I was around back then, so don’t be so arrogant. And I still don’t understand that take at all. They were good at best. Not everyone is an MSFS newbie. Some of us started with FS2002 and are now flying the real thing, in addition to flying MSFS. That’s why I’m allowed to be critical.

And this is an indicator for quality? Wild take to be honest.

I thought he was the guy behind Posky ?

I will buy it and am willing to see if they’re really as good as they’ve been promising all this time. I doubt it, to be honest, but we’ll see. I just find it cringe-worthy to love Bluebird’s decision, which is clearly based on the fact that they’re still developing for 2020, which was a bad decision in 2026.

When it comes, then yes, maybe. But for now, it’s $80 for a single plane. At the moment, there are still a lot of promises and nothing to prove them. And btw. do you own at least one of them ?

Funny that PMDG and FSLabs got so much (well-deserved) hate for their cabins, but everyone’s darling, Bluebird, can do whatever they want, and the community loves it. For 80 dollars for a single plane, there should definitely be a good cabin in 2026. It’s part of the sim and not a gimmick.

Not important, but they got an email where INI marked that they had to switch to the beta channel in the INI Manager, which they didn’t do. So they got the WASM crashes …

Nice, so two pages of WASM discussion because two streamers wanted to make fast money and streamed an old version that wasn’t meant to be streamed, which caused WASM-crashes, something that was fixed with the current build. Amazing.

It’s released now and available on the marketplace.

Normally, they announce the airports when they are nearly done, not that far in advance, usually one or two months at most. So I guess it will be a fall release.

What do you guys think of the sounds? My opinion is really mixed. I think they're typical Echo19 sounds, like on the A350 and Tristar, poor mixing, inaccurate sounds, and so on.

Interesting, because the rate of climb of iFly is still incorrect, she climbs like a NG.

As someone who has flown the A319, A320, and A321 for years and is now flying the 777, I can confidently say that the PMDG aircraft are more accurate in every single aspect. What Real Life experience do you have that led you to a different conclusion?

That's not the reason, but it's okay. The reason is the Fenix cult, the poor modelling (which is true, unfortunately), and the fact that it's just another Airbus when everyone already had one. It has nothing to do with which of them is the better add-on. And "streamers" aren't a good source. They usually just follow what the masses do; and the mass are like kids who love good-looking toys like the Fenix. That's why you get people claiming that Fenix is the top-of-the-line developer and has surpassed PMDG by a wide margin. If you say something like that, you've lost all credibility and are obviously completely clueless.

True, but it's still the better Airbus simulation. Maybe Fenix can surpass it one day, hopefully, but at the moment, FSLabs is still a fair bit more complete.
