Yes ofcourse, that all depends on the devs texture and model artists, the Ifly devs have definetley done a good job. Like I said both 2020 and 24 SDKs have the capacity for high resolution models and textures, its up to the artist to do a good job with it. Personally, I've never been the biggest fan of PMDG cockpit textures, they look very cartoonish, however with the 777 I applied a wear and tear texture mod from flightsim.to which made it much better.

Not quite. 2020 and 2024 can both handle high res textures providing a quality finish. Where 2024 native comes into play is how optimized the textures and models are. For instance in 2024 you have a modular system where you can apply more higher res textures to more models, using the modular system you can then unload that model at certain distances and conditions. If you apply the same amount of high fidelity model and textures to the 2020 model, you'll have terrible performance. 2024 SDK also has the additional benifit of the CFD flight model and enhanced ground handling characerstics / friction model (providing the developer uses these tools). So native skeptics acutally have merit in their decsision.

For me REX Atmos is a must have too, along with DLSS5 I've found the sweet spot for myself. [img] [img] [img]

How about we get cockpit and model updates together instead of lowering the bar. Most devs are moving towards perfecting the aircraft inside and out, and that's the new standard which I'm all for.

I think it will be a great aircraft no doubt. Do i think the cabin is up to 2026 standards, no. Do I get enjoyment out of a good cabin yes, do you no, so my opinion stands and so does yours. So what now.... nothing. We are sharing our opinions. Also, checked the official fs forums, users are reporting poor quality throughout.

You know it does not matter right? It's a flight sim based on a desktop right? We use it for different things and as mentioned multiple times feel immersion in different ways. I'm just saying if PMDG or ini released a cabin with 10 polygon count seats, they would've been crucified. It's 2026 years of development time, just create a masterpiece all around like everyone else.

This is the most silliest comment I see "it's not a cabin simulator". It's a flight simulation and they replicate the aircraft for virtual flight and viewing the best they can (most devs). So I'm assuming you don't use external view because it's not a "photo shoot" or "drone" simulator?. Doors are shut mate no drone view for you from now on. Also inibuilds and Fenix just a shout out to you guys, no need for external models anymore just give us systems and flight deck. Just flight I'm looking at you too.

I don't care for working amenities I just enjoy a good detailed aircraft all around. It's the new standard and shows craftsmanship and dedication of replicating the aircraft as a whole.

Hey millennial here, just because a boomer doesn't want it we don't get it right? You're pretty much saying because you don't need it no one else needs to have it. Pretty much like the housing market right HA!

Look at this bloke. You have been awarded the first official BB minion. Your overloards at BB are proud, dont worry... every dev company has a few of you. They could sell you the fwd and aft of the aircraft as a seperate package and you will buy it. 🤣 Anyway, You telling me no plane in 2020 has a cabin 🤣. 🤡🤡

So what I mean exactly by it being 2026 is not only the art aspect, but we currently have an SDK that allows for objects to not be rendered under certain situations, example, closing the cockpit door. If modelled correctly, using the new LOD and modular attachment system, you should not get the performance hit cabins used to. So performance is no excuse for this dev. Every other dev does exactly what I've just explained. And they also include a non cabin version for the really low end systems.

It's good to look at. Its immersion, pretty much what fenix has done. Whats immersive to me might not be to you. By that logic what do you do in external view other than look at the view for a few minuets and get back in the cockpit... should they just release planes without an external model and cabins from now on?

I don't care who comes at me but it's 2026 and the whole airplane should be detailed. Cockpit, system, flight model and yes CABIN. if they're asking the same price as other devs then they should include what the other devs do too. I feel like everyone's over looking it because it's a 757. If it was PMDG people would be losing it. That cabin looks terrible. The immersion of having a well modelled plane all around is amazing. Fenix walking up the stairs after a walk around? quality all around please, they've had enough time.

The good old days! I remember as a kid doing Sydney to Singapore in the posky 747 SIA. Back then I had the time and calm mind to do that long of a flight. Now its responsibilities, business and life haha! I stick to the 2-3 hour flights now on my odd weekend I dont have anything to do. Was good seeing these shots.

As others have mentioned you just need to go to the Fenix website log in and reactivate the license
