    Flight simmer since ‘87.
  1. FWIW here are my settings for the rudder: Joystick L - Axis Z Sensitivity 50% Dead Zone 4% Hope that helps.
  2. Short version: X-Plane will be fine. For many of us, flight dynamics rules the day. FS2020 is the shiny new toy and lots of people are checking it out. Many (most?) of the folks who have never bought a flight sim are interested due to the photorealistic scenery, which is quite the achievement even with the (to be expected) anomalies. Watching YouTube the past couple of weeks showed the expected dichotomy between “game-play” and “flying the sim” in the titles of the videos. I spent a dollar for the first month of game-pass for the PC. If FS2020 makes it out of public beta by the end of that time, I may buy the basic version. I installed it Monday overnight and it has crashed every day this week. On Wednesday I even experienced a BSOD. Yesterday (Friday) did much better. I completed 3 flights and it finally crashed in the the fourth. Total time in the sim was about 4 hours, all in the C172. I find it useful to start FS, let it it update, then reboot the pc before running FS for real. When it is flying there are lots of minor annoyances. Many settings aren’t sticky; tail number, and such. My biggest complaint about the G1000 is not having VNav. MFS will succeed due to the gameplay; activities, challenges, badges and the like. (Plus, of course, the scenery.) XP won’t go away due to the flight dynamics. Don’t forget, the pro version of XP is certified by the FAA for flight instruction. Just my 2 cents. Cheers p.s. I’ve been flight simming since the SubLogic days.
