Try Legacy for Helicopters and Modern for Fixed wing....

Modern, nothing else.

Why? 🤔

@aeronauta mentioned LEGACY for helos.

I believe he's referring to the pre-SU11 helicopters which weren't actually modelled as such, but now that MFS natively supports rotary wing, those new models should be run in MODERN mode.

I honestly don't know why LEGACY mode is still an option? Maybe it was thought for eventual ports from older versions that actually never took place?

MODERN is the way to go 🙂

Legacy was designed for aircraft from FSX and comprehensively breaks pretty much everything else.
In my own experience, for some time now, converted FSX aircraft have not worked in any case.

You should have a specific and documented reason to use something different than modern.

Nope modern too for helis.

Telling someone to use legacy is complete misinformation.  The reason for its original inclusion was given by @Reader above.  This mode should now be taken out of MSFS - it has caused so many problems for people.

Yes, I wish they would do this. I cannot see any reason for it to remain. Is anyone really importing aircraft from default FSX to fly?

Check out this video which details these questions - you will end up with the Modern

Spend any amount of time in multiplayer online mode and you'd know the answer to that😉

At least move the function to the developer menu. That's where it should have been from the beginning but certainly now.
