The video running in the background on the presentation of the Fenix is a bit misleading, one might think those detailed effects are part of the aircraft. Those effects are not available in the Fenix by default. It's part of the Airbus effects addon made by Paralel 42 for which you also need their base addon SimFX. Just putting this out to people who don't have the Fenix A320 and see this.

I have to put the PMDG DC-6 somewhere, at least honorable mention. It is, after all, an airliner and it's very good. One of my favorites. Probably doesn't get the attention it deserves.

My personal list is Fenix a320, inibuilds a300, pmdg 737…..after those 3 it gets tough. But i dont think any other aircraft directly compare to those 3 right now. The 777 may, but I dont have it.

Nice review Shane for me No1 spot goes to PMDG DC-6 as it is an airliner even if its not a jet liner, Fenix is not my favourite plane sadly had too many failures with screens not working and park brakes not releasing for me its off the list. Inibuilds A300-600 has also become a favourite for me since their latest update it is awesome to fly now as well.

Realistically TFDI MD-11 is the only airliner on the list to have been built from scratch for MSFS basically completely fresh, everyone else on the list either ported or used existing assets. Upcoming too are BlueBird Simulations that are also building from scratch so only TFDI and BlueBird Simulations currently/upcoming with completely fresh project packages Aside from that, nice video Aus🫵🏼

@kraevac2 ай бұрын
I own the 739 and I got the 777. Worth the buy imo, completely different experience. The cockpit and flows are much easier than the 73x, the size of the airplane makes it different for flying, taking off, and landing. I'm not going to say that is worth the almost $80. I think $60 would have been better, but I just wanted the aircraft. I'll not likely get any other version of the aircraft, since the new versions will not really bring anything new to the table. The 300ER was the bestselling version of the 777 model line, but PMDG is planning a -200 and -F variant as well, if you wanted to wait.
