The 737NG remains on the most popular aircraft in the world. Whether you think it was PR suicide or genius, the fact remains that the community got a brand new 737 Next Generation aircraft almost out of the blue. At the time, the product named NGXu was never known to the community until a few hours after the initial announcement. Stop the cash grab, and start making/maintaining your reputation.Initially, PMDG sent the community into a bit of a panic when they announced that the long-awaited and fabled NG3 would instead be heading to Microsoft Flight Simulator and not to Prepar3D. Please, for the love of all things holy, start producing products to be proud of. Special mention is the Junkers, but I don’t use that one for real flights. It’s been over a year, and we have 2 worthwhile 3rd party multi-engine payware planes IMO. It’s the overall trend of junk that is being produced. Not perfect, but they were definitely worlds better than what they’re producing now. I have no ill will towards Carenado in particular – their planes in X Plane were very, very good. The reason I don’t fly that one often is because I prefer steam gauges, and that one only has a G1000. It’s single engine performance is excellent, it behaves as it should, and it does a perfect Vmc Demo. Sadly, the most realistic performing piston twin I’ve come across in the sim is the default Baron. With 9 passengers in a C402 with Continental VTSIO-550s, you could climb with at least 300 FPM.Įvery flight with a new plane, I do standard things you’d do if you were getting checked out in the plane in real life (stalls, steep turns, short field TO/LDGs, etc.). The Continental TSIO-360-RB engines are no slouch. I can forgive the Seminole (a bit) because it’s normally aspirated…but the Seneca is TURBO CHARGED! I mean, 220 HP on each engine. The lack of quality/realism from 3rd party developers shameful. You start seeing Vmc around 5 knots below blue line…I mean…come on man. At sea level, with the operating engine at full power, I’m getting a 500 FPM descent with a total payload of 50%. I appreciate how they allow the props to feather, but it does nothing to alleviate the drag from a windmilling prop. In BOTH planes, single engine performance is non-existent. They’re both visually stunning, but I like doing single engine approaches and go-arounds in the sim.
I don’t have any real world experience with it, but I did get my multi engine rating in the Seminole, which I got from them months ago. With the sale, I decided to pick up the Seneca.
