take, is that given you have a replica of the control column or similar, the response will be accurate. If you don't, which apply to most, then they'll provide you with a sensitivity slider (what can it do that the sims slider can't is beyond me). The FDE issue, however, goes way beyond the twitchiness. The plane is simply grossly overpowered! the unreliable airspeed curves are way off. Try taking it to concord flight levels and not only it will get there but it will do so with a vertical speed exceeding that of the Concorde....This is a fundamental flaw in the FDE that no sensitivity slider will solve nor mask.

Why should you need their sensitivity slider when the sim already provides you with one? Actual figures as a baseline to work with will be of greater value IMO as the post above had just mentioned.

There's a lot of talk concerning the sensitivities, an issue with an easy fix, be it with a compromise at the extremes - a spot one rarely reaches under standard circumstances. The bigger snag, as someone mentioned above, is the pitch/power curves (and hence climb rates) that are clearly off the ballpark. This will require not only flight model adjustments but also a new set of FMS calculations regarding the vertical profile, fuel and more. A much trickier feat! Fenix (to their credit, is spite of some youtubers and the forum cheerleaders telling us everything is dandy) have been busy with this very issue for years now. Wonder how long it will take BB to get there.

You don't need those reddit videos. Its unreliable airspeed figures are way off the FCOM mark and so are the climb rates. Other parameters are harder to judge but its obviously grossly overpowered. At this point if they can bring it to ballpark figures I'd be happy cause it seems to have the potential. Question is, how long this may take.

Actually I see the potential there. I see where they are aiming and like what it eventually would/could become. I don't care much about textures and fail to see any significant differences between the likes of fenix pmdg fslabs or the aerosoft a340. The 757 flight deck looks just fine to me. I would also gladly sacrifice the cabin altogether for the sake of performance - even a minor one. I understand that others might have a different set of priorities. I'm also confident they can clean up major bugs that slipped through the initial release. My major concern are the flight dynamics that are quite questionable at their current state, to put it mildly. It took fenix ( the consensual gold standatd - justifiably or not) eons to bring their dynamics from disastrous in V1 to more acceptable in V3. Wonder how long it would take BB to do the same,,,,

Not necessarily. Some of them are there to monetize their channel rather than getting a freebee. Be overly critical, and you might see your audience go smaller. This is not to say that there are no decent guys out there! As a rule of thumb though, the more they take the "entertainer" style the bigger is that grain of salt to be taken with their reviews..,,but I digress.

Different what?? engine performance that are 150 - 300 % off the stated values? The " pilot" title doesn't automatically mean that the review isn't skewed or one sided. Just like the "tested by real world pilots" endorsement on a title should always arouse suspicions... Top notch addons usually don't require those.

No, its not! Problem is that some consider them like it was the gospel and come parroting these nonsense all across the board. There are other streamers though. that while refraining from being overly critical will never deem something is "great" while the truth suggests otherwise.

As a matter of fact, its MORE than twice at higher altitudes. Either way its grossly overpowered!

Seriously? Solid??! It climbs at twice the rate the FCOM suggests! Gotta love those ra ra ra “influencers” …

While you're not wrong with most statements , it does not go in contradiction with the fact that it would have been nice if those features that supposedly set this one apart from your run of the mill addons were given more emphasis. I wouldn't even consider that criticism, its just calling out the facts as they are.

Just to put things in perspective, Open sky was all about external models and dynamics (to some extent). It was brought to fame mostly for its merger with Wilcos 767 PIC which was one of the first high fidelity payware addons in the fs2k era. POSKY never had anything to do with systems simulation per se.

This will probably go to Fred berfuls "patch" thread (for the few of us that had been here long enoug)

will that not silence all messages, both text and voice?

I went through all the options and unless I missed something (which I don't rule out) , I failed to see anything related to those popups. Care to give me a hint?
