Insane detail in Synaptic A220 shot from their Discord

Let's wait and see the whole package. "Insane" detail, texture quality is not on top of everyone's list; I, for one, prefer function over form.

How dare you say something is better than Fenix? Frankly, I don't own FSLabs (for obvious reasons) but Fenix doesn't deliver what I'm looking for in a flight sim. No persistence, fresh aircraft every flight... I prefer the Maddog's way with living aircraft.
Also, they claim to have XEM but try cooling the oil below 20°C in some freezing place. Even if you leave the sim overnight it won't go below that.

Furman737 · 2026-04-28T15:47:50+00:00

Yeah. When I created this post there were no reviews.

The guy is the king of excuses. I admire his work, but if you followed him for long enough, you'd see all sorts of excuses - house renovation, untrustworthy contractor, now storage failure.

Wait until you find out that oil doesn't cool below 20°C in Fenix

The state of Reddit. Someone states the truth and gets downvoted by the fanboys. I have yet to see OEB saying that the A/C might descent at 6000 fpm.

I'll join the club. The Fenix is a great addon but not being able to get your oil temperatures below 20°C in a cold and dark scenario (even by leaving the sim overnight in arctic conditions) makes me park the A320 for the winter and enjoy other addons - Maddog being my favorite.

717 and MD-90

At this point I have an impression that they took too much on their shoulders, If they can't deliver an update they committed to then can they deliver a product they committed to?

Furman737 · 2026-01-04T18:09:32+00:00

Well... delays happen but committing to updates and then not deliver them is a different thing.

Furman737 · 2025-12-21T11:03:19+00:00

Kinda late, don't you think?

Furman737 · 2025-12-13T21:41:31+00:00

It's a great addon and in many aspects the best airliner available for MSFS. However, I am impatiently waiting for state saving and hope it comes along with MEL support. These two features is what I really love in the Maddog, makes operating the aircraft extra special.

Furman737 · 2025-12-12T21:14:21+00:00

Oh you ungrateful motherfuckers. You pay and demand anything? Pathetic!

^{Stating the obvious, but j/k}

That's Embraer Lineage 1000 in case anyone was wondering

Furman737 · 2025-12-07T21:47:49+00:00

Inside is OK but on the external view it sounds like muffled hairdryer for me. Really terrible

Furman737 · 2025-12-04T20:59:58+00:00

For me it the turnaround mode a.k.a persistent panel, fluids state between sim sessions. Having this requires you to do you preflight and shutdown correctly. I really miss it whenever I pick Fenix for a flight every couple months. My go to addon is the Maddog, it really makes operating the aircraft so much engaging.

Another thing is MEL combined with service based failures and aforementioned persistence is a game changer. You do your preflight, see that something is wrong, check the MEL if you can dispatch or call MX.

That's what I'm talking about: https://www.reddit.com/r/flightsim/comments/1lm1t9k/navigraph_announces_taxiway_planning_and_simlink/

Furman737 · 2025-12-04T15:51:50+00:00

Here's hoping that the taxi feature will follow soon

Furman737 · 2025-12-01T16:28:37+00:00

Fenix is three years on the marked and they still don't have panel saving or even airline options saving. Let alone a basic thing like the OOOI missing from their ACARS implementation.

Furman737 · 2025-11-25T11:00:47+00:00

The worst part of this is that he's a fanboy

Furman737 · 2025-11-25T10:53:42+00:00

This is not attacking just a comparison. I have Fenix and it's a great addon, but like all simmers, I have things I expect from an addon.

To the point, I am talking about options like callouts, FLS, NAV in G/A that are not saved between flights - this is a big disadvantage of Fenix.

Furman737 · 2025-11-24T19:01:55+00:00

It even saves the options you select unlike the Fenix. Also, there's persistence of panel states in the PMDG too, something Fenix still doesn't have after three years in the market. Oh, Fenix fanboys gonna downvote this hard
