June 27, 20241 yr One I surely hope get's a fix in MSFS 2024, is the very problematic alignment of runway precision approach lighting systems and ILSs... as mentioned in the bellow linked portion of one of the latest BlackBox 711 videos... https://youtu.be/MM_aLyIjb48?t=4682 Another one is the inability to properly set realistic low visibility distances, although I did hear Sebastian mentioning they're aware of it - maybe it'll get addressed before the release of MSFS 2024... Yet, and very honestly, this one appears to be very acceptably overcome using their aerosol density approach, and when using for instance ASFS I do get rather "precise" representations... well, at least for my eyes 🙂 Edited June 27, 20241 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)

You're thinking way too much about XP @jarmstro instead of focusing in MSFS 2020 and all of it's nice aspects, some of them second to none, like scenery, cockpit graphics, default / free systems, functionality... Please enjoy MSFS 2020 for what it has to offer - forget XP...

Regarding inertia, I have my own opinion, and while I do find some aircraft reacting like paper aircraft in MSFS 2020, OTOH I find most aircraft in XP exhibit overdone inertia effects sometimes reminding me of when higher than realistic moments of inertia were used in some FSX addons, or in previous versions of XP where due to the torque bug, some authors opted for overdone radii of gyration values... Most of the time and while not on ground I find the airliners in MSFS 2020 behave in a way I would expect to be realistic. But if a real world airline pilot says so, I have to accept - for sure he knows better than me, unless probably it's gliders we're talking about... LATE EDIT: Found it !!!

He had a strong opinion on MSFS overall as realistic flight simulation being serious simulator but what I don't understand is why he still uses it more often than the competition.

He is just trying to call out certain developers of a certain sim/game and trying to influence his audience on what sim to use or not to use for realism (he doesn't claim that) but we know he does. He is calling MSFS pretty and nothing more.

MSFS PMDG 777-300ER | Paine Field/KPAE to San Francisco/KSFO | PilotEdge (youtube.com) Dang. Until that post I was enjoying reading ONE SINGLE thread in the msfs 2020 forum that was NOT about a different sim not even out yet and /or an addon plane that has its own forum elsewhere that nobody uses. You sneaked that link in under my minimums! 😳 Russell Gough SE London
June 27, 20241 yr Blackbox711 always does seem to want to keep pushing his talking point about inertia :), I don't hear this from other equally or more experienced IRL pilots who also review various aircraft for various sims (i.e. V1 Simulations, 320 Sim Pilot, Into the Blue, A330 Driver, etc). BB711 also naively keeps talking about the singular MSFS flight model when there is no such thing. There is the sim's flight dynamics engine and toolkit upon which aircraft devs build and refine the FMs for their particular aircraft. And that there is the key, the quality of the FM for any aircraft all come downs to the aircraft developer how they have built and refined it. Re: inertia, I certainly don't see any issues in big birds like the ini A300 and the like I own (and ground handling for the ini A300 is so good now given how they have implemented the new SU15 ground physics, so the inertia for on-the-ground movements are also well modelled now). Reviews of the PMDG 777 so far by IRL pilots also have explicitly commented about its inertia and heft, and how it feels like a big heavy should.

He is calling MSFS pretty and nothing more. I think he uses it because he likes it visually (fact), because of the addons available and because he enjoys it. And I agree with him!
