Normal player made a cool thing here

One cool video.  

 

Insane. That shot at 3:00 is especially crazy... flying through the visible rain cell. Wow.

Guess It's called a virga , I had no idea what that word even meant till I looked it up just now lol.  In meteorology, a virga is an observable streak or shaft of precipitation falling from a cloud that evaporates or sublimates before reaching the ground.

Cool indeed. I gotta be honest, it has been for me very very hard to go back to XP11 recently, apparently I care about the eye candy more than anything else 👀

It’s the limitations of the older sims that we took as normal that I’m noticing now. MSFS has so many good things as standard that you’d have to pay for in P3d like camera set up (ezdok). Just today I started the sim in the 172 cold and dark at Orcas (nice payware) for my first night flight and couldn’t see a thing. I remembered there was a shortcut for flash light and toggled it. Wow! Not only could you pan around and cast light and shadowing around the cockpit but it also lit up the external surroundings to a lesser effect. It’s these sort of small but significant improvements that make this the most immersive experience for me. You’d have to pay for this in P3d.

Exactly the same here. Although XP has the better flight models for now, I am more captured by the actual feeling of flight that MSFS delivers. And there are some decent models like the C152 or the Robin.

I was parked up at an airport in South America and there was a rain shift to the east of me. It was chucking it down over the city. I turned on the weather radar on the A320 and it showed up. I just sat there watching it - hoping it would come over the airport. Unfortunately it went off to the side but it felt so dynamic watching it grow bigger and change shape and drift by.

Yeah it's nuts seeing the real weather in game act the way it does. Just mind blowing

which monitor do you have?

God me have come a lonnnnnng  wayyy . 

Please remember folks.

Some people are actually complaining about this sim.  I guess the sim is not quite as "perfect" as they are.

For mine,  That video says it all.  The visuals and most of the flight modelling are just great and the 3PDs will fix the rest.

What a great life we are in for as far as "simming" is concerned

Thanks for that video SirDan

Yeah not to bad for live weather!

It certainly is far from making a compelling argument that it is going to be the best sim.

just more nonsense!!!

Tpete61,

Was that comment really, really necessary. 

You are entitled to your opinion ... BUT
