Noted all those things and heavily agree. Also have a lot of real-word experience in a 172SP.
Add an OAT probe check and fresh air vents to that as well. And the fact we aren’t able to do much around the pointy end other than check the oil level and nosewheel assembly. There’s the alternator belt, air filter, oil breather, battery vent, and the spinner and prop themselves.
Help me set up the thrustmasters tca pack, in MSFS 2020 there were like presets so that you could fly calmly, now it works, but I don’t understand how to set up the smoothness of everything and the necessary buttons, I’m a beginner. Maybe someone has a screenshot?
Sorry but I can’t find the setting. Can you give me the path?
From the main menu, click on your user name (upper right corner of the screen). Then choose “Customize Identity.” Then click the Co-Pilot button and choose the first tile (which doesn’t show a person).
Your standby battery is armed - that’s correct behavior for the G1000, at least until the standby runs out.
You’re right. I completely missed that
Hi, have > 1000h in these and liked it in 2020 but the FPS problem comes and goes here. I am flying around the SF Bay area out of Palo Alto and the bridges are screwed up. Cars into the water. Trees are blocky. It stutters if you take it to SFO. I did enjoy a flight to Yosemite.
Ahh! Thank you. I didn’t know all that came from the user name. I see you can also change your clothes (thank goodness - mine needed to get washed badly after crawling around on the preflght) and even reset the career mode.
does anyone feel that the flight model is actually worse compared to 2020
i feel it has been simplified, and made easier to fly
The dash lights in the steam gauge 172 actually do work, but you can’t see them in the daylight. But take it out at night and they work. Same for the Nav lights on the wingtips.
If you look at the lights under the glare shield in the daytime, you can actually see them come on but the effect on the dash isn’t noticeable.
Can someone please verify that OBS is actually working? I have the aircraft on heading mode, but cant change the course .
engine sound is very low
I am currently doing my LAPL IRL and when I use the rudder to align myself with the runway my plane is positioned where I want.
Here on MSFS, when I apply pressure to the rudder, the plane is seen to go into a significant movement to the side without positioning itself.
And when I return to neutral the plane violently goes back in the other direction completely off-axis. For information, the test is done in a calm environment.
Power management is not simultaneous with the action applied.
As rGUNSLINGERr says, the engine sound is too quiet.
I revised my notes downwards after a few flights on the C172.
Indeed, the flight model is far from good. You have to fight with the plane even in calm winds to keep it going.
This Saturday, I was flying on the DR300 IRL with a wind of 22kt at 1200ft, well even if it shakes a little, you can hold the plane without fighting and without it going in all directions.
Good lord, I had the same issue, I’m trying to start my career and throttle goes to 0% although my controls have been set up correctly. This was a “feature” indeed, as controls began working OK only after the instructor teleported us to the runway.
I have the Aviator Upgrade but i am not seeing my Cessna 172 / steam gauge version, in the aircraft library. Is there an additional step i am missing to install it ??
You select the skyhawk, and then there should be an option to configure it. Then you can select the Basic model that has steam gauges.
TBH I feel it behaves pretty much like my dad’s C172C (1961, doesnt have rear windows) with hardly any differences - to me at least - it feels very much like the real thing and seems to be just as easy to fly.
but this is also just my own perspective, and it’s possible different variants or even different planes of the same model/series might also potentially feel different from one another due to slight differences.
i don’t know - I have only flown a single rare model of the type and not any of the newer models.
Wow, thank you ! That would have taken forever to figure that out on my own
