Simviation Forums

I haven't had much time lately due to a lot of work and new clients for Fs-Gs but I had these shots sitting around and decided to post them.

This plane (in all its liveries) has become my favorite (heavy)  to fly and is without a doubt one of the best if not the best 737-700s I have ever flown in the sim far surpassing the PMDG both in performance, graphics and functionality.

The ARIANE 737-300 wearing the colors of El-Al flying from Ben Gurion to Eilat.

Feel free to comment.

Awesome!

Thanks everyone.

What do you think of the ARIANE?

Michael:
I had the 737 VC edition. HDD crashed this summer and because of their refund policy I'm unable to get my copy back.
I can live with that, it's no problem. The problem is their high pricing and what you get.
Ariane claims their 737NG can be used as a REAL 737 simulator, for training purposes. Anyone who knows anything about commercial aviation knows that even the real Level-D sims arent 100% accurate, let alone a software for a 35$ PC simulator.

When I bought the aircraft the IRS was not properly functioning, FMC had limited functions (some pages were missing). VNAV was only partially modelled.
I know since then that Ariane has patched it. May be lot better now.
Also, they dont have a support forum which is essential in todays market.

I'm in noway saying that their 737 is trash.
But systemwise it's far from PMDG, but visually it is far ahead of it. It's flawless from the outside basicly.

And I dont want to repeat myself, but for 50 euros you'd expect a better refund policy and community support  ???

If you could merge the Ariane visuals with PMDGs systems/AFDS you'd get a PERFECT aircraft.

Remember that I'm an existing Ariane customer and I have formed MY own opinion based on experiences with them. I can understabd some people are satisfied with their products, but they have no clue have to program realistic AP logic.

Nexus,

Thanks for the opportunity to set the record straight at least I can always count on you to be there.

I have been dealing with ARIANE now for 6 months I have copies of every single one of their planes and their repaints.

I have found them to be cooperative in every question or issue that I have had.

Their support has been outstanding in every aspect and while true that they do not have a forum their personal 1 on1 support has never failed to be both accurate, polite and helpful.

The FMS and IRS work flawlessly and contain functionality which is not available on any other add-on that I am aware of ( and I have them all).

I do have a "clue" how to program AP Logic and have had an entirerly different experience from you and I don't think it's up to you to decide that they "don't have a clue" since you have no idea who has a clue and who doesn't unless of course you have access to their client database which I doubt.

I also have clients who are 737 pilots and have the same opinion as I do and who are much more knowledgable than I am and whose opinion I trust explicitly.

In fact one of them is in the process of writing a new manual for them as we speak.

Fs-Gs and myself would not recommend a product on this or any other forum unless it were fully tested and found to be outstanding.

As to the price that is up to the individual to decide. If the market supports the product than its worth is justifiable and is not up to the "community" to decide the spending habits of others.

I back-up all my downloads to an exterior drive so that I have them in case of any failures and reinstall quite often and have had no problem on that end either nor have any of my clients who have had to request anything from Ariane.

I stand by what I said in my post "by far the best 737s available on the market today.

Oh and by the way did you like the screenshots? I know they are all exterior shots but I like things that way and once I'm flying I like showing my scenery in screenshots it relaxes me after long hours of dealing with 100s of clients who fly and love flightsim.

Did you get a chance to read any of the reviews about Fs-Gs on AVSIM Flightsim or other sites? I'm proud of those.

Check them out if you get a chance.

Like I said: When I got the aircraft the VNAV mode was ALWAYS in SPD, despite I was flying in cruise mode, which it should read VNAV PTH because the "FMC" is now in command of the speed and VNAV is responsible for maintaining altititude.

In a climb the FMC is in command of maintaining correct N1 thrust and it's VNAV's duty to pitch the aircraft in order to get the correct speed.

Did Ariane depict this for me? Hardly.
Why did they say their NG was the most realistic outthere when their AFDS was not modelled as the real McCoy. Thats false marketing.

You asked for opinions about it and I responded.
Glad to hear you have clients so you can help all of us who doesn't really know anything about the sim, off course you must be really proud.  :D

Nexus,

1) OK let's say this was true for you and let's say their advertisement is over the top (not the first time i've ever seen that). Did you address that to them.

Or did you talk the way you talk to me with your aggressivness and negativity.

I'll ask them and we'll see what they have to say and I'll put their response here for everyone to read

2) I am only going to warn you one more time to stop making comments about Fs-Gs in a public forum

You have no knowledge of what I do or how.

I will once again request that the moderators ask you to refrain from making any comments regarding Fs-Gs.

You want to attack me personally feel free it's like an ant on an elephant.

Make another snide comment about my business and I guarantee you that it will end unhappily.

I am commenting Arianes 737.
I'm pretty aware that you can read.
I've dedicated several rows of text about their aircraft.

And Ramsa I dont understand you. You write me and tell that I know nothing and everything you do is so much better than me. Then you ask me to read the review of your fine company at AVSIM and that you have gotten many new clients.
I responded to that, and you become upset. Should I not have replied to that statement at all?
Your logic fails to make sense to me, and everyone who treathens me on an internet forum is really quite a character  :-/


So...am I the elephant or the ant...do I get to pick or?  ::)

"Glad to hear you have clients so you can help all of us who doesn't really know anything about the sim, off course you must be really proud"

This is what is known as a snide remark (uncomplimentary - tending to (or intended to) detract or disparage) and you know it.

You used it in the same way as you have in the past and I'm telling you so that it will be clear to you that I am sick of it.

Just as I've told you before over and over again.
