Downloaded the game today, wanted it for 2 weeks because I flew 2 times in my life and I’ve always admired when pilot lands and I wanted to try real simulator and learn about flying and landing, I played a mobile game for a few days but thats nothing compared to this game, first thing I did in the game was customize bindings on the controller and I started flying, first plane was Cessna Citation CJ4 and I somehow buttered the landing, I don’t know if I have some assists turned on but for the first flight it was good
I’ve heard of a lot of people saying they crashed a lot and it was said multiple times in the video. I am using an Xbox controller to fly at the moment (I plan on upgrading) but I don’t find myself crashing ever besides when I attempt very dangerous stunts. Is there some kind of flight assist I must have on or something because I doubt I’m this good at flying
@@damiengates7581 My entry into the whole landing sequence is horrific but i do have some smooth touchdowns (I assume at least, the game won’t tell me I’d anything went severely wrong)
This game is unrealistic. the environment is way too clean with perfect looking houses in the US and the traffic is orderly. who thought an intensive fire would spread immediately to a new area meters away like a pop-up advertisement?
I understand it's doubtful you'll see this but also just for others to read. I'm 60 years old so I've grown up with the complete evolution of gaming, from pong to ZX Spectrum ps1 etc etc I never got in to playing games as when it started to really evolve I had a very long self employed career. So my point in mentioning all that crap is that I am the worst game player ever but this game really excites me. I have been watching video after video on You Tube for the past 2 weeks, There a very good one who is an actual pilot and she teaches from the very, very basics of learning all the procedural stuff which I'd one day like to be able to understand. I only finally bought the game today in April 2024 during Microsoft's 40 years anniversary celebration where they've release a few special anniversary editions of 2020. I've also (because I have the spare cash) just bought the Honeycomb Alpha Flight Controls Yoke and I had already decided to do exactly as you described and just start off already up in the air and fly around like that for a couple of weeks. Now I have found out from your video just how much more I will be able to see and discover starting in this mode and I can take my time remembering what has sunk in so far from watching the basic procedural videos as i fly around and eventually learn how to pre flight check, taxi pre lift off check and go on to learn to plan routes. After watching your video I'm really confident about being able to achieve those goals in a non rushed, casual manner so as to keep it always being fun and not frustrating as I'm in no hurry with any of it. So I'm going to re watch this video and make some notes but on the off chance you ever come back to your old videos, thanks for such a cool, down to earth video, this old guy really appreciates it.
I laughed when you said its an expensive hobby. Just be cause I got an Xbox and MSFS solely to do pattern work because tis cheaper that renting an actual plane. My wife and I flew a couple hours north (via 172) and had lunch just to fly back. Cost over $600 for a burger run. I think I've invested around $50k and still haven't finished my commercial license. For those who have never flown and airplane, I think this ism is a great intro. If you set everything to HARD its very similar to the real thing. Do yourselves a favor though and find a local flight school and do a discovery flight.
the steam revievs say that after you load into the game it installs other things in the launcher but now the steam download is 150gb does it still install things after that?
Started playing three days ago never did any of the challenges I just moved around the cabin figuring out all the buttons and levers, then adjusting the camera then crashing over and over again but now I feel pretty confident in propeller planes and some small jet planes. But I mainly enjoy flying low and slow and taking on the view and not being afraid to land in fields
horrible optimzation, one of the worst ive seen in my life. if your like me and you dont spend a years worth of mortgage on a pc then dont bother buying this game. Animations are the jankiest ive ever seen and the driving has almost no weight. it turns like if u were driving a small car.
I just started on this. Got about 70 hrs of flying so far. Is the AI messed up. Trying to land and the AI gives full power and can`t shut it off sometimes. Or full power on the ground taxiing. Sometimes shutting off power on auto pilot. Some planes are un-useable. Go to full power taking off and the engines just shut off and can`t get them to work after. Yes. I`m on Xbox X and using a controller for now till find a good set up. And seeing if I like the game. Seeing if can help.
I regret buying this game. The keyboard controls are stupid and not player friendly. The in-game tutorials are crap and don't give any tips on how to actually manage things like speed.
You don't play this flight Sim with a keyboard. Joystick and throttle highly recommended as well as rudder pedals. Yes it's expensive, but it's the only way to play this properly. There is enough RU-vid tutorials on each plane to get you going. It only takes patience and a willingness to learn.
100% agree. I love JWE2 and it's better than the first game. But it still is extremely limited. The hitboxes drive you crazy and, except for rocks, everything placeable can be rotated only. Buildings can be customized a bit - color, facades, exterior lights and decoration - but very, very limited. There options for what's being sold and interior modules are a joke - set up a large amenity and sell falafels anywhere and it's profitable. And the problem is, falafels seem to be what all guest want in every park. Also, you can add up to seven interior modules. But usually profit maxes out at two and I've never been able to add three without losing money. The big issue is the one you hit hear - No Guest Feedback - or at least none that makes any sense. The guest satisfaction is tied to what's in the park, regardless of where it is. Put five zip lines right next to each other in the corner of your park, your adventure guests are 100% happy.
Absolutely, mate. I live and play this from Africa and I have the Pro Logitech Attack (I think it's called), which is as basic as they come and it's a blast.
