I think this is a good example:

The aviation world is really grimy/dusty... It's a miracle to find a spotless Airbus cockpit these days, including some of the new NEOs For the exterior though, I think inibuilds' solution (adjusting slider) is great

Sorry to hear you rate the visuals at such a low level. I thin kthere might be something at play here, considering you seem to see PMDG's artwork to be superior (which to me is their weakness, aside from making great products otherwise). Here is what the MD-11 look like on my sim, does it look like this on yours? The cockpit is full of details IMO https://ibb.co/jPyK4KmY https://ibb.co/9f3SdHT https://ibb.co/B5wY2zZx https://ibb.co/CGbTpQH (make sure to click on load full resolution to see it in 4K, it might take a minute)

I second that, let's not reduce Atmos to what the AB presets look like (and they do look very nice), there are alternatives that are different. I can recommend Lupo as well (who IMO made the best Atmos presets for 2020)

The flight plan fuel includes contingency fuel (CONT line, just below the TRIP fuel), meant to cover unforeseen factors. You are legally allowed to use it after commencement of a flight (pushback/ENG start). In Europe it is either 5% of the planned TRIP fuel or 5 minutes of flight at 1500 ft over the destination in ISA conditions (whichever is greater, with a minimum value of about 200 Kg in any case for an A320). If you only get minimal delays (longer taxi, slightly longer vectors, etc) you should be fine with this CONT fuel and still land with your ALTN (Alternate fuel) + FINRES (Final Reserve Fuel) intact. Of course as soon as you foresee a potential problem while planning your flight (probable weather avoidance, traffic delay, weather delay, wrong runway planned in regards to changing weather, unrealistic FL, etc) then you should take extra fuel to cover that. But on a CAVOK day flying to an uncrowded airport with the OFP being correctly planned, I often load OFP fuel (rounded up to the nearest hundred Kg) IRL

I recently discovered the new Lupo presets and they are excellent as well (depending as usual on your weather conditions, I find some presets work better with clear skies and others with cloudy conditions)

LFPO is very good, similar standards as the rest of the lineup really.

The SWS PC-12 is really cheap (about 14$ / 11 eur), I don't remember seeing it that low before: https://orbxdirect.com/product/simworks-pc-12-msfs

Do you mean Justsim EDDL by any chance? Or is there another version of EDDL I'm not aware of?

Amazing!

Ultimately all these high end addons have strengths and shortcomings. I've read many times one of the strong suits of the FSL is system depth, and I remember enjoying their 320 a lot in P3D. Plus the MEL system looks super neat indeed. I've flown the A320 family IRL for more than 10 years and there's almost no day dispatching without a small MEL item... But OTOH what I saw of a recent A330 driver video did not inspire confidence: https://youtu.be/rpqNS3UBhxs?si=UKB0fcpTrcH0hjTh&t=4573 A GEN FAULT ECAM should not arrive after an ENG FAIL, and it's not even such an "exotic" ECAM

Congrats on JF for updating and following up on this great aircraft! One question though, does anybody notice a slightly wrong stall behaviour? I've watched a video showing the JF PA28 droping a wing quite significantly when stalling, whereas IRL it's supposed to drop "flat" (although I've done my training on a different aircraft, it is my understandoing that the '28 is supposed to be a hard to spin in this scenario): https://youtu.be/5sTT_sdUyI8?si=sL7dY_qChP8eqIbA&t=1363 IRL videos show a fairly flat nose drop: @Martyn JF Could you have a look into this please? 🙂

Congrats for the release of this update, but I would have a quick question about the Warrior @Martyn JF In the changelog featured here ( https://community.justflight.com/topic/2476/update-change-logs-v0-4-0a-released-edited-09-05-25 ), there is no mention of CFD in the latest patch. But in the one here ( https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/articles/17000118189-pa-28-161-warrior-ii-msfs-changelog ) there is. Which is correct? Does the Warrior benefit from the exact same enhancements as the Arrows?

You seem to really insist on the devs not being aware of the product state when they publish it... Most people here have on opinion on this DC9 based on Sky Sim's previous release: their MD11 is nowhere near being "study level" Yes we are all hoping for a solid DC9 but this won't be it sadly, let's be realistic

Looking forward to the 777F NBy the way, has there been any word about a potential 777-300ERSF (like N779CK) ?

Thanks for the update Chris, much appreciated!

Yes, there's no comparison

Fully agree, and I had the same initial impression as you. The material used in this spot in the real aircraft is not the most tasteful let's say... Here's another flightdeck screenshot with a different lighting for those interested: https://ibb.co/zmp1Q0C

Youtube has a lot of compression going on. I think the cockpit is well detailed personally, full of character. Here's a screenshot taken at 4K resolution (click on the following link for the full screen version): https://ibb.co/rcs6Cjc
