Quite a nice list of aircraft. #1 and 2 were bound to be controversial. After having watched V1Simulations go through all those failures in his recent Fenix streams, it seems that the Fenix is very deeply simulated. Both these aircraft are so good, I don’t see how us mere simmers would be able to determine depth of “depth of simulations” to be honest. Seems like we have reached a point now where you need to be type rated to legitimately know for sure, and that is a great thing for us.

Definitely agree that the 737 is no. 1. I have and fly both, the Fenix is outstanding, however, it lacks time compression, a must have as an option when flying multi hour long flights. Pmdg has mastered this in a very complex package, a feat that I am sure is technically difficult. The Fenix has no such option and it appears, from what I can tell, beyond their ability at this point. They had a 2x and then took it out due to instability, PMDG has a brilliant auto cruise that cycles up to 16x.

For me, the 737 is the best choice because of my Honeycomb controls which have replica levers for Boeing, whereas I'd have to make a separate purchase of Airbus controls to get the same sense of immersion. As for an EFB, it's coming for the 737, and I own Sim EFB anyway, so it's such a minor difference. The FMC in the 737 already includes most EFB config functions anyway. I also prefer the plethora of toggle switches to the push buttons in the A320, and flying an airliner with a joystick doesn't feel right to me. Just my personal preference. I'll likely purchase the Fenix A320 at some point. I also own the Cessna 310 (so much fun!) and just got the Kodiak, also great fun.

I have most of these aircraft and agree with most of your evaluations. However, I believe the Fenix outshines the PMDG 737 at present due to the missing areas of the simulation, I.e., no EFB and no weather simulation. The Phoenix does such a good job of providing in cockpit functionality with the EFB that it is fully immersive for VR. Maybe once PMDG provide a completed product, it will outshine the A320. For now, my award goes to the Fenix A320.

Very interesting you placed the PMDG above the Fenix - which every reviewer I have watched have clearly stated the A320 is much better than the 737 and is now the benchmark for sim aircraft. Having flown both of them myself I can easily say the Fenix is far better than the PMDG. 'Depth of system simulation' - I think you may be very very mistaken on that point alone my friend, and the modelling of both cockpit and cabin is far superior in the Fenix. By all means you are entitled to your opinion....I mean hey even Amber Turd is getting 1% voting for her in the latest trial support poles... :)

Quite surprising to see the 737 in the #1 spot considering what you said in your review of the Fenix ("It is far better than PMDG in all departments" - to quote your own words). I have to wonder what changed since 23/05 when your review was posted to change your opinion so drastically. As for the "depth of systems simulation" - does the PMDG have working circuit breakers yet? Because Fenix has like 280 of them. All working as you would expect.

@@TheKuritsa Work smarter, not harder. PMDG made the decision to develop this way and now they have to own it. Blaming every single thing wrong on Asobo just doesn't work anymore, especially when other developers just make their own workarounds instead of moaning and complaining. There is nothing that PMDG does, that Fenix doesn't do better - just so happens it's the overwhelming opinion of the majority of the flightsim community in multiple places where this topic is discussed (including Q8Pilot if you watched his Fenix review!). Simply put, PMDG is quite clearly on the decline and I still don't see how they can claim the #1 spot, especially considering their condescending and arrogant attitude toward their customers.

Than you gave a review of the 737 with a score of a 9/10 and did a review of the Fenix A320 with a 10/10 sounds like you are contradicting yourself putting PMDG at #1. I have no problem with the list PMDG can do and should of done better than what they did with their first release in MSFS. I could argue that the Maddog could be #2 behind Fenix if they had a better sound and texture pack and of coarse 20 USD cheaper.

As a fan of Boeings in general, I have to say the Fenix A320 beat out the PMDG 737 in my opinion. It actually released as a complete product, basically bug-free, feature-rich, and the PMDG has yet to release so much as a patch for an incomplete product which has a lot of bugs and minimal features. I have both of these aircraft, and I don't believe the PMDG deserves to be even above the Leonardo MD80 (also own that). The PMDG 737 needs to mature a lot, and it's going to take a long time to do that. Putting it - an early-access release - above two complete addons which have already seen post-release support and have many more features seems a bit ridiculous to me.

With PMDG, I really liked the Jetstream 4100 for fsx…except for visual artifacts and ctds…but that I think has more to do with the mediocre system I had. I wish they would bring it back or even a Saab 340

Top 5 should have been: Flysimware Cessna 414, PDMG DC-6, JustFlight Bae 146, PMDG 737-700- and the Fenix A320 at number one. the Maddog is far too expensive considering the bad graphics and sounds, the 310 flight model is far worse than the 414. The Fenix is just the best product of them all simulation wise and price/value

@@Q8Pilot it will be interesting to reassess after a few months once both addons have been updated. I am particularly looking forward to the PMDG improved cabin textures, EFB and improved LNAV/VNAV. Fenix in all fairness is a new developer with much less experience than PMDG. What they have achieved is outstanding. On the other hand I think people were expecting more from PMDG who had a headstart having done a 737 for both FSX and P3D. To release the 737 with no tablet is simply inexcusable. To reuse textures in some areas of the plane from P3D is also disappointing. Contrast that with the outstanding texturing job done by fenix and you can begin to see why some of us are a hit peeved( don’t get me started on the Maddog).

youre just wrong, fenix is number 1. You mention texturing and modelling, yet fenix is better in both departments the level of detail in the fenix cockpit texturing is just mind blowing and something we haven't seen before in any flight simulation, then we move to the cabin, have you even seen what pmdgs cabin looks like? fenixs cabin is much more detailed. the fenix also comes with a efb while pmdg doesn't. Next lets speak system depth, again fenix blows pmdg out of the room. i just don't understand how you said pmdg was number 1. you clearly don't know what you're talking about and also fenix comes with over 100 liveries boths in 4k and 8k textures. very biased review, or should I say how much is pmdg paying you?
