    The FlyByWire A320 mod is absolutely fantastic. It’s opened up an entire new level of depth to the sim, and the integration with SimBrief/Navigraph charts is a QoL dream. I can get a flight plan generated, loaded to MCDU, filled with pax/cargo and ready for takeoff in just a few minutes now. Been doing lots of ~1.5h hops around Europe to get a bunch of experience with setup and takeoff/landing. I’ve done a few flights in the ATR as well, but I mcuh prefer the EFB and sound effects of the FBW A320.

    I’m thinking 787 next, as I haven’t learned any Boeings yet and I have the premium deluxe edition.

      I just took my first full IFR flight successfully yesterday with VATSIM ATC all the way yesterday and it was just amazing, with the FBW 320. The flyPad integration with VATSIM was so freaking convenient and I haven’t even plumbed all the depths of the pad yet.

      Question for you, when you load PAX, how do you do that? I get a jetway connected but how do you get people to board or is that just a faux element?
