You can’t feel what the car is doing, you can’t feel your inputs you can hear and feel the engine, drive train or transmission. I suppose some of the full motion set ups come close but the price is insane lol.īe it cars, planes or whatever a PC is not going to come close to replicating the real experience. Yes, I have never used any simulator that was at all like the real thing. That’s just a gimmick anyway, the real business is the flight model. Some bugs in a G1000 however really don’t matter. I’m really excited when I think about the future of MSFS. Regardless of some UI flaws or bugs that are there in the default 1$-airplanes. In my opinion MSFS offers the best flight physics ever by far and while the default airplanes are there so we have something to play with until the 3rd party developers are ready, we can certainly expect incredible flight models from our developers. Xplane for example tries to replicate the feel of a moving airplane but it still lacks a lot, it’s good, but far from perfect.

Air and flight are just way too dynamic to put it in code. PMDG, FSLabs and several other developers have really done a marvelous job with their renditions of an airplane but none of them really REPLICATE an airplane. A2A’s accusim for example recreates very well what the airplanes do and how they react and they use a simulator (P3D) whose own flight dynamic model seems more like a train on rails. I’m a private pilot who has flown about 20 different types, some more some less, and I hold a CPL and fly a 5.8 tons turboprop as a side job… anyway, the real flight experience and the experience with “professional” flight simulators have shown us that NO flight simulator, regardless of the appearance or intention comes even close to a real flying aircraft.
