And the 737NG debacle is just starting to unfold...

And you honestly believe that with almost zero experience in a flimsy 152 you know how e.g. a Dash8 or a 767 handles on approach?

@killthespam FYI, startup spool up is only realistic in Alabeo/Carenado turboprops since they have been specifically designed for P3D. A few older ones have been 'retro-fitted'

Reading your above statement makes me wonder why on earth did you buy the C90B nevertheless?

Forget the FBW toys, I'm talking about 'real' aicraft like the A-10, Su-25 and the F-5. Btw, it would be great if MSFS would simulate tire failures like DCS! Still flying the DCS F-5 by far the most. VOR approaches in bad weather with a low ceiling are presently the most realistic 'flying' experience in any sim IMHO.

You don't consider DCS more realistic concerning xwnd and turbulence?

I always thought that the closer to RL a flying game is, the more it can be considered a simulator.

If the wind/turbulence IRL would be as exaggerated as in XP11, I wouldn' t be flying IRL!

I don't know how much RW experience you have and in which types of aircraft, but if you are convinced that there are no perfectly stable aircraft, I don't think that it makes much sense trying to tell you that this is incorrect. Since I'm curious, what are the factors in calm air that are causing the instability?

@Matthew Kane thanx for the detailed info 🙂

Why is that?

Nope. If you fly e.g. an ILS approach over (usually) flat terrain during winter, the air can be totally, 100% smooth. Very nice to fly especially at high visibility over a snow covered landscape, very FSX/P3D like 😉 It always happens to me when I'm flying x-plane for a while and I enjoy the instability, that when switching back to P3D I'm thinking, now that's much more stable and realistic. As mentioned before, if it's DCS like it, kind of a mix between x-plane and FSX/P3D, it should be a great flying experience.

+1 Furthermore I've read already numerous times that RW tend to get nauseous more easily with VR because the missing feeling/sensation of motion isn't matching the visuals. I've noticed that in Level-D sims when the motion failed and we tried to continue the session without motion. If you stay on instruments, its less of a problem, but once you start looking outside and start maneuvering, things get ugly fast.

Although the shutdown works twith this crutch, it's unfortunate that you can't shutdown or start the engines in a realistic way 😞

Since the the EMB120 doesn't have separate propeller and condition levers, Carenado tied both together. (The condition lever tooltip says 'prop rpm') You have to use the key command for 'reduce prop RPM' to shut down the engines.

Figured out how to shut down the engines. Since the the EMB120 doesn't have separate propeller and condition levers, Carenado tied both together. (The condition lever tooltip says 'prop rpm') You have to use the key command for 'reduce prop RPM' to shut off the fuel flow. The (red) backstop lever actually exists and the tooltips are even stating engine on and off, but this lever doesn't have any effect. That said, with the present 'logic' it's impossible to start up and/or shut down the engine in a realistic way 😞

Don't have the EMB120 installed, but here is what the RW manual says: The Condition Lever controls the propeller speed and the fuel opening for the engine start. The following discrete condition lever positions are provided at the control stand: – MAX RPM (Maximum RPM); – MIN RPM (Minimum RPM); – FEATHER; – FUEL CUT OFF. A gate is provided at the MIN RPM position. To move the condition lever further backward, its backstop release levers must be pulled upward. A backstop is provided in FEATHER position: To move the condition lever further backward, the backstop release lever installed at the back of the condition lever must be pressed forward. Maybe there are additional controls?

How do you write down a clearance in VR?

You shouldn't compare an approach in calm weather with an approach in turbulence. E.g. once you are established on the ILS in e.g. a Dash8 in calm weather, you don't have to apply any corrections for a looong time. Btw, turbulence in x-plane isn't exactly realistic as it is greatly exaggerated and airplanes are generally too unstable. Take a look at jcomms wobbly 757 landing in the x-plane crosswind landing thread. If MSFS feels/handles like DCS I'll be happy 🙂

+1 👍

You are comparing apples and oranges. What's acceptable for you apparently isn't acceptable for others and vice versa.

That's basically nonsense...

?

I never wrote that, and I suggest to read again what I wrote; For VR you need a higher specs PC than without, nothing else.
