[@hitthatrwnoflare9645]

i mean, the fbw a32nx is infinitely valuable for its money since its free

[@owenklein1917]

I think the Aerosoft crj is the most underrated plane. Since it was the first plane released, the plane seems to be sort of forgotten but even though they advertise it as, “basic point to point” operations, the plane has a very in depth system simulation. Every button works besides a circuit breakers, some random knobs on the side and few knobs on the pedestal. It’s my favorite plane to hand fly and it I use it a lot out while flying into my hometown as we just get crj’s here. When I was on Xbox, the crj was the aircraft I wanted the most but Aerosoft have seemed to give up on it but when I got a pc, it was the first plane I bought.

[@FlyBySimulations]

That’s honestly very fair :)

[@rekamciu9895]

Hey, don't forget the Leonardo Maddog, maybe the texturing and sounds are not very good (which can be corrected by some mods), but the flight model and systems depth are awesome. I mean, even circuit breakers work ! Awesome video, greetings from Monaco.

[@FlyBySimulations]

Of course not mate, it’s a fantastic aircraft! Will definitely include in part 2 of the series :)

[@denisciobotar4480]

"We at FlyBy Simulations" Who's we?! It''s only you hahaha

[@FlyBySimulations]

A little unfounded there mate, there’s friends, Discord moderators and more all working in the backend to help realize these videos. I like not to take all the credit for these videos, as we emphasize a team-based approach here.

[@GamingZone-ni6rs]

i think the Just Flight - BAe 146 would be a good addition for part 2

[@FlyBySimulations]

100%

[@jobaeton]

Bought the FSS e190. Doesn't start up when spawning in second time after download. Buy it when it's fully released

[@mixxy3807]

In part 2, you should include the Aerosoft CRJ family and the upcoming 757 from Bluebird/JustFlight. Also maybe the Bae 146

[@brunogt1982]

Top quality content keep it coming brother 👏🏼

[@FlyBySimulations]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it :)

[@Pilot-2020]

Next you should do the FBW A380X, Bluebird Simulations 757/767, and PMDG's upcoming 777

[@mughug9616]

On my system (Ryzen 5800X, RX 6700 XT, 32Gb RAM, NVMe and 1440p) I find the Leonardo Maddog MD-80, PMDG 737-600/900 and FlightSim Studios E190/195 to be so well optimized as to performance when compared to the Fenix A320 and iniBuilds A300-600. The FlightSim Studios E190/195 has it's moments but normally performance is fine and another lovely one. The Fenix places the heaviest demands on my system so it is included to see the inside of my hanger too often. While it is excellent, please do you research before buying it. I love the PMDG 737 and the Douglas DC-6 which I feel I can call them solid and quality mature airliners for MSFS. The sleeper hit for me is the Leonardo Maddog MD-80. I use to look at it on SimMarket for many years but steered clear of it. I was so wrong to do that. While it may not be the latest and the graphics, etc. are a little older, it has developed a special place in my heart because it is quality, system-deep, challenging and fun to fly. I even have the similar Rotate ND-80/88 on X-Plane 12. Both excellent products. So please check out those two MD-80s and watch a few reviews. :)

[@GG_Booboo]

I’m rooting for Headwind! Hoping PMDG bring their B777-300ER to MSFS! I bought the B737-900 coz it’s cheaper and can’t complain

[@finnleithomczyk5292]

the value of the fenix is absolutely insane. i don’t buy many addon aircraft but this one was definitely worth my money.

[@tibia2]

the only thing about fenix is that they devs aren’t fast enough , and the physics from the aircrsft sre not good to , for the physique fbw have better one xd

[@finnleithomczyk5292]

@@tibia2 i disagree, althogh i dont have experience flying a320s in real life i feel the physics of the fenix are much more accurate. slow developers also doesnt bother me as long as the quality remains high.

[@maiz1604]

@@maiz1604 Bad FPS on shit computers lmao. I have no performance loss

[@Vaporisers]

My favorite in 2023 was the LVFR A330-900, I spent 310 hours in it. Around 100k KM I think, maybe more. So many long haul flights for the Virtual Airline I’m apart off. Btw, if you’d like to join it just comment, we have like 50 folks in it, it’s so organized and gets updated so much. The main page has like 1k people and they’re is constant group flights daily. Amazing Admin team, we use Google sheets for our logs, and it automatically adds your total hours, NMs, KMs, all that. And it has a leaderboard for total distance and hours

[@fluffy_Lunik]

I thing, I have 6things that I wanna buy it in the future: 1.Incheon Airport. 2.Anchorage airport. 3.Airbus a330-300. 4.Douglas MD-11. 5.CSX. 6.msfs realistic. Thats all!!!!!!😁❤❤❤❤

[@zachpackage]

Does anybody know what i might be doing wrong on pmdg 737-700 on xbox?As soon as you adjust the throttle you will lose control of your rudder, flaps, and landing gear. It’s as if everything locks up on take off:

[@FlyBySimulations]

Hmm, that’s a little confusing mate. Maybe go check out your assistance options and see if there’s anything there that might be impeding with PMDG’s default avionics or controls? Hope you enjoyed the video :)

[@zachpackage]

@@FlyBySimulations sure did brother. Keep up the content. Really looking forward to the 757 sim!

[@Sukkulents_]

it’s wild that at 4 years into the lifespan of this sim, a top5 airliners video is 40% aircraft that aren’t even out yet

[@marchatzimanolis9309]

It hasn’t even been out 3 years yet, August 18 will be its 3 year anniversary

[@FlyBySimulations]

My apologies regarding that. It was a scripting error, as I believe I was initially attempting to comment on the initial announcement of the sim back in 2019 instead of that actual launch date.

[@777FreakyD]

The sim was releases AUG 2020, that is less then 3 years ago (as of the publishing of this video JULY 31 2023), not 4.

[@FlyBySimulations]

My apologies regarding that. It was a scripting error, as I believe I was initially attempting to comment on the initial announcement of the sim back in 2019 instead of that actual launch date.

[@tf51d]

I think it's inappropriate to include the Aerosoft A330 in list until it's released and we see if it lives up to it's hype ! The more I read about it I have my doubts about it at least day one! Like some landing modes won't work on release According to a fselite reviewer at fsexpo He says it won't have failures (you already noted) or a 3D Passenger Cabin. At a price close to PMDG, If true, it seems it falls far short then in a Top 5 List!! Essentially you're flying a Cockpit, Something that I would expect in FS2004 or FSX. The standards that the current SIM command is far beyond that, especially high priced payware!

[@Yamal6261]

Nearly 4 years? It hasn't even been 3 years yet!

[@koosvandam8054]

Nice, but were is the excellent JustFly Bae 146! One of the best in MSFS on study level.

[@FlyBySimulations]

Will definitely include it part 2 :)

[@mughug9616]

2024 and the Fenix A320 cost me $68 as against the quoted $55, which is a dramatic increase compared to the pricing of say PMDG.

[@red2977]

What happens when MSFS2024 comes out do you have to rebuy the addon planes or they will work on the new platform?

[@FlyBySimulations]

Nope most add-on developers have confirmed support for MSFS 2024 already :) Please consider subscribing for more :)

It's here and it's hot garbage 🙃

[@jay-rus4437]

@@TuanAnhNguyen-qp6uc …yes it is. So disappointing

[@oapoiss]

Awesome video as always but it the next episode you should add the Synaptic Simulations Airbus a220. Sadly it looks like it is not going to be released any time soon however the plane is needed in MSFS for many people due to airlines like airBaltic not having a plane and the plane will also bring variety to more airlines like Swiss and Air Canada. Congratulations on 22,000 Subscribers!

[@FlyBySimulations]

Thanks mate :) Isn’t the Synaptic Simulations A220 gonna be freeware? Also I think I’ve already mentioned it in another video which is why I probably didn’t mention it here.

[@oapoiss]

It is going to be freeware and I think you mentioned it 4 months ago but I just think that project needs attention and love because they are doing this in their free time.

[@tavurnsznyt]

[@malcolmclark9025]

Hi any news on quality wings 787 in my mind its been the best yet but still not available for fs2020.

[@FlyBySimulations]

Nothing yet mate, they seem to have gone suuuppper quite ever since their initial announcement for MSFS. It’s really sad and would love to see their products for the new sim, I’ll be sure to update the community as soon as we know more. If you want to see more tutorials just like this, please consider giving this video a like and subscribing to the channel :)

[@777FreakyD]

How can you rate unreleased add-ons? The A330 hasn't even released what features the dev is including, yet you rate the quality and complexity?

[@FlyBySimulations]

Hey there, thanks for watching. The unreleased add-ons have been rated based on the information we have on them so far, including their expected complexity, price and so on. Of course, when the add-on releases, I’ll be making updated videos covering them too :)

[@Bigguyragged]

Would the PMDG 737 be the best console add-on or is there any better options?

[@FlyBySimulations]

I’d say so to be honest- definitely the most detailed in terms of airliners :)

[@Bigguyragged]

@@FlyBySimulations thank you for your opinion on this because I am going to buy it but I didn’t want to spend $105 AUD on a add-on without asking someone first

[@jackbarlow7380]

yooo first love your videos so so much keep doing what your doing

[@FlyBySimulations]

Thank you so much mate :)

[@ealrip]

Fenix A320 is the best study level aircraft on MSFS 2020.

[@FlyBySimulations]

Have to agree with you there mate :)

[@Lone_GamerUK]

Well It's October and the A330 isn't out and neither is the MD-11 But we have to see if they make 2023, I think the A330 is now 2024.

[@enfantterrible4868]

I can't even fly the FlyByWire anymore, since i bought the Fenix. The system depth and cockpit quality makes the FBW feel like almost an arcade plane

[@FlyBySimulations]

Been hearing about this problem a lot recently, the FBW devs are usually pretty fast at addressing stuff like this- hope they can resolve the issue in a timely manner :)

[@johannberger9630]

Thanks for this and all the other videos you made with full of information! I love them. 💗What about a little tutorial-video about the new LVFR-Airbus Functions? This would be great. All love and peace for you dear @FlyBy Simulations. ✌😀👍💞

[@FlyBySimulations]

Thank you for your heartwarming comment :) I’ll look into the LVFR Airbus aircrafts, but no promises since I don’t own the add-on at the moment :/

The Top Mach Studios F22 is a great payware fighter

[@HashtagFelix]

Can you talk about the Freeware 767 thats coming? i dont remember if its study level or not but its from a small studio. also forgot the name, but if you find it and maybe can mention it would be cool :)

[@FlyBySimulations]

Hey there mate, thanks for watching. I actually addressed the freeware 767 you’re talking about in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2aXgpV3fJqaeKc

[@loofs3]

Do you think the MD-80 will ever come to X-Box?

[@marknewcombe1013]

As msfs 2020 was first released on 18th August 2020 , how can you say it is almost 4 years old ? It is almost only 3 years old . Mark.

[@drewer757]

I'm going to get the Fenix when it has IAE engines too. And the F-28. And bluebird 757. And RJ-85. And don't forget the jankyjet MD-80. That's a great "neither Airbus nor Boeing" addon that is already available. 😁

[@FlyBySimulations]

Completely agree- defo will include it in part 2. Can’t wait for the A320 with IAE engineszz

[@ShawnsAviationAndSpottingKEWR]

i hope they release the upcoming aircrafts into the marketplace because i don't know how to download and put it in a folder so it can be in msfs

[@FlyBySimulations]

Hmm, if you’re on PC, I think it’s prudent to learn how to place all these add-ons in the community folder- it’s really not that hard and you’ll be waiting a long time for all these fantastic mods to come to the Marketplace :(

[@davidwhite8495]

@FlyBySimulations I feel some textures and smoothness of 737 features should be done and some exterior light changes

[@FlyBySimulations]

Fair I’ve honestly felt that pmdg’s textures are a little too clean sometimes too, so I would like some changes in that regard as well I guess :)

[@denziiey]

Lol i both and want to know what level you think pmdg is far from.fenix. they've released the entire 737 NG series and have simulated the 737 in one of the most detailed consumer versions. What ya'll still vex about the tablet? The fps or flightsim performance of pmdg is superior to the Fenix. Not downing fenix cause i bought it first and enjoyed it however after getting pmdg i can't believe that it performs even better than FBW. There both amazing products but to talk about same level that's just foolish.

[@AviationJG]

@@FlyBySimulations like the modeling aspect of it it just looks weird from every other airbus I’ve flown

[@FlyBySimulations]

Hmm, I’ve always found the original modeling for the FBW A32NX quite decent. Of course, nowhere near the Fenix’s quality, but then again, it’s free.

[@AviationJG]

@@FlyBySimulations no no yea that’s no question it’s good, not fenix level but good

[@Incidental104]

It has been four years, and I must admit I'm quite dissatisfied with the limited options for study-level modern commercial airlines in our flight simulators. The PMDG 737 and Fenix A320, along with perhaps the CRJ, are the only ones available, but the CRJ feels somewhat incomplete, particularly in terms of their physics. I find myself wondering, where are the Ejets and the extended family of A320 aircraft? Where are the wide-body aircraft options? While the A310 is a fantastic aircraft, its real-world operational use is non existent in 2023 outside of Iran its just odd flying an A310 across the Atlantic.

[@FlyBySimulations]

I agree, but these airliners do take a lot of time and effort to develop. If you follow the channel often, you’ll know that the 757,747,777, A380 are all incoming very shortly. But since the markets get rather saturated pretty soon with similar airliners, I do understand your frustration and echo it in large parts as well :)

[@Incidental104]

@@FlyBySimulations Yea but X-Plane 12 has been out for way shorter and already has all of the a320 series and Neo series and the a340

[@FlyBySimulations]

But you have to remember that porting over add-ons from X-Plane 11 to X-plane 12 was way easier, since the platforms, their SDKs and such were nearly identical. As such the Toliss A340, the A320 by Flight Factor and so on were pretty easily ported over to the platform. Not so easy to do with MSFS, where it’s a significant leap forward in technology. You’ll see something very similar with the upcoming MSFS 2024, wherein all current add-ons will easily be ported over to the new platform without much wait, as FS2020 is not much different ti FS2024

[@cyclone3941]

sorry the Fenix has not been updated since Nov '22

[@PommesPaul7838]

Can you do an XBOX Video where you rate every XBOX marketplace airliner

[@FlyBySimulations]

Hmm, I could do that for sure, it’s just that I down own an Xbox and would therefore not be in the best position to rate some of these add-ons. Maybe I’ll run a poll on my Discord to see what some Xbox users say about the add-ons :)

[@Southernswag8283]

I remember waiting for the PMDG and the CRJ for Xbox. By the time they came out over a year later after being released on PC first, the hype was over. I didn’t even care about it at that point. MSFS has a real bad problem with content. Xbox only releases liveries and airports. You would think planes would be more important when the game is called MSFS. I’ve been looking forward to the Airbus A380 that was announced around a year ago and it probably won’t be released for another year and a half and by then, I just won’t care about it anymore. The wait times are way to long. I wish they wouldn’t even announce that their making a aircraft and just release it when it’s done because with the CRJ, they claimed it was coming to Xbox and almost 2 years later, No CRJ for Xbox and now they finally have admitted they don’t plan on releasing it. Talk about being absolutely pissed. Why get our hopes up and make us wait around 2 years only to tell us it’s not happening anymore. I stopped playing MSFS with 1,200 hours of flight time. I was so sick of seeing airports and liveries on the market place.

LOL…..2 months later and the MD-11 is 1% further along.

[@jay-rus4437]

Im a fan of some of the amazing sim aircraft that we have available. However, TFDi MD-11 cost is actually a bit of a slap in the face. Really, $5 off for an early purchase? Ridiculous. I will pass just because of that. They want us to buy it so that others can wait and see if its worth it, meaning the early buyers are potentially bringing in additional sales for the company. So spending $80 to get a $5 failure package isnt my idea of a deal. Thats my .02 cents anyway, and it really isnt worth even that 😁

[@Kreemerz]

I find it hard to watch these types of videos... I typically give thumbs down. because this video sounds like an ad where you simply read a script and doesn't give any impression you personally have used these airplanes over a several month period or years. opening with the "like and subscribe" mantra is so nauseating now. This content comes off nothing more than scam like.
