Maybe have a look at X-plane, or even flightgear. MS flight simulator has always been more on the arcade side of the flight simulation. https://www.x-plane.com

- eternalny1 7y agoNot this time around, they have an entire video on the aerodynamics work, it's beyond impressive and beyond X-Plane's "blade element theory". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw-opH4f8Qg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw-opH4f8Qg
- MayeulC 7y agoThank you, this is honestly really impressive! However, I must note that the aerodynamic simulation shown at https://youtu.be/Bw-opH4f8Qg?t=405 https://youtu.be/Bw-opH4f8Qg?t=405 seems quite close to Xplane's :)
- garaetjjte 7y agoI agree that X-Plane is now better, but I wouldn't say that MSFS were arcade. I don't think they made physics deliberately less unrealistic. FSX engine was sold to Lockheed Martin, which continues development of it as Prepar3D.
