July 28, 2025Jul 28 So, X-Plane can be used for entertainment (most of us do it), but as it is FAA certified (Pro version) you also can log hours for real flight training - that's basically no new news 😉. But no only: furthermore it can (and is) used by universities, Airbus, NASA, ...

WHAT???? Only 92%??? That's really bad. Universities are pretty satisfied with such low results?? Home users of (some 😉) "so called" 😄 flight simulators expect minimum 99.x% accuracy and they get it ... (NOT). At least they think, they get it, due to some (admittedly) clever marketing tricks (i.e. photogrammetry, warm scenery colors, clear view until the horizon, ..., you name it).

A customer wanted to return his aircraft because it wasn't realistic enough. When asked for the exact reason, he stated that he had made a flight from A to B and had flown exactly the same route as a real flight (tracked on flightradar24), but had arrived 5 minutes later.

Wow, and I already felt bad refunding an aircraft because it cut my FPS in half without a chance for relief... 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days

THAT is a really good reason, but to judge a 5-minute delay as ‘indisputable’ in view of the numerous parameters that play a role in such a flight says a lot about the (non-existent) technical understanding of that mentioned guy.
