December 23, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Ron Attwood said: My head, my head. 🤣 So is there a preferred method in ~24? Legacy or Modern, Modern or Legacy or is it irrelevant? See above Ron. It's not a good thing to fly "modern" flight modelled sim aircraft with "legacy" switched on, and the same goes the other way round. If the aircraft was designed with the legacy system then it's better to fly it with the legacy system switched on. And vice versa.

December 23, 20241 yr Robert and others might be talking past each other.. I'm assuming what Farlis, Claudius_ etc are saying is that if the user sets the in-sim option to use legacy FM then a lot of aircraft that don't use the legacy mode will get all wonky, as expected. What Robert is saying that is that a lot of the same things can be achieved whether the aircraft FM itself is constructed via the legacy methods or newer methods. On a side note, there's also the CFD aspect (https://docs.flightsimulator.com/msfs2024/html/2_DevMode/SimObject_Editor/Debug/Debug_Aircraft_CFD.htm?rhhlterm=cfd&rhsearch=cfd) which is optional to the "base" modern FM, AFAIK.. so with MSFS it's like there are three ways to do FMs in-sim: legacy, modern, modern + CFD. In any case, various tools and methods for aircraft devs to choose from.

December 23, 20241 yr Something just occurred to me. How do you get to find out which planes use which flight models? The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA

December 24, 20241 yr 5 hours ago, Ron Attwood said: Something just occurred to me. How do you get to find out which planes use which flight models? Most devs will (or should) tell you which method they used so which one to enable. It's quite rare for anyone to use Legacy so the vast majority of addons or mods use modern.

December 24, 20241 yr Thank you Robert and everyone for what was a helpful discussion; I understand much better now. MSFS 2024. Primary Planes: Black Square TBM850, Duke, Baron, Caravan; A2A Comanche; FSReborn Phenom; Fexix A321; PMDG 737-7, 777: Utilities: Active Sky (Passive Mode); BATC, FSLTL.
December 24, 20241 yr Have to say, I never considered that any addon aircraft might be using Legacy and have always left the sim set to use modern Im not convinced that any addon devs would use Legacy 🫤 (ok now I consider it, maybe Captain sim or MS Scenery❓, but its not like I'll ever be buying that stuff)
