If it comes to assesing the flight model for example it definitely matters if you are a real world pilot or not. If you don’t have real world experience, what are you gonna compare the flight model to? Other simulators? But on the topic of a “pro-version” could use some help voting these up:
Dear all,
The propeller effects in FS2020 are not realistic or even completely missing. Just to give you some examples before giving a comprehensive breakdown of each effect:
The TBM and Kingair just won’t slow down when you slam the power to idle, I haven’t flown the TBM myself but I did fly the Kingair in real life. I can tell you, as soon as you kill the power its like throwing out the anchors. It must be a piece of cake to fly 160 kts until 4 nm with any turboprop and be stabilished at 100…
I don’t know if anybody else noticed, it’s kind of funny in a way and sad at the same time considering Asobo don’t seem to understand how a localiser works.
I was flying the TBM on arrival (base) with the ILS frequency tuned on both sets and bearing pointers set to NAV 1 and NAV 2. I noticed they were actually pointing towards the airport. I’m talking about the bearing pointers here (blue needles) and NOT the CDI.
That is weird obviously as in the real world bearing pointer will never point to…
This is a a bug affecting nearly all aircraft in MSFS:
When flying with Flight Director ON but Autopilot OFF and any lateral mode selected (HDG - FMS - VOR - LOC doesn’t matter), the Flight Director commands wings level and does only respond to the active vertical mode.
When selecting autopilot ON the flight director starts responding to the active lateral mode and the autopilot starts following it.
Of all the aircraft I’ve tested so far only the Airbus A320 seems to be unaffected but …
RMI / bearing pointers are pointing towards the localiser antenna when an ILS frequency is selected. This is not possible in real life.
Offset approaches are not supported, at Innsbruck for example the approach is aligned with the runway, it should be aligned with the valley. It seems that all approaches in FS2020 are aligned with the runway centerline.
Localiser back beams are not available in FS2020, it’s not commonly used nowadays but could be handy after departure in low visibility (…
And a solution to the inacurate ATC phraseology:
Cheers
