The only addon I use on every flight on both XP and MSFS...no brainer to upgrade.

It adds so much to the immersion of any aircraft you fly.

Guys, for those who are using trackir. How the FSRealistic effect compete for the camera control of TrackIR. Is it weird of it feels right?

Track IR has no motion effects, so with or without track IR, should make no difference in what you see.

I never once said that. I bough the X-Plane version and was absolutely fine buying the MSFS version. The point is that some of us had understood when buying it that the rather simple shake effects would be added at no additional cost once the SDK was updated. They were only temporarily excluded because of the MSFS SDK at the time, and were already a part of the standard addon in X-Plane since years. We didn't see their addition being sold as worthy of an entirely new paid for version. I remember reading something like that at the time that an update would be provided when the SDK allowed. 

I really can't stand the all or nothing take on things that some people on here have. Stop putting words in people's mouths. Enough with the 'what aboutism'. If we have a point of view that's different than yours maybe accept it graciously instead of exaggerating the point of view of others likes it's invalid just because it is not your own.

If it is so simple, why don't you modify the base package so it has motion effects.?

1) it was already mentioned since last year there will be an upgrade to pro once they release the pro version . You didnt read it, sorry but it is your problem. 

2) you are really making some useless argument for something that is even cheaper than two bottles of beers. Why the fuss? 

Actually one bottle of really good beer....😉

Is head anticipation likely to come to this at some point or is that down to Asobo to provide access to the head camera or similar? This was one of the features I loved the most about XPRealistic.

The head anticipation is when you bank the aircraft in one direction, the view is moved a little in that directly and compensates a little to be more level with the horizon instead of being locked square with the aircraft.

I liked that feature in Ezdok!

I'm enjoying this product upgrade very much, and it is a significant improvement over the initial release.

I can't believe that some of the people here won't blink at buying an airport, that they might land at two or three times for $20+ dollars yet will balk at paying $5.95 for something that they will use on every flight. How cheap can you get.

Those complaining about the price can use the upgrade fee for a drink and sandwich at the local shop - everyone's happy!

Now if it were never the case that it was to be a 'free' update, the developer should have written that in bold next to the buy button so then there would have been no confusion or frustration.

Good job we are all different - I saw how cheap the upgrade was and punched the air while cheering.

and to start charging for such basic updates that should have been there since the beginning is frankly ridiculous.

It was impossible to include these new effects at the beginning due to SDK limitations.

I recall understanding that from the product page as well as the paid promotional review videos

nor me and even though I would not fly the F18 in MSFS your straped into the seat so well you would never see what that vidio showed. Laughable really.

I think FSRealistic is a good attempt at replacing the senses you lose by being motionless in your chair in front of a monitor. 

In the real aircraft your head will move in response to motion and you will feel the aircraft deviating through your body senses. Hit some turbulence in a real aircraft and you will feel the aircraft respond, you don't have to rely on sight alone to understand what is happening. As your chair and head can't move, FSRealistic moves the cockpit a little in the opposite direction to what your head would in the real cockpit.  I think this is a good attempt to replace the movement you would detect in the real aircraft - it can only be a good thing to add sensory input to enhance the flight experience.

In Sim racing you can't feel the cars movement through a fixed chair, so many simulated effects were fed through the force feedback steering wheel to give sensory feedback that are actually felt through the seat of your pants in the real car - not realistic you may say, but your mind soon accepts the feedback through the hands.

Remember that all FSRealistic effects can be adjust to personal taste.

 

I've been using V1 since it's release mainly for the added audio but the makeshift camera movement solution was definitely not great. Can't wait to get home and give V2 a whirl tonight. Based on Q8's video it looks night and day better.
