Pilot here. The MSFS flight model is so bad that I found it actually counterproductive. Also, the avionics are awful, they basically have a dozen of the most basic functions and that's about it. It's more like a game, not a sim. And yet, I do find myself using it still. Why? The graphics are insane. If I'm doing a flight to somewhere new, I like doing a simulated flight first in order to get a better understanding of the terrain and more importantly, layout of the arrival airport and visual cues. I still find it very useful for flight planning in that regard.
- walrus01 4y agoThe MSFS flight model is so terribly bad that people have 'successfully' landed absurdly too-large craft from 757 all the way up to Antonov-225 size at Saba and also taken off from the same airfield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juancho_E._Yrausquin_Airport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juancho_E._Yrausquin_Airport
- wpine215 4y agoYour mistake is using default aircraft - most consumer simulators will have poor renditions of aircraft that ship with the base game, mainly because the majority of development time is spent on core mechanics and the game engine. Download some high quality 3rd party aircraft and it’ll change your mind.
