Eh. If that's what you need, that can be easily done with its APIs. The main issue would be if you wanted them to overlap the simulator window, but drawing those on a different monitor should be fine. Why do you need that exactly?
You can also get hardware and have real tactile buttons and screens at your fingertips.
Asobo is doing a great job, what are you on about? The older version flight models were never that great, you had to use a bunch of third party software. Microsoft has been spending a lot of resources in fine tuning their new model and comparing that with tracking data they are taking from real flights.
- DocTomoe 4y agoI would guess rameesh31 is an XPlane user. A friendly rivalry has existed for some time. As a MSFS pilot: Asobo does some questionable things when it comes to instruments. For example, their "Weather Radar" as existing in MSFS doesn't show precipitation (like weather radars in actual planes do), but cloud coverage and density - something completely useless to pilots. Apparently it's a limitation in Asobo's weather model.
- jonathanstrange 4y agoLet's not forget about the incorrect ATC terminology. To be fair, X-Plane's ATC was (and probably still is) even worse, it's just weird Asobo chose to deliberately include incorrect phrasing. Is it perhaps the idea to leave some room for 3rd party manufacturers?
