TFDI DESIGN - 717

TFDI DESIGN - 717

I just installed this aircraft. I am running Prepar3d v5.3. I find this to be a fully functional, stable and fun to fly model. I have not yet tried the VNAV functionality but from some YouTube videos I saw it demoed and it appeared to be fully functional. I love the textures of this aircraft, both inside and outside; the cockpit lights give it a nice bright color and all the navigation systems are very well designed. It's an exciting aircraft to fly both manually and with autopilot. The engine sounds are solid. I use TrueGlass and did not have to lower any of the settings; I run the B717 at as about 5.6 GB VRAM / 6.00 GB VRAM at 50 / 55 FPS at 1440p of resolution with an RTX 3080ti and 36 GB of DRAM and it's very fluid (no stutters). I am very happy with my purchase! I am not sponsored by TFDi Design, I was just looking for something other than the 'usual' PMDG models (I do not own any of their aircraft, yet). This is a keeper. I hope that providing my PC specs / resolution and the exact Prepar3d version that I run helps others who may be on the fence about this B717.
