> > Maneuvering is laughably easy — and not because the aircraft handles nicely. It’s easy because the aircraft feels like it has no inertia. Yes, the real plane is very maneuverable and responsive, but there’s a “weight” to direction changes which is completely missing. In FS2020, you can instantly pull 60 degree or more turns, and exit them just as quickly. In XP11, there’s a residual tendency to turn that you have to arrest when exiting a maneuver.
Uh...what?
Has this person actually played MSFS2020? Because planes definitely have inertia in MSFS2020. You can definitely feel it in the large planes like the A320. If I push the stick hard to the left, the banking begins slowly. And if I then stick right just as suddenly and hard, it keeps banking left for a couple seconds from the rolling inertia.
Even the super-agile Extra 300S has inertia. Doing fast aileron rolls and then trying to revert to straight-and-level flight is tough, as it really wants to keep spinning.
