Exactly, agree 100%. Don’t know what their strategy with the Xbox marketplace might be, but it’s definitely not customer friendly. And it’s one thing that there are way less airplanes compared to PC, but all the announcements without ever releasing and/or giving a statement why it’s delayed, that’s just frustrating. I really enjoy the game, but I get tired of getting hyped with new content and announcements without ever seeing that stuff.

I’m guessing some time this month the Piper will arrive. The CS777 is there, so my guess is that it’s pretty close now.

What’s the CS777?
The CaptainScam 777. Just pretend it doesn’t exist.

I watched a review of that plane haha. Pathetic in my opinion how they’ve slapped an external skin on the default 747. And couldn’t even be bothered to change the avionics even just a little bit. And are charging 23 quid for the privilege.

its better than the bredok 737, but yeah its a bit pricey for a rehash

I would not call that a rehash, that addon has a absolutely nothing to do with a 777 despite external looks and is an insult to the marketplace.
I don’t disagree with you
And that’s saying something, the market does a good enough job of insulting itself

Did you try with full flaps and max power?
I would only think about buying CS or bredok on xbox for real world liveries and that’s the only reason otherwise their both pretty horrible from my experiences on pc, although CS does a better job at fooling the average player.
Does the autopilot work properly (LNAV/VNAV) does the FMC work at a basic (default) level? Have they updated the flight model so it doesn’t feel so heavy like you’re flying the default 787 (bredok) or 747 (CS), what about the sounds have they updated the sounds? I know CS had 747 sounds not the 777. Does CS have animations for the doors yet?
I just want pmdg boeing planes or even Fenix a320 or a320nx or even CRJ, but I’m not sure any will release on xbox anytime soon…
Even if Xbox releases real world liveries for default aircraft on the marketplace that would at least keep me entertained for a bit

The CRJ “It needs some serious tweaking to make the input compatible with the Xbox. No full schedule on that yet, it is a good deal of work.”
Fenix won’t release on xbox
[Source: FAQ on their Discord server]
A32NX doesn’t show any sign to return, on the marketplace is too hard to push regular updates as they can with their own installer (according to them).
I’ve asked on the PMDG forum whether the 737 will be released for Xbox. No answer yet

Could I ask any experienced users for a quick review of either the F14/15 on the marketplace?

Just be aware
The max still has some minor gripes but at least they are fixing things. They added wing flex amongst other things recently. Its probably the best you are getting with commercial liveries at the moment on xbox.
I’m enjoying it. Quite fun. No major issues and most buttons work as intended.
Thanks for this, really helpful.

Do look around online for reviews - multiple - before buying aircraft especially airliners.
Captain Sim’s 777 is literally a 747 with the 3D model of a 777 on the exterior instead. You already have the airplane since it flies the exact same as the default 747. So unless you have money to spend and just want nice screenshots of a “different” plane, just yeah. Look up what you’re buying first lol.
That said, don’t let others make your purchase decisions, but know what you’re getting first so you’re at least informed.
Cheers

Just curious what’s wrong with reddit? I don’t really use it either but sometimes I end up reading reviews on it just by hitting links like these…

Fenix won’t release on xbox, because it out of game software to help run it, which is currently not possible to implement on xbox (and probably won’t ever be).
