Don’t hold your breath for the native 24 version… this delay is apparently just about backend infrastructure and DRM stuff.

Guys, we have to understand one thing: we can complain about this or that bug here or anywhere else all day, every day, but unless there’s a highly upvoted thread about it on their own Forum, they simply won’t pay attention to it. We need to do a better job of organizing around the main issues we want to see fixed or improved.

Ugh that's too bad. It really kills the excitement for doing long hauls if there is a perceived 50/50 chance you won't arrive.

The Tristar and A340 were 3-4 months marketplace exclusive.

The NEOs will be standalone, but owning both the CEO and NEO will also get you a modernised CEO with the NEO’s updated systems and new software standards etc.

I don't think they have dropped development of either their E145 or Challenger 350. I think they were just announced wayyy too early, with much too ambitious timelines. The Avanti EVO and Citation X+ might be a different story, though. It does seem like neither of them will be happening anymore.

The clever people in the FFX Discord have figured out that it’s almost certainly a Hawker 800/850/900.

Pre-release for Streamers is starting next week.

Latest post from their Discord, two days ago: "Thanks to SayIntentions we have SELCAL simulated. This is the last feature before release and as far as we know, it's the first airplane to have it for MSFS. I know a lot of people are eagerly waiting. We will keep you all updated as soon as possible. The majority of the work left is all of the backend items (website store, DRM, customer support, servers)."

Does it perhaps have a special...legacy...?

My pity towards PEsim is somewhat limited. They announced LFPG two years ago at this point, and while I understand that it’s a major undertaking, I still think you can’t reasonably expect exclusivity for that length of time for one of the most important missing airports in Europe. And their reaction/statement regarding Aerosoft giving up on LFPG wasn’t exactly classy either.

Let's not forget one thing: the core issue is that both the piston and turbine engine simulations in the sim are relics from decades ago. Only relatively recently has Working Title started modernizing them, first with improvements to the turbocharger simulation (was that in SU5?), and now in SU6 beta there are fixes to the turbine simulation that, according to some developers, look very promising.

Just keep in mind that this turbo version is turbo-normalized, so it doesn't actually make more power than the N/A one. It just keeps sea-level power (around 29.9 inches) all the way up to its critical altitude, instead of gradually losing it as you climb.

So... is it worth the price tag? Most of your reviews have been quite positive, but after converting from euros, it comes out to about $63 for me. That's more expensive than the Fenix A320 and even some of the PMDG 737/777 variants. A pretty steep ask in my opinion. What do you think?

I'm mainly flying the Fenix, and I'm having the same issues with Continue Pushback, not using SLC. I'll do a flight later and specifically keep an eye on the toolbar status.
