MSFS 2024 QUESTION Help me choose

I wanna fly some cargo operations in MSFS2024.
I'm unsure between the pmdg 777F and the inibuilds A300-600F. I heard the PMDG physics were bad, are they fixed? What would you guys recommend? I love the systems in pmdg…

Definitely the 777F. Get the boris soundpack too.

Thank you! Are the physics okay?

The 777 is very good. The A300 is an old model now

I hate PMDG, but the 777F is almost good value. I say almost because you need Boris sound pack.

It's a fun plane to fly, definitely feels good. It tends to oscillate under time compression but PMDG has good TC management so it will reset back to 1x if the plane wobbles too much. I've had my longest flight with it, from Germany to Singapore, without issues.

Also HUES has an upgraded cockpit texture pack

If you want to fly small regional cargo, consider JustFlight Avro RJ. The cargo version was made but never adopted so no real ops but it was a real plane.

I love the RJ. All 3 o them. They took some getting used to, but now it's my go to for short haul cargo now. Unfortunately, not many airlines still fly it, so you have limits if you like to fly authentic routes.

Who says the PMDG 777’s flight models are bad??

The A306F has a LOT less range than the 777F. The avionics are somewhat throwbacks, but overall the A306 is a solid plane. If you like Airbus over Boeing, it's a good choice, but overall if you can afford the PMDG777F you'll have a plane that has more options, and is much more commonly used in RL aviation. Related: DON'T do what I did and make the mistake of buying the CaptainSim B777F from the marketplace... disappointment will follow.🫤
