Where would I start? 😊 It's widely accounted on here, if you search some threads under "Aerosoft ToLiss A340". My main gripe is what I consider low texture quality in a number of areas. I would highly recommend the Ini A340.

In your response to me, you claimed I'd missed "the easter egg" and that the whole purpose of your post was the "celebrity aviators" that you alluded to. Now that some people have started discussing that, you have played down who it is, and are now stating that you'll "stay focussed on showing the actual system first". 😵‍💫 That's a mighty confusing message!

So, you've made reference to your "marketing team" earlier in the thread and other references to "your team". Yet your website doesn't allude to a business on a scale that would have it's own discrete Marketing Team and a decent sized staff count. In fact, I got the feeling that it was just you. This just feels like a pretentious attempt to make out that you head up a large IS business. ....and I just can't see it. He has made reference to us seeing the "WIP footage". Then acknowledged there was no footage. How could you think you've posted footage of your product in a thread, then remember you've posted nothing but text claims? Some will be upset by my cynicism, but I am just not buying anything this guy says. Seems like something in between a fantacist and a scam artist. If hard evidence proves otherwise, my apology will be comprehensive..... but my BS detector is flashing red.

Hmm, normally I'd be motivated to give a new version a go. Each of the updates that came for the Ini A340 really elevated the experience. But I've lost a bit of faith in this AS A340. I do absolutely enjoy the hand flying dynamics. Everything else just feels so disappointing. Maybe a job for the weekend, to try this out! 😊

Looks nice!

A single longer load time, on the first load after the cache delete. That's it. Everything else is a positive. I do it weekly. After a cache clean I always get better visuals, zero stutters and as discussed above, it can help with controls anomolies and the keyboard not working in the sim. PS...I can't see your image, because you've used imgur, not post images.

@Wildblue I was speaking in relation to the other users in the thread who expressed the same sentiment as me. I would have thought that was obvious 🤨 Of course I'm not speaking for everyone. There are those blissfully untarnished by repeated failures to deliver on AI products that are different and not like all the rest and all of the other hyperbole. Based on the OPs other product release, I simply don't believe this will be a game changer as it's being presented by him (and with zero evidence that his claims are anything more than words). Should that evidence arrive, I will take back everything and reflect on my lack of faith 😉

@beechcaptain - Don't be put off. This guy always does this. Posts randomly into discussion threads with no links to what's being discussed. Then makes out he's the only one smart enough to get his tenuous link.

Just a polite reminder that you haven't seen a single image, much less in-game footage. Just text typed into this forum. We all have short memories on how many times we've been stung by promises like this!

You have the wrong attitude for someone trying to sell something soon. There's a dose of arrogance there. I didn't miss your "Easter Egg" - I just wasn't interested in whatever 'celebrity' you're alluding to. Remember what we've all told you here (not that you're hearing the feedback) - we're not interested in promises, marketing or celebrity aviators..... we're only interested in a real product. That said, as the Dragons in Dragon's Den would say - I'm out. People buy people and I don't like your unprofessional, silly defensive reaction to genuine feedback. I feel like I'm dealing with an ego that would put Brian from SI to shame!

What has this got to do with his question on whether, as an Airbus fan, to install MSFS2024 for the Fenix? 🙄

Promises, promises 😊 I'll pop back when there's something to demonstrate, beyond hyper-marketing terms and high tech terminology. I hope you understand that my point is not a general whine / negativity. Anyone can claim they have "made something really different" that doesn't involve the usual weaknesses that we see, in AI-based ATC programs like Say Intentions. The SI guys are hugely into hyper-marketing and have made similar promises (and their AI solution is not limited to LLM either). The reality is often strikingly different to the promises. So personally, I just don't rate a promotional post that says "we're making something really special... but that's all we're going to say about that right now" (Forest Gump ™). Everyone who is doing AI at the moment seems carried away with their own grandure, and are convinced that they've found a way to do something that no-one else has. Where are these jaw-dropping solutions? I just see lots of AI-mediocrity. As I said, I will view with enthusiasm when you have something to show us.

I do think the issue is server related. I've noticed less sharp imagery when I'm flying at the weekend, at peak times. But I count myself lucky because I really don't see too much blurriness. For the record I'm on fast 8GB broadband, but I'm not convinced the user's broadband speed is even that impactful, compared to what is going on with MS's servers. The frustrating thing is that it's so inconsistent across the user base. I really don't get much blurriness but I do see it sporadically at those high peak times. I have seen others who are getting terrible imagery though, quite persistently. It would not surprise me if MS were throttling servers and reducing bandwidth to save a couple of dollars here and there on their server bills 😄

Just to say Bernard, that the restart is essential after deleting the caches as the graphics caches aren't fully cleared until after a restart. This has always worked for me when I suffer the problems you describe, so fingers crossed it'll get you back in the sky!

Great choice! This is one of the finest GA aircraft in MSFS2024. If I may say, the one ingredient that's needed when moving to MSFS2024 is ..... patience 😊 There are posts from people sometimes who get mighty frustrated, quickly, and then throw the baby out with the bath water. I think if you expect it will be tough, it's then possible to celebrate the small victories. My sim journey over the years has been; FS9 > FSX > XP10 > XP11 > MSFS2020 & XP12 > MSFS2024. So I've meandered between both platforms. Moving from XP12 to MSFS2024, I'd say the most challenging areas may be; views/cameras and control assignments. These happen to be two areas that are definitely simpler to set up and manage in XP than they are in MSFS. In MSFS there are internal, external and drone cameras. The first two are intuitive and are based around the aircraft. The drone camera is like a 'free look' camera that you can move around anywhere (great for exploring airports). Good luck!

Hey Glenn, I'd say if you run any airliner in XP12, then running the Fenix in MSFS2024 will be a breeze on your system. I find XP12 comparably much more demanding on my own modest GPU, than MSFS2024. I moved from XP12 to MSFS2024 in January and the visual improvements blew me away. The ToLiss planes are great in XP but I think you will find the Fenix A3XX a big step up in polish and execution. If you haven't used MSFS2020, expect a big change and learning curve in sim set up and configuration, in moving from X-Plane to MSFS2024. If you've used MFS2020, it's mainly the control assignments that have changed in 2024. I'd say go for it. The Fenix is the cream of the crop for Airbus simulations in my opinion.

This happens to me around once per month. It seems to be a corruption in one of the controls profiles. The profile itself isn't corrupted but MSFS seems prevented from loading it correctly. When it happens, I find deleting my caches and restarting my machine resolves the issue. I use this tool :- https://flightsim.to/addon/105190/clearskies (There's no need to delete the scenerycache, so I recommend unselecting that option).

Got it 👍 Vincent's Placerville is my Norcal base in the sim. I probably have more take offs and landings there, than in any other airfield in North America 😎

Just landed in the Tecnam P2008..... Hope they've got a chilled Diet Coke in that vending machine. I'm parched! Gorgeous, immersive location 😎

I don't think it's poop that appears in the toilet. It looks like candy fudge cubes to me.

Could you elaborate on what his user errors were? There's not a lot of value in stating he made a bunch of user errors, but then not pointing out what they were; so that users can isolate what the bug elements are.

😄 Just found that. Quite a poor video to be honest. One of the main features of this aircraft is that they have custom-made the Century 1 Wing Leveller, which has never been built in FS before. He seemed oblivious to this and thought that the AP ON/OFF switch was it! The modes are controlled from the Turn Coordinator. Being a custom function it would have been good to see. The video was really stuttery too for some reason (they're not normally on his channel).

As a GA nut, I was surprised to see this, and that I'd not heard anything about it! It's a full pack, with the Traveller, Cheetah and Tiger and panel options ranging from basic VFR steam gauges, to the (rare) G1000 models, sold from 2006 before Tiger Aircraft went out of business in 2007. (The real Tiger G1000 only came with the original non-WAAS G1000, without the integrated GFC700). Quality looks high. https://www.justflight.com/product/bluesky-hangar-grumman-aa5 This will be a day 1 instant buy for me! It'll be a good replacement for the BR Designs AA5, which has some strange proportions in the cockpit.

Hej, does that livery also have the 'D-EEDL' textured into it? Or are the duplicate regs both coming from MSFS's dynamic registration field? From the pic, it looks like the large text is on the livery, and the small is from MSFS? I haven't seen that artifact when I've flown it. Is it the Bagolu C172M?

I can't see an unpause button on the GTCs. But I am not the OP 👍 I have a key assigned to MSFS's UNPAUSE binding, and that worked for me.
