alpha testers are becoming more vocal

With all the resources they have available, they could probably literally run the flight model through a supercomputer to get the proper parameters for a given aircraft.......

Very true, although I don't know if they're actually doing that. I think they're tuning them with test flights and pilot feedback? In any case most 3rd party designers won't have access to supercomputers, so ideally it should be easily tunable by them as well. The real time flight model editor that's been previously hinted at, is promising. Sounds like a very good idea, that XP always failed to implement.

 I'm very curious to see how this new MSFS flight model will be implemented and how flexible will it actually be.

 I'd be interested to have a feedback from pilots on the turbulent landing in the bilibili Sedona video.

Seems pretty realistic.  Here is a video of me flying a similar light plane in turbulent 30kts+ winds coming off the mountain range to the west for comparison.

Certain people have very very detailed ideas of just what comprises a "real" sim.

For me, if there isn't a drunk guy in first-class hitting on the flight attendant and threatening to sue the airline, it's just a game, not a sim.

I think I’d be puking all over the shop sitting in that...

I am not a pilot (2 hours only don't count) but my rides in the right seat of C172 and Twin Props were shaky.

But in case a video or screenshot will be relevant to this, I can give feedback about icing conditions in low visibility in mid winter / Canada during an IFR time building flight, while I was in the right seat of a twin prop and with an attitude indicator that decided to fail (because of the ice) and outside was immaculate white because of low visibility.

The pilot told me to look outside my right seat window and be sure the trees are still below 😬

I 'm sorry, but a C172 does not have Twin Props.

Then I don't know what a C172 is. I took it to mean Cessna 172?

It is not any C172, look at the Reg number 😛

I flew in the right seat of C172 and I also flew in the right seat of twin engines like the Piper PA-34 Seneca

Thank You!
