General question here but I’ve been looking at the topics in the wishlist and bug report and noticed that most of the issues people seem to care about centre around graphics/visual effects, inaccurate weather and sometimes ATC stuff. But flight model and physics seem to rank pretty low on most peopl…

So I went through the latest development update and here is colour coded bugs/wishlist top 24 and top 49 wishlist items for the devs to look at. I coloured weather (W) as green, graphics (G) as yellow, gameplay (GP) as red, and flight model (FM) as blue. [image] [image] Here is the total for the…

Excellent work. Painful to see.

Some sample bias in that, though. I mean, I don’t disagree, but flight model is an area that requires a lot of experience and/or expertise. The vast majority of users don’t know what they don’t know about how the sim interprets things, much less aerodynamics, etc. Additionally, we’re sometimes flyin…

All of which is true - the forums only represent a tiny fraction of users and within that those who are either real pilots or engineers with enough knowledge to recognise a problem and talk about it coherently are even smaller. (Yet still, you might have thought anyone who bothers to fly in live wea…

[image] AlpineB4652: you might have thought anyone who bothers to fly in live weather might have noticed their crosswind landings were awful I wouldn’t say they’re awful — certainly not until you hit the deck during a pretty strong crosswind — at which point the aircraft seems to lose all mas…

Just voted. It’s an issue that greatly takes away from the crosswind landing experience. It’s pretty awful with the ATR.

The good news is that it is ‘solvable’ (improvable may be more accurate) with a bit of ‘self-help’ and some light editing of the aircraft flight_model.cfg…if you can access that file, which you can’t for Marketplace purchases… like the ATR I suspect (but worth checking) For ‘how to’ and deeper back…

I’m on Xbox so not a possibility for me.

Then for you my friend, the war is over.

Do simmers generally not care about the flight physics of the sim?

Yes, it’s everything that goes on once the wheels hit the ground when you land. The approaches are fine. Explored comprehensively in this bug report, with it’s paltry 164 votes despite it being a near universal issue:
