Flight Simulator?

  • Precisely right. Knowing the aircraft, airport, ie. wx, pressure altitude, ground effect, spoiler efficiencies if equipped, sink rate at throttle approaching idle etc & so much more in the realm of airmanship. To me that seems well duplicated in AF2 with aircraft types I've flown. Next most important factor - frame rate. So having flown XP, AF and real for years, AF2 feels more like reality not even considering the huge VR frame rate advantage in AF2. Realistic SIDs & STARSs, traffic, ATC, dynamic wx etc & just maybe there'd be no question as to which is maximum reality.

    I know there isn’t that much drag. I even researched on YouTube if people had to same problem and people did. My favorite YouTuber Jeff favignano even said it had too much drag and he’s been playing X-Plane 11 for years and now MCFS.

  • Constructive critic? I don't think so. It help nothing.

    I have 2400 hrs in the real world and a lot on twin-pistons engine (A lot on the Cougar GA-7), FS2 is as good as other payware airplane on others platform as for light airplane. And they all included for FREE. And no real tweaking for high FPS and smooth flight.

    My only real hope for AF2 is a better weather engine, period.

    Is he a widely experienced highly qualified pilot/qualified aero engineer or another armchair expert? I rate Aero above Xplane, the people behind it blow their own trumpet too much.

    I just did the practice forced landing scenario in the 172 and got an average 7.51 to 1 glide ratio from about 2,000 feet. That looks spot on for a typical light aircraft to me. A company test pilot in ideal conditions in a new clean dent free plane in calm air holding a rock steady course at the exact best glide speed could more in real life over several attempts.

    X-plane, that explains it lol

  • The mobile section has some seriously inappropriate destructively negative clueless nonsense going on now. It doesn't seek sim or hardware assistance, offer constructive reports on sim flaws or highlight relevant happenings in real world aviation.

    Perhaps there could be an underage section?
