That's a cool looking module but where's this flight sim that could compete with MSFS?🤣

I thought that P3D was on sale 😂

Only two have academic and training credentialing. Xplane and Prepar3d. As long as MSF S is marketed as entertainment and has stability issues it will never recieve that or be used in the real-world aviation field.

Entertainment versions only? I wouldn't be surprised if there are un-advertised specialized versions of these platforms for planes and maps for countries unknown to the general public.

That AH-64D looks fantastic, but oh my word DCS modules have become expensive!

I think it is time for a new entrant in the realistic jet combat sim genre, to create some competition,

Absolute stability is the one thing the professional community demands essential followed by flight dynamics. 

MSFS isn't there yet and it might be awhile. Perhaps running on locally cached scenery.

Yes, the MSFS that the general public know isn't there yet.

The flight dynamics need work also. Xplane is way ahead. So is A2A on P3D.

I know this is getting way off topic, but can't resist responding. Wish MSFS can get rid of that head anticipation thing, where the aircraft rolls independently of the screen. It is especially pronounced in the maneuverable aircraft where (cockpit view) the aircraft rolls around crazy while the screen only rolls slowly - I feel totally disconnected from the aircraft when that happens. They should make that optional, like the guys did with ChasePlane.

Isn't that what's described as DHM or Dynamic Head Movement (I believe that's what it is called in EZCA and in OpusFSI)? It's supposed to simulate how the head moves when the plane rolls in real life. There's probably an optional setting to disable that feature. I don't have MSFS running now so I can't check but perhaps it  is in one of the settings in the easier modes available in MSFS ie. not the True-To-Life one.

I just love the way A2A aircraft fly and the simulation depth. The Skylane is a ringer for the one I take lessons in for both performance, engine parameters, and handling.

I wouldn't be surprised to see MS-Combat Simulator make a return in the next few years.

OMG could you imagine?

Flying those campaigns with this new MSFS engine😍

They better just get the civil version stabilized before thinking about 350 knot dog fights or Mach 1.5 fox 3 engagements.
