To us, and a few dozen other members of this Sim, who appreciate aerial sensitivity, speed, strength, maneuverability, and… “Ges”, (to make us breathe adrenaline). This comes from a member of this Forum, who asked me that something very irregular happened to him with the Volocopter recently incorporated to this Sim. To debate and speculate with Volocopter, it is not easy because at the moment we do not know it completely. It would be very different if it were a Extra 330 LT, or Sukoi SU-26M that we were debating. A flying machine superior to the current Extra 330 LT, (I speak naturally, virtual reality), then if we would strive to analyze it meticulously. Anyway, I know that it will come to this Sim, what nobody knows, is when, and above all…if a sufficiently good and superior aircraft to the present Extra will be developed. It can only be done by a brave person, or group of brave people, who work for the love of art (for a job well done and with recognition by the lovers of acrobatics), because in that airplane, its programming will have to be very complex.
Here we already have a third party team that has developed a magnificent aircraft:
Team : Top Mach Studio
Aircraft: Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor
And that I make known to whom it may concern, that after SU 7, in that F-22 raptor aircraft, all the information displayed on the HUD, has disappeared; now it appears completely empty of information. Please repair this anomaly to whom it may concern.
Returning to the aerobatic issue, programmers will have to work together with professional aerobatic pilots who would provide the programmers with the precise information of what they want to do at each moment of each maneuver; that will take, to modify and modify each routine, each line of code, and so on thousands of times; thousands of hours of work testing each movement of the aircraft after each modification in each line of code. A long work for…how long?
And it is not easy such an effort in exchange for…?. Well, a well done development, (better than anyone has done so far), it is more than reasonable to put a cost on it. I, and I suppose that many more members of this community, would be happy to pay that price for a “virtual aerobatic flight machine” well done, that offers us what we have been waiting for years: an aircraft that performs aerobatic maneuvers well done.
And after all that has been said and exposed in these lines, we would only have a virtual toy that recreates our sight, the only one of our senses that comes into action in front of the monitor, or virtual glasses, but nothing more. The most important thing in this illusion, we will never have it: to feel in our physical body, the acceleration, the “Ges”, the rotations of the airplane in space, the dive, the pitch, the roll, etc. etc. etc. That makes us breathe adrenaline, it is a human emotion I think almost unmatched to any other. And that set of emotions we will never have in this virtual world, no matter how sophisticated the aerobatic plane I am describing. I think I can safely say that the best player in the world, expert in Sim and fond of acrobatics, if he were to enter a real plane with a real pilot, he would have a very bad time in the face of not very aggressive maneuvers. This demonstrates the enormous distance that exists between this virtual world of flight and real flight.
Anyway, this is only a virtual game, and a substitute for those who have never tried real flight, or for others who practice or have practiced it. In any case, if the plane realistically performs these maneuvers mentioned, we will feel very satisfied to have a virtual toy, whose behavior is very similar to the real one. This is even though we will not feel on our body, the mentioned “Ges” among other sensations. Naturally, we will pay this price for a plane that does well.
I recommend to those who play this virtual game with real pleasure, to try the real flight; it will be an extraordinary experience, which you will enjoy enormously, and just for that, it is worth it. Most especially, in aerobatic flight.
Finally, I encourage third parties to play this game; they may be in for a big surprise, it happens very often in life, that what we think does not work, then we get the big surprise and it is a success, especially in sales.
Third parties, we would be satisfied with a well made Sukoi SU-26M. We would not be unhappy with a Sukoi SU-29 either.
NOTE: it comes to my memory that I have in Aerofly FS 2, the aerobatic plane “Xtreme Air Sbach 300”, and I think I have read in some post in this Forum, the name of the author of this plane giving his opinion, I don’t know exactly about what. Does anyone know it?
I can say that it is the plane of all I know virtually, that flies frankly well and does the normal and inverted augers, better than any other. I’m sure Google is going to mistranslate this “auger” name. I think it is called “Spin” in English. In short, it is a vertical descent but in spiral and with the engine at idle and joystick completely back. The inverted auger, exactly the same, but with joystick completely forward.
If you browse this Forum, couldn’t you adapt that formidable plane “Xtreme Air Sbach 300”, to fly in MSFS 2020 ?.
Well, fellow Forum members, nothing more in this topic for the moment.
