@Ttt Ggfc with the key binds “B” and “D” you can have the sim automatically set your altimeters barometric pressure, and your hsi/cdi gyroscopic precession. In reality you need to turn the knob on the altimeter to set to either known field elevation or metar data/atis. Analog gauges use a gyro to display your heading, pitch, angle and other items. Every 15 minutes or so you would need to realign the compass on the gauge to match the “whiskey”/magnetic compass to be accurate.

@@eldroopio What graphics card do you have? I just leave mine on DX11 and the Ultra preset. I think the biggest thing to do is not chase FPS and cap your FPS in your settings. The key is consistency. 30 FPS steady will feel much better than having 80-90 FPS while cruising and then having it dip to 30 on approach. Also, this will keep your temps lower so when the card/processor needs to work harder it is not already up against the limit and has some headroom. The other part I recommend is to not use DLSS or RSR as these will essentially make your resolution less to increase FPS. You will also get bad ghosting when your FPS drops. I can safely lock my fps around 60 for most areas, southern CA is harsh though and it will stutter if I leave it capped at 60. So I reduce it to 50 and that works out well.

I agree and want to make the jump to it but with all my physical panels it is hard to. I use my dials and switches physically and it won’t be possible in VR and I think I’ll knock over my beer when I am trying to change my com frequency 😂

Anyone using Pilot2atc in vr, ie: the aero? Seems that may be tricky.

I don't personally use VR but I do know some people use it. I think you have to use Windows Mixed Reality or similar (I think Steam has one) that allows you to make any desktop item into a VR window that is resizable.

From what I read you can still click on stuff in cockpit with the virtual window. But pilot2atc does don’t require you to open it in window to use and can use as normal. You might have some growing pains with the phrasing but it just needs to be loaded.

It's crazy what AI can do nowadays, yet you still get those robotic voices in this addon. What a shame. Hopefully that's gonna improve some day

You should look for some at some of the latest comparisons between this an X-Plane. With the new aerodynamics and weather MSFS comes out on top. This will greatly depend on what aircraft you are flying but for a sim, I would not call it arcade.

First thing first drop that carenado shit in the trash 😂

@sprocketsimulations

Жыл бұрын

Well Carenado isn’t the best for exact flight models or study level, they never aim to be and are not that bad. They are also priced accordingly for some being as little as $15usd. They are a lot better than what they used to be and getting better all the time. Sure they aren’t PMDG, but they aren’t $65 either. If I you are looking for budget study level you are pretty much limited to the Black Square addons to the existing asobo aircraft. They are great, except the exterior is the same model, and you can not have interactive things such as doors and static elements. Otherwise I would recommend the Cessna 414 from FlySimWare and is one of my favorite. It lacks the failures systems of Black Square but does have some of you treat it badly.

15:15 I don't think it's good at all that the picture moves while the airplane is flying, as if the wind is pushing the plane! This is disturbing because in the real world we are moving in the airplane, in sync with its movement! However, sitting in a chair at home, wee not moving! We are only trying to follow the random movement with our eyes, but our body is not shaking in sync with the movement! It is which tires the eyes unnecessarily! I would not install it under any circumstances! In fact, what is installed in the game, I even disable it!

I understand what you mean but the only solution for that is to have no motion, which like you said you can turn off. Or get VR and a motion simulator. My eyes do not tire but I understand what you mean. Appreciate you watching!

Thanks for the video. I have been using all the programs you mentioned for a while and can say they really add to the immersion. As another has mentioned, the addition of Sky4simNG does add a lot by providing a moving map, quick airport lookup for frequencies, runways etc, a notification window for Pilot2ATC, a scratch pad. Works well in VR to boot. 25:01

ATC Chatter "should" be able to identify what region you are in and not play other audio clips from other regions. They try their best to remove names of airports and such to help but it is entirely volunteer based. It is definitely not perfect for location based but I haven't had a discrepancy that big yet.

The realism craze has already let the military simulations go and great simulations like Falcon 3 and many other military simulations have been swept off the market and DCS and Co. are just languishing. Realism as a criterion is not a criterion. More beautiful landscapes and solid flight characteristics of airplanes are desirable. But all this realism babble is utter nonsense. It is and remains a game, it is remarkable what is possible on a small PC and it has boosted hardware development and provided sales figures that office computers alone would never have. We should not forget this point. So enough with the realism drivel and appreciate what it is, the coolest game ever. I've been with FS 4 since 1990 and am amazed by every new version. But don't stand out too much.

@sprocketsimulations

I too have been flying since FS4 and even remember getting the actual paper charts in the box. While this is in no way as realistic as either a real aircraft or even a study level simulator at a training school. I would say that it is definitely not just a game. There are many transferable lessons and techniques used in MSFS that are useful in real life. So it isn’t just babble to say “realism”. This video is how to had some additional realism to the sim. Such as practicing atc and learning phraseology, using real charts for flight planning and understanding airspace. Having a head tracker or VR also allows you to get more familiar with the layout of the real world cockpit as well as increase immersion. Some flight models are better than others and there is never going to be a replacement for the feeling of a real aircraft and how it moves as well as the feedback on the controls. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I think it is utter nonsense to call it just a game.

I have real-world flight hours. I have all the bells and whistles described here, plus a physical yoke and pedals. Nothing is more realistic than a good VR flight rig. Sorry but XPlane's VR is still better than MSFS. I can easily turn knobs with X-Plane VR out of the box. MSFS VR point-and-click control manipulation is the most unrealistic thing there is.

Do you use no 3rd party aircraft or addons? I’d hardly call them trash and the sim community has been growing and advancing thanks to 3rd party apps/developers. A lot of the freeware addons will turn into full developers and add soo much to the experience. From flight models, atc, traffic, graphics, airports, aircraft, and more.

I downloaded this free 7 day demo it's pretty good but it's not ok with some other aircrafts some it's to much no so realistic for some of the Cessnas it's pretty good but as for some of the Boeing Jets not so much I suggest try the free download before buying
