The opinions of the flight sim community - A summary

Come on, it’s about 6 days from now…
Like others, I think we should be a little bit more patient, the game has been released one week ago ! it’s not perfect but playable, and i’m sure they’ll do some awesome updates soon :wink:

That seems a fair appraisal to me.

REPLAY FUNCTION

as another mentioned, I am going to say the tutorial is really poor. Frankly I have never done the tutorials in previous iterations to completion, mainly because the sim never felt immersive enough to me to take that seriously, MSFS2020 has totally changed that. Now I did the whole tutorial and got nothing from it, or even review my landing style with a REPLAY function

I was looking to learn proper procedures beyond takeoff and landing, especially with the NAV systems comms, setting waypoints etc etc. In fact, I don’t think you ever even set your own takeoff flaps in the tutorial, landing in crosswinds is not covered etc. I would check if there was a REPLAY function

Put it this way… want to fly with an elderly family member who knows nothing about flying, but loves the scenery and wants to ‘see the world’… but at this stage I would have to become a flight instructor because the tutorial is so underwhelming. We also could not review his performance as there is not REPLAY function

I also agree 100% on the camera GUI and fix whatever bug is causing mice to go haywire and drift, even outside the sim. I would provide and example if I had a REPLAY function

I am happy it is released now and have been flying constantly and forcing myself to stop for eating, I comment for love of the sim assuming the dev team are listening, not as a complaint. Let me REPLAY that, not as a complaint. but I would like clear guidance from the team this is a continuing work in progress.

For GA flying at least, I am generally thrilled with the software, but yeah, it needs a team cleaning up bad satellite imagery (eg below on the Amalfi coast) and to work on essential landmarks. As per the screenshot thread, I flew The Twelve Apostles in Australia only to see a series of holes in the ocean, which I would replay over and over if I could

Did I mention the lack of replay? That one frankly surprised me. I will also say we need more liveries. For a deluxe package for $180, a handful of paint jobs should be expected. I will say the premium package does not seem great value and the airport/aircraft upgrades seemed hardly noticeable

wishlist… a livery import and creation tool to use on my fully functional airliner (or GA)

pic below (Amalfi Coast Italy) TO be fair, when there last year, I sussed out the area using maps and noted this stretch of road was like this in the map as well, though I thought it was Apple Maps and not Bing

edit: yes, the road had traffic lol
