What is "professional"? - gbapache - 03-07-2010
It's true, I'm going to pay for an airliner. In my shopping I have noticed that some planes have a professional version. What's the
difference?
Re: What is "professional"? - timtomairways - 03-07-2010
Im not shure
but i would think that it means the aircraft lacks eye candy features, in favor of more realistic systems and avionics

And the winner is.........................................Dash 8-300 from Just Flight. No GPS and the Otto is quirky. It's like flying a Huey again.

Professional flight sim aircraft tend to be payware aircraft which usually have exeptionally realistic models and avionics, although some
packages do not allow you to take it 'step-by-step', and just begin with advanced piloting right away. I currently have 3 payware
professional addons, being; Dash 8 Prof., CLS airbus fleet (A300, A310, Beluga), and 757 Captian, which is probably the best one you
can get for fs2004; you have to be careful on FSX because fully animated cockpits and models slow your framerates. Another payware is
PMDG, which have great cockpits, but the exterior models can sulk a bit. If your looking for freeware, then its always Project Opensky
(POSKY); they make most of the boeing jets, crjs, embraers and the a330/a340, but if your looking for the a320 family, well tough. The
closest thing to 'prof' for airbus is project airbus, whom have a crappy website.
