Did you miss my statement that I think MSFS is a great simulator and I use it?

Why is is that so many XPlane-devotees constantly have to show up here and tell us how Xplane is superior to MSFS, this and that, and so on?

It's, like, I'm sitting in a restaurant enjoying my sirloin steak, when someone comes over and tells me, that I should eat his dish instead.

Sorry, pal, this sirloin is working quite nicely for me.

Ya gotta think the dude secretly wants your sirloin.

Too funny.😏

Absolutely agree with you.  Also, one thing I dislike is people that criticize MSFS but don't have all the information. For example, people were criticizing the SDK of MSFS for not having all the features and tools for 3rd party developers to make high fidelity planes.  This information was corrected by the Working Title team and the FBW team, who shared with us that the SDK is comprehensive, provided 3rd party developers were willing to use HTML & Javascript, rather than do everything with C++. We are still correcting this misconception to this very day because a lot of misinformed people think the SDK isn't comprehensive enough for high fidelity planes.

Now the next misconception we have to correct is the flight model for MSFS, just like we have to correct the misconception of the MSFS SDK 😄

You just don't get it hey ? 

You come here to talk about MFS, not XP that is it. Easy to understand. MFS. Not XP. Repeat after me.

Share your experience with MFS, share your critics, share your suggestions. MFS is far from being perfect. This forum has a few f*nboys of its own and some robust views on MFS are welcome 

You think that the MFS flight model could be better ? It is pretty good but you are right it could be better and you are welcome to explain why. No need to repeat ad nauseam that XP is better. It is tiresome.

Let me explain why I thought a MS combat sim would be neat 🙂 

I bought and tried IL2 products - and as you fly you dont feel like your flying like in flightsimulator - you feel like your in slow motion or something - its strange and annoying - ALL SET

As for DCS I never tried it - that said if I remember correctly the MS combat sim felt like flying similar to a flight simulator - carry on 🙂 

 

Maybe download War Thunder and play around with the aircraft,  since it's free.    It has arcade,  "realistic",  and sim modes.  It's not as hard core as DCS,   but I enjoy the variety of aircraft.   The ground battles mode also incorporates planes,  and later on helos.

The Russian PE-8 bomber and it's 5 ton bomb are particularly fun,  to the point of feeling a bit dirty.
