You should not confuse and pretend a virtual matrix to equal real Life in all the existing attributes that apply out there.

Why not? Computational Power limits and mouse/joystick usability limits.

A virtual aircraft can be defined as "study level" but Is not "alive" It Is the Matrix of the simulator that needs to be "Active" and be able to read the aircraft attributes properly and make you fly or not.

In a simulator, You may hit a Bird with the windshield and nothing Will happen because It Is not interesting and recreating this consume computational Power.

So, expect realistic aircrafts in this game and a great Matrix. That's all.

I'm usually a silent observer here, but I just want to point out that from my vantage point it seems you might have taken Thomasso's use of the word "alive" to mean something he didn't fully intend it to mean.

I think he was referring to a common theme with some study level sims to simulate the ambient heat of the light bulbs changing the temperature readings, or a bank changing the fuel reading, or the cabin temperature changing the amount of milliseconds it takes the FMC to start up.

I believe he was referring to this heightened, almost unnecessary level of simulation as making it feel "alive," and certainly not saying it is a 1:1 simulation of reality.

I think what @Thomasso means by being alive is that actions like flicking a switch either on or off, has a consequence, which result in a virtual life or death scenario, anyhow I've linked him so he can explain explain it in his terms. I sort of know what he means but it's fairly hard to put it into words, after all what does actually alive mean in a deep way?

I expect default aircraft to be very complete in terms of buttons and reactions, i dont see the point of being doubtful on this After all the technology and innovación shown in this gane.

Yes, exactly. It is not unnecessary for me 🙂
