October 28, 20223 yr That's so cool. Great work by the many teams involved. 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.
October 28, 20223 yr That was very interesting, especially the bits about the flight model. I have no clue how gliders work (beyond the obvious) so I look forward to learning a lot more once this update is released
October 28, 20223 yr This is the "real deal". I don't want anyone saying MSFS is for gamers (because it's on Xbox?), isn't a real simulation, is best for "visual flight" only, etc. Watch that video. That shows what the team behind it is working on and that is just for gliders.
October 28, 20223 yr Nice video! SU 11 will be another huge leap in technology for MSFS, with the new thermals and the new 20 KM CFD that surrounds the plane. And I think the 20 KM CFD surrounding the plane is something that hasn't been done in a home market flight simulator before. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM
October 28, 20223 yr That does look cool, I've never thought about flying gliders before but will definitely give them a go when released.

October 28, 20223 yr Cool! Winch launches! Did some gliding back in the 80's & the club I was flying at had a winch launch. Coming from power flying & being trained not to get the nose too high on take off the winch launch really gave me a shock at first. During take off you climbed out at about forty five degrees pitch up from memory & had to keep an eye on your speed so you could signal to the winch operator whether to increase or decrease speed by either waggling the wings or yawing the fuselage. Used to get the old adrenalin pumping that's for sure. Looking forward to this. Instrumentation looks far more advanced than what I was used to.

October 28, 20223 yr Cool! And based on my experience with toy gliders, I always thought they were launched by a giant elastic band! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

One of my favorite parts was the unexpected cable failure practice. During winching the instructor pulled the cable release to make sure you acted promptly and correct. Because we have a lot of barbed wire meadows in the Netherlands gliders were equipped with a thin tube framework mounted to the underside of the canopy to slice under the barbed wire in case of an off field landing. If you were a little to enthusiastic during that failed cable practice my instructor would hit his head against the framework. It made him curse loudly and compliment me with my prompt action.

It has no real aviation dangers, inaccurate instrumentation, limited weather settings, no failures other than the engine, etc. Nothing wrong, it just has a different focus.

Have you seen the failures available in the mcdu on the Fenix? Or the instrumentation in a lot of high fidelity add ons? Limited weather settings? What 😂

What 😂 Visibility can't be set. Indicated altitude not affected by temperature. Artificial horizon not affected by unusual attitudes, etc. Also, icing does not seem to affect performance or sensors (pitot/static), no risk of aquaplaning or reduced friction on icy runways, no hypoxia if you forgot to set pressurization, failed engines don't need to be feathered, etc. "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".

OK it's a game. Have it your own way. But at least it's a good looking and enjoyable modern game and not just an out of date, tired and boring sim made for out of date, tired and boring people.🤣 Edited October 28, 20223 yr by jarmstro
