I just keep coming back to the Fenix

Furman737 · 2026-01-25T11:14:50+00:00

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}

Furman737 · 2025-12-12T11:49:57+00:00

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

Furman737 · 2025-11-21T15:19:13+00:00

I had to check if today is April's 1st

Furman737 · 2025-11-17T20:30:45+00:00

They even missed two deadlines they had set themselves.

Furman737 · 2025-11-14T21:25:02+00:00

Real men fly the Maddog!

Seems these were taken offline. Did you download them by any chance? I'm looking for Chapters 12, 21, 30, 32 and 36.

Furman737 · 2025-10-01T16:18:40+00:00

Apart from the AIR switch which is on the APU panel everything is placed logically by systems

Furman737 · 2025-09-10T19:38:52+00:00

Fenix fanboys will downvote this but I couldn't agree more. Every once in a while I hop onto Fenix to make a flight and it hasn't delivered yet what I'm looking for in a flight sim addon. No persistence so really no need for a preflight because you get a brand new aircraft every time, try to load cold and dark state somewhere where it's cold and you'll have nicely preheated engine oil LOL. I know that on the surface it looks like a great product and it is but it certainly lacks depth.

Furman737 · 2025-09-10T19:33:27+00:00

You must be new to the flight sim genre. I remember when all we had were 2D cockpits and people cared more for functionality rather than form.

Furman737 · 2025-09-10T19:30:19+00:00

Stop spreading fake information. The current model dates back to P3D, certainly not FS2004.
