As a layman, albeit one with an aeronautical background, my opinion is:
- MSFS has the best atmospheric model - I would go as far as to say that.
- MSFS has good flight modelling - out-of-the-box as it were - but perhaps not the best (yet).
To that end, the atmospheric model actually adds a much bigger layer of immersion than a precise-to-the-numbers flight model (for me), so I’m happy with it overall.
I feel that low-speed, high AoA flight feels too forgiving, and that’s a regime which can be common in the landing pattern, but I’m mainly informed by previous sims and my own expectations rather than any deep real-life experience to draw upon, so I am happy to be corrected if the data supports it
