August 13, 20205 yr I remember the first time I sat down in a Level-D simulator (Southwest 737-700). I could hardly believe the way the outside world looked. Sort of like a twilight scene from FS3. How in the world can real-world pilots train in anything that won't let them see their house I thought? Good heavens. (I shudder to think about the Link trainer days.) I figured that must just be some sort of simulator that is used only by a low-cost airline. And then I sat down in a 747-400 Level-D at United. Wow, it was soooooo much better. Instead of some lousy twilight scene that looked like something from FS3 I had a beautiful early morning scene that looked just like FS5. So, I'm flying United from now on because their pilots train in the daylight. United knows that flight simulation is all about what you can see, and not so much about all that other technical stuff...........Doug Edited August 13, 20205 yr by W2DR Kant spel Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.

They would be happy with FS98 graphics (or equivalent) as long as they have that perfect flight model XP has..

August 13, 20205 yr This argument that XP11 has a better flight model than MSFS is unproven at this time. It's the hope XP11 word not allowed are holding on too because everything has been obliterated. IT won't take long before the first 3rd party aircraft comes us and just blow the myth away for good. https://fsprocedures.com Your home for all flight simulator related checklist.

If anyone wants to compare the flight models of XPlane, P3D and MS Flight, and see if that XPlane claim holds any water, check this video of mine out from timestamp 22:30 onward, where I compare three of the same aeroplane type (Boeing Stearman), in those three sims: Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
