It's perfectly fine for most things, but _really_ bad with things that could actually kill you.
Meanwhile, in X-Plane land: https://developer.x-plane.com/2022/02/x-plane-12-flight-model-update-supersonic-transition-delta-wings-and-mass-properties/ https://developer.x-plane.com/2022/02/x-plane-12-flight-mode...

- mrguyorama 4y ago"The flight model" is kind of inaccurate when it comes to MSFS. They've always used a system that allows the aircraft developer significant authority to make their aircraft as simulated or gamified as they want. IE, a pmdg boeing will be hugely better simulated than the built in boeing.
- asciimike 4y agoThis is true in X-Plane as well though, right? I would kinda expect a better default Cessna model, though I admit that most people probably aren't going to either flight sim for lots of time in a Cessna (though I'd actually be really curious to know what % of planes are flown what what amount of time).
