I'm still waiting for a study level long haul airliner to start actually enjoying FS2020. Very disappointed by PMDG to not be able to deliver 777.

why would anyone waste paper to print these manuals ? use a tablet

Won't buy addons for FS2024 either, I will wait for FS2028

I stopped flight simming because of lack of historical weather in MSFS. This feature was the one that provided me the most joy previously in P3D with ActiveSky Being able to fly any route at any time, being able to accelerate the simulator and the weather would follow up. Now I'm restricted to fly only with the real time, and without sim acceleration. Otherwise weather won't match time of the day. If I accelerate a long flight I may end up with daytime weather during night and vice versa. Imagine you arrive at a location during the middle of the night with typical summer daytime temperatures such as 90 °F and with lots of wind while it should be calm. It's unacceptable.

Since we are going to pay in average $100 dollars every 4 years $100 / (4 * 12) = $2 / month Would you prefer to pay $2 / month subscription ? I would because I could stop paying when I take a break for a couple of months. (which is currently the case for me since several months)

when you simrate the weather doesn't follow .. so you end up with incoherent weather with the time of the day. (it could be night with daytime weather if it's still daytime in real life)

very disappointed at PMDG I was expecting the 777 last autumn and they didn't even finish the EFB for the 737. what is going on ?

Aamir became a millionaire after the release. He probably took some vacation. I would do the same. This is the problem with successful projects, when you make so much money you have no reason to work anymore.

When I first saw the opening sequence I was worried I was on the wrong movie and that they were screening the first Top Gun, I had to check my ticket. (it was during the afternoon with very few people so it didn't seem impossible)

I suspect Fenix waited for PMDG release so that they can put a shadow on their release. Nobody talks about PMDG anymore. Good move.

So what do we do if we don't have an integrated graphics card ? (AMD) No optimization possible ?

My impression is that this product has been over hyped and I regret buying it impulsively as the performance is disappointing. The only thing impressive in this product is the core simulation of the plane, which is just Prosim running on the background. What they did on top of that (sounds, graphics, EFB etc.) is not that impressive. So I would rate a 5/5 to the Prosim product and 2.5/5 for Fenix.

Fenix really cheated their way into the flight sim scene using Prosim. Very smart move but unfair to the other developers ... too bad no one ever had that idea before, I guess people never even bothered to take the initiative thinking a company like Prosim would never accept such a deal. This one move is single reason they have been able to achieve what they've done. They started with a simulator already made and already superior to PMDG, so they had all their time to focus on visuals and make everything perfect as possible.

This will be entirely dependent of Prosim and the license they signed with them. It's hard to believe they would be allowed to do whatever they want with the codebase.

Fenix simulation won't release any other product than A320, because their product is based on Prosim. Prosim only has one A320 simulator. So far there is no proof Fenix is able to develop a plane like this themselves, even by using an already made A320 simulator they are taking too much time for release. Could you imagine how much time would they have needed if they developed from scratch ?
