Yes I’m also a bit miffed that I can’t download the installer from JF. For me that would have made sense as it would have spread the server load.

Britannia, Airtours (my favourite livery), Flying Colours, Air 2000, Monarch. I simply can not wait for these liveries to appear and fly the heck out of them. Every year off on holiday on a 757. Those 90’s charter liveries were the absolute best.

First flight will be Glasgow to Zante and back. Picked up the inibuilds version and have been saving it for the 757. Thomson livery Then the next flight is Manchester to Skiathos and back. Thomas Cook livery.

Sim rate bandit is the one I’ve used.

I have time acceleration bound to insert to speed up and delete to speed down and I use a little app from flight sim.to which lets me know what the acceleration is set too. PMDG and inibuilds you can manage it through the efb

So I depart at the correct time using the 24 hour historic weather, which also speeds up with the time compression. So when I fly the time is in the past. Does that make more sense?

I take off and generally hand fly to 10000ft then somewhere between 10000/20000ft I use 2x till cruise then 4x until 20nm before TOD. Then I go back to 1x for the rest of the flight. I only fly with the 24 hours historic weather.

I'm a bit disappointed. Performance was poor especially on takeoff. And my flaps broke en route for no apparent reason.

If i have my FMS on the route page this happens, however if I select POS page the whole performance is much much smoother. Very strange indeed!

I find the A343 a real blast. 4 hairdryers you just can’t beat it. I love doing retro flights in it.

I’m sure I’ve read a couple of lead developers saying that these days it isn’t good enough just to have good systems it needs to be the full package. For me certainly the wings need a bit of work regarding wing flex behaviour and the leading edge textures are horrible. Nothing like Airbus leading edge slats.

It looks very good and the modelling and textures look good except the leading edge slats look very odd!

Chris Markis has confirmed both BW and SSW for the BBJ. https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/main-forum/general-discussion-news-and-announcements/376086-737-for-msfs2024-first-video-s-now-available/page6#post377320 post 171

I personally prefer the PMDG 737 over the iFly. When the PMDG MAX comes out will be migrating over to that. Likewise I and just sitting tight until the Fenix A320 NEO comes out. To me it makes sense to keep a whole aircraft series with the same developer.

To be honest it already is in my opinion.
