how FPS-friendly are the FF 767. and ToLiss A321 compared to the JARDesign 330. and Zibo 737?  

And which plane do you recommend more?

Thanks!!!

hello, i am interested in this aircraft. Is it worth the 45 bucks if I am a 787 fan?

or should i get the VMAX 787 instead? thanks!

Hello (again),

I want to fly some medium to long routes, and my choices are the JD330 and FF777, because they are within my 60 dollar budget.

As you said before, the 777 will probably work with my specs. I asked JAR wether it would work. He gave me a trial key, and it worked quite well on my system.

So, I'm looking between the two, and wondering which one is better.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

hello stephen, one more question on fps. how does the 767 professional compare to the ToLiss A319 and Flight Factor 777 extended in terms of FPS? thanks!

btw I can somehow run the toliss with my severely underspec-ed system. gliding kiwi told me to give it a try, it works surprisingly well with 20+ fps consistently.

Well, I was made reluctant by this from Almdudler wrote above (especially the undelined by me):

last critic is the lack of performance variability on approach. i have flown this plane as a cockpit observer in the caribbean,

and i can tell you: base-to-final approaches are aggressively banky and steepy due to  the special terrian this plane operates.

Short approaches are this plane's thing. 

But this virtual product does not include any of these parameters, it is not slowing down when it should, and it does not speed up when it should.

Plz advise

well... i've never flown a real twin otter, so can't be 100% sure. don't know how the plane is in real life, but true, sometimes slowing down is a bit annoying. however, it's still a very cheap payware, only 30 bucks. probably worth it, depends on wether you are looking for 99% systems and fully accurate physics, or just a pretty good plane that has most systems simulated and good for regular ops.

I think that it is worth the price of 30 bucks. It's not too 'study level', as in it's so realistic that you can learn the actual aircraft from using it in the sim. But many functions and features are implemented, sound are not as good, but overall i think that this plane is worth the 30 bucks, if you'd like to have a nice aircraft with around 70-80% of the systems, many features and menus for a cheap price. recommended for the price.

go for it! just the sounds are a bit 'meh'.

edit: also the frames  are pretty good, with 1536 mb of vram (not using my external GPU),  I get 20-25 fps in default airport scenery, around 15 fps in heavy freeware sceneries like Mister X.

edit again: and you can land at short runways like lukla and tffj.

i bought it, it's really nice! classical RWDesigns, not 'study level', but really fun and interesting! I'm gonna do some flights to Lukla soon!

a side note, but RWDesigns is known to make many variations of planes? like their a330 has 3 engine types (RR/GE/PW), and this twin otter has regular/ski/floats?

hi stephen, one more question, is there rolls royce trent 800 for the 777-200ER? because there are some liveries that say they are for the trent 800.

probably one of the last questions from me– should I get the a350 or upgrade the 777 to the extended? I really love the 777, especially the freighter and -300ER, so that would make sense to upgrade it. On the other hand,  a new aircraft would be nice too, and the a350 also sounds quite good to me. so what do you reccomend? a 25 dollar upgrade or a 50 dollar new plane? thanks!!!

i have the freeware version. it's kinda ok for freeware, with quite a few buttons working, but i don't think it would be worth it for payware, at least not until it gets close to study-level.

FF Airbus A320 Ultimate is more expensive for a reason with far more features, but system wise they are equal.

what are some of those features that the toliss doesnt have? other than the ipad with the browser and stuff...

even the toliss a319 + jar GHD is cheaper than this

would both toliss's be more worth it? they are 10-20 bucks cheaper, and seem better...

Actually about the same, dated and both need a version two update, both are well overdue.

ok thanks. then i'll probably get the a350 due to the lower price. people seem to favour the a350 more. is there any reason? or is it just because of the price?

how does the a350 compare to the 777?

Totally depends on what the MCDU update really is, is it just an addon SID/STAR to the current FMC, or a complete real working MCDU. If the former then no, if the latter then yes to your question, Personally the fully working MCDU will come in the v2.

ok. how does the a350 compare to the 777?

50% love it and 50% hate it, personally I don't think it is too bad, the core of the issue is that the developer not renowned for doing any updates? so the aircraft tend to drift into disrepair.

rwdesigns is known for doing quite nice aircraft, but the updates are not too common, thats for sure (or at least for their a330, it's quite nice). thanks!

is there any reason why this excellent aircraft is so cheap? it seems quite nice!

worth the 50 bucks (after the april sid/star update)?

NO, it isn't? The user had, had effects on by using the rain effects, when he turned them off and made them equal and they were exactly the same, it is fundamentally the same aircraft just a little longer...  different users have different setups that effect their frame rate, plus in most cases they don't know what they are actually doing, then react and basically broadcast crap. As a reviewer we test everything in a set, set of conditions to get the right results, we mostly always ignore these wildcard idiots and their wild statements. Framerate is basically different to everyone in X-Plane on your system set up.

oh ok, thanks!!!

Nothing between them as they are basically the same aircraft...

but i heard that the a321 has 20% better fps than the a319?

on reddit ppl say this:

"The frame rate is about 20% better for me in the A321 than in the A319, you might want to bare that in mind."

"Yea I'm not sure how Toliss did this. I get higher framerate in the a321 than the default 747."

is this true? thanks!!!

how are the fps on this compared to the toliss a319? thanks!

I have looked at the aircraft, but in my estimation it was not developed sufficiently for a review, Pre-release aircraft will not be reviewed unless they are sufficient enough to warrant their purchase price no matter what the developer promises.

ok. it does look kinda 'meh', especially the cockpit...

hi, im not sure if u take requests, but if so, please do one for the cremona soft a310!

Thanks Dave... you try 🙂

i will never be able to do the same level of reviews as your's, keep up the good work!
