He's raised it before, as have others. It's worth remembering a couple of things here, though. 1) We were very aware of this going in and made it clear before the aircraft went on sale that we acknowledge this engine limitation - this is in part thanks to the observations by said alpha/beta team. 2) Leading on from point 1, if the investigation/fixing process is exhausted using the conventional methods, as we did during the alpha/beta process - you need to start digging out the "creative" solutions. Which leads us to the external engine model. The thing with something like this, however, is there's a lead time - and a significant one. So not something we can turn around in a week or two. The math/physics is painful. The integration is in untested waters, and the SDK won't help you. Additionally, with "creative" solutions, you tend to want to test them properly - because when these things break, it can be spectacular. So a creative, reliable solution, with little to no SDK support, multiplying the challenge straight off the bat. As if writing an external engine model weren't enough of a challenge by itself 😅 Aamir Thacker

But Fenix admitted frankly that the performance figures are not 100% correct. Why they could not fix that before the release, I don't know exactly. But I have very strong hopes that they do in due time. It is a bit strange to fly an almost perfect simulation, but not exactly on the real-life numbers.

June 10, 20223 yr It’s still in the early stages post-release and we’ve already had two updates. I’m sure more and more will improve as time goes on. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

May I ask what your background is in aviation?
June 10, 20223 yr Author Fenix made me recall those good old days of the Phoenix Airbus series - back in fs2002 times... ... The Phoenix Airbuses were my first jump into an interesting Airbus simulation in a desktop PC, long after the 1993 A320 Sim by Thalion 🙂 Edited June 10, 20223 yr by jcomm Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)

It is a bit strange to fly an almost perfect simulation, but not exactly on the real-life numbers. It basically came down to a case of significant diminishing returns. We got it as good as we could reasonably do so with the native engine physics in MSFS, and to go further or get it "just so" needed us to start ripping bits out of the sim to do the aforementioned external engine model. So, I made a call to cease work on the native engine physics and allocate these resources into developing the external engine model instead. Just part of working with a new sim platform, really.

Just out of curiosity, I know ASOBO has been "eager" to revamp the old FSX turbine physics. Has there been any talk that ASOBO might spare you the dev costs, by updating the native physics? I mean it would really suck to spend money to build an external engine, and then ASOBO comes out with realistic adverse yaw and turbine physics the day after. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

That's a fair and open statement, which I appreciate a lot. Thanks for that. My wish for you is that you get enough revenue to support further development and keep the plane up to date with the ever-changing MSFS platform. Actually, I find the plane quite enjoyable, and I am not a perfectionist at all. I only noticed the problems when I found the plane descending about 50% faster than it should with idle engines which destroyed my mental plan.

June 11, 20223 yr On yet another flight this morning in the A 320. I have about 25 trouble free flights with good FPS, this is the best Payware aircraft I have ever flown and I have been simming since the late 80's. 😀 Edited June 11, 20223 yr by Bobsk8
