The thing is RL gliding is one of the most accessible kinds of flying, you need to be only 16 years old to have SPL license.
People who never piloted RL craft expect that with high visual realism MSFS comes with highly realistic flight model. MSFS marketing support this view with all those feature reveal series and dev Q&A presentations and Jorgs/Sebs statements.
I have never heard any disclaimer do not use it for flight practice, I rather heard that real airliner and other pilots often use it. Thus supporting the claim âas real as it getsâ.
Realiatically scanned gliders also give this impression.
Whether we like it or no young people will try supplement their RL glider training (to cut costs of training) with practicing gliders in MSFS. Even if MSFS would explicitly forbid its use for such purpose people will do it.
So the only sensible solution is to work on decently realistic flight model - accelerated stall is not something subtle.
BTW unitprice does not matter - if you multiply it by quantity of MSFS and real sims sokd youll get the amount of money involved in given sim.
An update to the âglider does not brakeâ problem. A bit late but maybe the solution also helps others.
I double checked my âbrakeâ settings (keyboard, rudder) as well, which seem all to be fine.
I ended up in assigning the âleft brake axisâ and âright brake axisâ to the same Bravo lever, that also controls the spoiler axis (âreverse axisâ checked for both).
This perfectly works in my context.
Is there a means to change the default Altimeter units (for DG-1001E)? On doing the glider training, the instrument is defaulting to Meters, whilst I have Hybrid configured & Iâm expecting feet?
Is there a model file I can edit? what its filename & where would I find it - would be great.
Iâm not sure that this is as easy as a single model to correct that. Yes, itâs sad that Microsobo only asked for a âtrue to lifeâ glider and not one that would have universally correct instruments. Someone in the community has created a mod for the LS8 (see LS-8 Glider Imperial cockpit - Knots and Feet » Microsoft Flight Simulator) but so far nobody has delved into the DG1001 to do the same. Good luck if you set out to embark on that project.
There is an issue in the LX 9070 where the display getâs shifted to the top.
Scroll to the âSetupâ page. Enter any of the menues. Hit close to go back out (youâre back on the setup page). Then with the bottom right knob scroll up.
Now the header is cut off, and everything on every screen will be shifte up by these pixels. It looks really ugly.
Hi, did you solve your problem ?
I have a similar one, on the first speed. The speed objective is ok (green), but the second doesnât want to validate. But, all is fine and i didnât touch any command for about 5 minutes, and nothing⊠but the speed always green.
Am i missing something or just a bug ?
Quick question. I have been flying the DG-1001E neo and canât work out how to get sound out of the Variometer. The needle moves up or down with lift and sink but I donât hear the âbeepsâ that are associated with the movement. Can anyone advise what might be the issue please? It works in the Tutorials provide by the sim (in the same glider).
