The retard call is only an ‘instruction’ during an autoland. The thrust levers can be closed whenever you like during a manual landing. On a 320/319 that’s often just as you start the flare, unless you have some big sink or something. On the 321 you do it a little later. At any Vapp you’ve got ages before you’d get anywhere near the stall or wing drop during the flare. You’d be dragging the tail along the ground before that happened.

For reference, that’s not at all how the real Airbus flies. MS have got it completely wrong.

Oh grow up, how pathetic can you be? I don't accept a broken full price product so I must tick off waiters and have my food spat in? Are you 12 years old? How stupid can you be? By all means grovel on your knees whilst Microsoft takes your cash to the bank - whilst being unable to present a product at a price that any other major publisher in the industry can offer.

Let me spell this out in rather big letters, as you seem to fundamentally struggle with who is taking payment and responsibility for your newly acquired software. Check the license agreement, check the store where it can be bought, check who you pay the money to, and check the name. MICROSOFT Flight Simulator.

Why the facepalm? Who are you giving money to? Asobo, or the biggest software company in the world? Who's taking your cash?

Is it called Asobo Flight Simulator?

You're objectively wrong, Bert. You're talking about the largest software company in the history of the planet, with a market cap (at approx $1 trillion) bigger than the next 10 biggest consumer software companies in the world combined. Last time I checked it was called Microsoft Flight Simulator, not Asobo flight simulator. As for 'full price' - that's normal price for every full fledged commercial release. You can look through my previous posts for my position on MSFS. I was one of its biggest supporters through development. But the handling of the release and subsequent patches has been perhaps the worst of ANY main platform game/simulator release I have seen in the last decade.

Because then they know that if they release sub-standard, faulty products they won't have people like you defending them for it - frankly. This is not some small independent developer getting to grips with a new programming language, releasing cheap products. This is a multinational business, with revenues greater than the GDP of Luxembourg and Croatia combined, charging full price for a commercial product release, and providing a fundamentally flawed product - actually introducing new flaws with every 'patch.' I'm not sure what you expect to change if your view is that every time they fail you just ignore it. If I were working at Microsoft, I'd be laughing my butt off at the fact that there have been several rushed and ineffectual patches to a broken product and there are people actually defending it. It's disgraceful. I mean can you imagine the meeting after the patch? Manager 1: So we've released the patch, how did it go? Manager 2: Really bad actually. We've not addressed lots of the issues from the initial release, and we've actually introduced more problems. Manager 1: So we're going to be punished by bad reviews, and lower incomes? Manager 2: No, they don't care and have no intentions to hold us to account. Manager 1: Any reason to try any harder? Manager 2: ....................

I don't think it's reasonable to give them benefit of the doubt at all. We're talking about updates to a full price Microsoft product, an update which causes significant and obvious bugs and issues. These aren't rare and insidious bugs, these are obvious and massive issues. I think things would be a lot better if we stopped giving them the benefit of the doubt.

That's akin to complaining that a car bodyshop paints the body before the engine shop has finished it's rebuild. It's irrelevant. The bodyshop can't build the engine because it's not their job and they don't know how, nor could the engine shop paint the car.

Quite happy to be banned if it means those who constantly throw insults at people who give their time and efforts to produce free software for others to enjoy are held to account. Check his post history. It's pretty much all he does. Plus, I've not ground any axe. He's unhappy with a product so I've suggested he apply for a refund. Seems eminently sensible.

Perhaps you should get a refund.

Would you like some cheese with your whine?

Sounds like that’s really triggered you.

Then go and make your own, rather than whining about someone’s first attempt at a free scenery.

In level D simulators, when you have a crash, the screen flashes red/black and freezes. We also don’t practise ditching (would do the checklist but not land on water) nor do we practise gear up landings etc. Completely pointless. The only people who want damage simulation - for some odd reason - is flight simmers.

It's largely because they only watch content in 30fps. They'll watch a 60fps video in 30fps then moan that it doesn't look any different. It's like watching a 1080p video on a 640x360 screen then complaining that fuLL hD DoEsN't EveN MakE a DiFfeReNcE!?

Also of note is that the detractors from higher frame rates are usually just clueless. They watch videos demonstrating 60fps in 30fps then whine because they can't see a different. Well obviously - you're watching it in 30fps. Higher frame rates are immediately obvious and beneficial to anyone who sees them.

What does it say if you actually read it?

I don't see why this is a continuing issue for you guys? I don't see anything egregious or even problematic at all. Does Avsim have some horrendous text/data bug or something? Text takes up next to no data whatsoever. And we're in a forum for a flight simulator which constantly downloads large amounts of data. I feel like I'm missing something.

Because it's much better in every way. The days of 'your eye can only see 30fps' or whatever garbage have long gone, and has been proven to be completely incorrect.

Alpha floor should be inhibited at a certain height. Something like 100ra? Anyway, are you closing the thrust levers to land? It’s not like the Boeing where they automatically close. Note: not flown either of the big jets in MSFS so don’t know what is accurate.

I think Xplane is on the right in this video;

Except it's the complete opposite.

Your loss!
