Nice Vid of progress from the X-Plane/BETA flight tests

But, but...wouldn´t the scenery look much nicer if they used MSFS??

It'd be smoother if they used Vulkan, I see a ton of last gen stutters in there.

You guys keep talking about trolls bringing up MSFS in this forum, but nearly every time it’s you guys that bring it up first.

Still, at least you’re not spouting “ugly fat chicks” or some other misogynist horror this time...

The only horror is the P.C. we're living in these days.

OT: Please Janov, why do you always have to bring it to a comparison with another sim?
I see this behaviour here in Avsim but also over at the org where the MSFS thread has you (and mSparks) as the top posters.

The 737 (aka FLUF) has nothing to do with this.

Shouldn´t you guys be flying circles over your house instead? 😂

I'll bite.😀 (Well some ones got to?) At least we can find our house.😂

I am not a pilot but would be interested to know how it is possible to visually navigate VFR without radio assistance unless the scenery below represents the real world? Don't you need all the roads, woods and rivers etc in the right place?  Or do you just guess?

Dang, only one guy bit? 😥

Sorry, Tonywob, this is too much fun sometimes... 😉

Yes, John, it is absolutely vital that the scenery below looks exactly like it does in the real world. Don´t let anyone tell you otherwise.

That is why every VFR pilot must be absolutely familiar with the terrain he intends to fly over. It is not allowed to fly over terrain they don´t know, but I think they have a waiver coming for that if you familiarize yourself with MSFS.

In X-Plane it is absolutely impossible to fly from Heathrow to the Birmingham using visual navigation only, for example, because all the houses look the same and the M1 could just be any motorway!

Oh God. I just knew my daughter in-law was a little minx. When she flew me from Norwich to Exeter she conned me into believing she was looking out for features in the landscape. And how stupid I was to believe her. I knew she was telling porkies because when I tried it in X-Plane there was nothing to see or recognise and her lies were exposed.😂

Eat your heart out Jan.😂 This time tomorrow there will be no contest with regard to GB VFR. I really do hope LR step up to the plate though in all seriousness.

Yes I am sure MSFS is perfect and all the houses are the right colour shape height and at the exact cordinates, what was mentioned few days ago about a 2 story being a 20 story block of flats or something. Why do people love to just argue, but as I said before thats teh world today. Demanding. Nothing is ever good enough and they can always do better, but rather complain than do anything to help.
