October 23, 201114 yr I have both FS9 and FSX, and I seldom fly the "stock/default" planes. I also have PMDG 744 for both version. Recently I was playing around with both of them back and forth (some other unrelated test I was doing) and realized the flight dynamics is in many way more "realistic" in FS9 compared to FSX. This seemed to be true in both the stock and payware addons. It is hard to exactly quantify but definitely there is a significant different to the way a stock/default Cessna flies in FSX compared to FS9. In terms of not only aerodynamics up in the air but also motion on the ground. The PMDG 747 for FS9 also flies more realistic than the FSX version and it almost seems like the FSX version is more fake/ watered down/ archade-ish.... I remember reading some articles/forums on here a while back when PMDG admitted that for their FS9 747 port to FSX that the 747 FSX flight dynamics had to get significantly tweaked to become "real" again compared to the FS9 version, but when I did a forum search nothing came up so I can't reference that article... Does anyone else realize this or has everyone just forgotten FS9 already? Will this trend continue into Flight 2012? What if eventually for business reasons PMDG is compelled to switch over to the FLIGHT 2012 platform and all the addons just become faker and faker in terms of actual flight dynamics and realism? Could the handicapps and flight dynamics limitations of FSX be the reason the PMDG737NGX has such a messed up flight dynamics on landing and approach? Maybe the 737NG (new) would be more real had it been coded in FS9?
October 23, 201114 yr How do you think the flight dynamics are diffrent? Howmany 737 flyinghours do you have, or how else do you know that FSX is worse than FS9? Maybe it is the other way round?BTW: Actually it looks like FLIGHT will only be based on Hawaii. So I think there won't be much addons that soon. John Rubens

October 23, 201114 yr Why are people so silly with regards to FLIGHT? Why on God's green Earth would they make Flight Simulator's successor Hawaii only? When you paint a picture, if you were that way inclined, do you paint the whole thing in full detail straight away? No. Don't be so stupid. You focus on one area at a time, then move onto the next.Like previous versions, Hawaii will merely be a high detail scenery area. Andrew McCluskey

Good luck with that. Paul Smith.
October 24, 201114 yr And no data to support the claim... Well... I can't always support an aircraft in flight sim "feeling" right. For instance a certain add on 172 that feels like the old 172N model I did my instrument training in.All the same. Yeah.
