I think people are being a little harsh here. Last review I looked at was XP72 i think he's called. This is expressly noted as non study level. However, it has a decent passenger cabin (absent mid and back galley and absent washrooms) and the cockpit is better than what I've seen in the Latin VFR (at least pre-v2 of their neo). Textures are average i.e, won't drain your frames. It has a very nice EFB with simbrief integration, performance data etc. all transferable to the FMS. All the buttons and switches you would usually use are good to go. XP seemed to like the handling of it while hand flying. Might pick this up. I've just loaded up Latinvfr 330-900 neo v. 2. Cabin is better though you can tell they are sacrificing higher resolution for fps. Pretty even on the cockpit, I think the EFB is better on the Aerosoft. These two planes are very similar. Some of the paint jobs on the Latin are problematic such as on one of the Air Canada liveries at the tail end it notes A330-300! When you look at night externally you can see the seams in the plane at the front. Plus there are peculiar alarm sounds which go off eg a no smoking flashing light. Needs polish.

Also transfered over to Inibuilds manager without a problem.

Ok I've straightened it up. Nothing to do with whether I want to stream it or not. It's my choice. I just disabled the 2020 and reinstalled the one that indicated 0.0.0 and now it shows 1.0.6 with all my liveries.

What is going on here? I had a notice for update to 1.0.5. I download and install on marketplace. After install it it still shows 'update' even though it also shows 1.0.5. So I did it again. Same thing. Instead this time I exited msfs. Loaded back up only to see that all my liveries are gone AND it now states MSFS2020 'unverified' but shows 1.0.5. LOL! Then it shows as 'streamed' even though I had downloaded the plane. Then it shows Synaptic A220 on another section as Disabled 0.0.0. Is this some kind of a joke. Very poor management.

I flew this plane without problems until I updated last night windows. I shut the computer down. Then this morning I tried three x's to arrange flights with the A220-300 then Fenix's A320. I had crashes to the desktop everytime. This may be related to the windows update.

Numerous flights with this plane now and the more I fly it the better I like it. Love the FMS, the use and placement of screens, checklist implementation . What's remarkable about this narrowbody is it will do transatlantic flights like between CYHZ and EGAA. As noted above I'm sure there are some issues to be fixed but frankly I've flown several ILS flights without any problems. Calculates VPATH beautifully. This really has become my go-to plane.

Honestly I've never encountered such a freeze up on PMDG 2024 version and i have all their 777's and 737s 7-9.

I had a flight from LIRF to OTHH air time is 5:38 with enroute burn only 11,355 kg so very fuel efficient plane. Problem was about 2.5 hours into the flight it froze. Had to call up taskmanager and end task for msfs. Too bad. Obviously still bugs but this one I can't explain.

Something that needs to be looked at: if you have your APU on and shut off the Ground Power at source (rather than on the plane) you will get an FMS fail and it will go blank with the fail. I just recycled, turned the GPU on at source then shut it off on the plane and the FMS came back with the full flightplan and data. I have had perfect ILS landings with this plane. One thing I noticed - I manually tuned the ILS but the question is: would there be an autofill at some point because it doesn't do so when you program the arrival on the FMS? Also, the behaviour on landing is odd as the plane swivels or rocks in a rather odd fashion after touchdown. Also there are stuttering issues with this plane.

Well I have had a number of flights with this plane and full props to it. It is fun to program and fly. In fact I love the FMS. Very granular. The checklist is great. Anyone having an issue with the autobrake switch? Mines locked into OFF. Maybe there's something I'm missing. Also on the EFB I have not been able to get it set for a landing. I always get red notations warning above runway length, ldg requirements not fulfilled, non-authorized landing - doesn't matter how long the runway length is. I manually put the vspeeds in the FMS using simbrief performance page. Looking forward to updates on this plane as it is definitely a great addition.

Some further issues. Had it set in settings to pause at TOD. It didn't. Looks like it miscalculated and I had to quit the flight. Could have hand flown it in but if it missed at a key point was not satisfactory. This reminds me of the CRJ issues. Definitely a work in progress. At least it didn't CTD and freeze like it did 4x's before.

Well fifth time is a charm. Finally got it up and flying. Regarding crashes it's not an answer to these well it doesn't happen to me therefore it doesn't exist. I have a significant number of planes, Fenix, PMDG, Inibuilds etc. etc. For example, the only problem I ever had on Inibuilds 350 is WASM crashes. Rare to ever get a crash on Fenix or PMDG. I've watched several videos on quick starts so once it was programmed and up and flying nothing yet. However, I am having flashing screens which are persisting. Also, what's with the numerous discontinuities? It seems to repeat certain waypoints and you have to delete them?

Tried to fly three times and freeze up first time then crash the second. The third had everything programmed got one engine going and it crashed to desktop. Had to call up task manager twice. Gonna wait for updates as currently unflyable.

This is a beautiful airport inside and out. Their other detailed EGLL there is something neat. On one of the terminals using GSX you will see the passengers going through the jetway - the one that has nice pictures as they pass into the glass sided jetway. But what's really neat is that when you enter the terminal the passengers are actually coming down the escalator from one of the areas and entering the gate entrance through the jetway to the plane. Easter egg!

The plane is nice when working. Latest update I had a WASM crash. I deleted the files in the WASM folder to rebuild. Then all seemed good programming the flight until I got it up in the air then the AP would not engage. Not matter what I tried. Shelving it again.
