Stand alone flight simulator for professionals (and luckily for us hobbyist alike). But I think it's for different target audiences. I usually end up using PSX more often, however that is for my own particular reasons.Īerowinx PSX is a masterpiece, make no mistake. I'm not sure about what data inputs your talking about to confirm or deny, you'd have to give a specific example. It doesn't have acars but it has the same "route request" and wind requests etc, that the 777 has. The 747 has at least the functionality of the 777 (obviously realistic to a 747 not a 777).
I think this mostly went away in the 777's but how is the 747 v3 in this regard?Īnd.very interested to know about what kinds of failures are simulated and the depth of the actual simulation behind each failure. Other stuff like fields that can't have any data input into them because the function is not modeled (Even if it's not modeled I would prefer to be able to input data just to keep the flow consistent). With Aerowinx's sim we can use the ACARS before starting up to send a request (to a separate application or a server wherever) to get takeoff performance data which then gets printed on the screen (Or printed to your printer if you want). Not a huge problem but sometimes it did interfere with my flights.Īs far as the FMC pages go, things I mean are stuff like the ACARS page. It had some problems with porpoising autopilot while in vnav on long leg distances, among others.
Just to be clear I meant I have the original version of the PMDG 747 made for FS9 then upgraded for FSX. It also had a lot of autopilot quirks which drove me nuts - 737 and 777 were much better in this respect.ĭon't mean this to start a flame war, I like PMDG's products! Just want to do some research before I plonk down cash, they both seem to be great products. I have the old 747 and it's nice for a jaunt but compared to the 777 and definitely PSX, I notice the lack of features and minor inaccuracies quickly. are hot starts just a scripted event or are they simulated properly?) How has the PMDG 747 come along since the last 747? Have the FMC pages been improved? Autopilot logic etc more reliable? How about failures and failure realism (I.e. are all excellent in PS1.3a as well and probably have gotten even better in PSX. The flight characteristics and things like fuel burn, AoA in cruise, etc. The biggest benefit of Aerowinx's sim was the extremely accurate FMC/CDU system with, as far as I know, every single page modeled even going as far as engineering / tech pages and lots of ACARS functionality. Now with the new PMDG 747 and PSX on the market, I'm a bit stumped at which one is for me.
#Aerowinx 747 precision simulator manual
Until its successor PSX came out it was undoubtedly the highest fidelity 747 simulator available and PMDG was actually founded in order to create the manual for that sim. I have been using Aerowinx's PS1.3a simulator for something like 15 years now, maybe more.
