After a flight or two I found that the B717 flys relatively well. In-puting Simbrief flight plans through the MSFS load tab works well also. Texture are good we just need more like American and Hawaiian ect.

It's okay, very cheap A320neo skin. Having frustration with the animation panel (R-alt + click not doing it). Flight dynamics seem a little off, but also the jetway not being aligned is a downer.

Also would like the ability to travel around the cabin to set some wingviews, which are nonexistent.

Anyone has the issue where when starting from Cold & Dark at the gate, after powering up the AC the MFDs do not come alive? I tried also to increase the brightness but nothing. Same with the Autopilot panel. Nothing in the dials. Also missing the yoke. If I start the flight inflight or at the runways with engines running the MFDs are on. Thanks

Thanks for feedback, we are currently working on increasing the amount of liveries availability.

Unfortunately, we do not know exact waiting time for the 717 before it gets on the market. We are all set for a launch, but Microsoft rules and check ups are causing delays.

Can you describe the issue with A/P in more details?

Hold right Alt on your keyboard and left-click on the screen - it will pop-up. You can control the animations. Unfortunately, if you switch to the external view or drone camera, you cannot click, as it only works when you’re in the cockpit.

set some wingviews

Wing views are EZ. Just go to the aircraft cfg.file named "cameras"scroll down and find this line
InitialXyz = -0.045, 0.7, -2.5
change it to
InitialXyz = -10.045, 0.7, -2.5 that will put you outside the aircraft when you load in ,then move to the location you desire save your views. Then go back to "cameras" and return the Xyz line back to the original state. thats it!

Bonjour, Les cadrans MFD pour le plan de vol ne s'allument pas, j'ai tout essayé, rien a faire ! Il n 'y a que quand je démarre MSFS 2020 avec l 'avion sur la piste que tout s'allume.
Quelqu'un connait il la solution pour résoudre ce problème ou est ce un bug?
Merci d'avance
Lassao
