What do you find UNIQUE in MSFS?...

Featured Replies

Wonder what you all, fellow MFS simmers, find that really makes the difference, all other sims you used or still use, in MSFS 2020 ?

For me I'd list:

- Scenery detail allover the World !

- Default functionality of services at airports

- Default ATC and AI, even if these days I use FSHUD and FSLTL ( among my preferred addons EVER! for any sim I have used...)

- Default detailed aircraft - even with their quirks ...

- Unique integrated checklist system

Or did you mean positive things? 😁

1.server issues at peak times

2.a ctd when you go back to the main menu 

3. a jetty that connects to the L1 door on the 787

Uniquely bad maybe!

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Let me add to that:

Default ATC can‘t even do basic vectoring 😅

Very few CTDs compared to previous sims, performance is very good considering the jump in graphics and there is a huge freeware community with some real gems.

you all spend more time on avsim commenting about MSFS than you do "flying"  🤔

for now, cheers

Very simply, it feels the most like flying in the real world, not a ‘plausible’ world, or a world separated into high-quality but static patches with poor quality, even empty spaces between, but our world.

It may not excel in some areas, and in others it frustrates the pants off me, but on the whole, it offers the closest idea of what looking out of a cockpit is really like.

First time I’ve felt that in any sim, and I’ve tried them all (pretty much).

You mean sceney-wise?

Yes, it has nice graphics. 

Performance.

It makes my i5 7600k/GTX 980Ti combo look like a supercomputer.

Not really @Fiorentini, for default way better for instance than XP12 or P3D...

Global scenery detail which leads to a true sense of immersion like you are really there... 

Simplicity of Community Folder installs

Consistent development train and communication

Performance relative to detail (never had this level of detail with such good performance in any flight sim before)

DLSS

Uneven/sloping runways

watermasks

shadow detailing 

There is a lot they have done that has been done before that they have done better and there is a lot we have never seen that they are giving us for the first time like the global scenery details... 

Have a Wonderful Day

Horrible UI.

Long loading times where you forget what plane/airport you were going to fly from. 

Annoying "please insert disk".
