Is this new plane free? I am new to the forum and this is very confusing to the other flight sim forums (Aerofly)

The wheel movement once it touches the ground enhances it. The normal 737-800 just lands flat.

Approaching my final leg of a 7h flight in the MAX. So smooth. I like it so far.

Not sure if anything has actually changed, but it feels like the MAX turns more smoothly and naturally with autopilot compared to other aircraft.

Any chance the anti servo tab on the aileron will be fixed to go the right way?

Side tip, if you slam the rudder to one side, then back the other way, with only a little bit of practice you can do a pirouette. Like a 360 degree rotation about the vertical axis losing only a couple hundred feet. You can also pull like 17g at 500 kts, you can also get to well over 500kts at sea level lol

Currently cruising for my first online flight (KMCI–>KDCA) after some landing trials. The plane feels fantastic! Much more stable on approach than the other 737s we have. I suspect it is going to become my go to short-haul/narrow-body.
