Top 5 Must Have Flight Simulators - 2022 

Agreed

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers Brett.

The notions that XP has better flight simulation is just a notion. It maybe valid in the past but XP12 seems still uses Blade element theory. This flight dynamics calculating tech is pretty old. Haven't found CFD visualisation option. P-Factor with Perf. Data on MSFS more accurate there. MSFS in the other hand has CFD, which you can actually see the simulation and simulated surfaces on the airplane. XP maybe using 5 simulated surfaces on an airplane and MSFS uses hundreds of simulation surfaces in an aircraft, thus makes it more accurate and realistic. Here's the CFD simulation in visual and data form. And I would like to see XP to provide with their simulation data as well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ndl07_7PsWg.html

@@hpharold23 now you've posted this multiple times, can you go and delete your comments on other people's replies and just leave your own comment?

@@hpharold23 CTRL +m to cycle the forces model in XP. Also CFD actually isn’t fully modelled in MSFS. Sorry to bust your bubble and speech. Most devs are not using it fully and whilst CFD provides a more accurate model in comparison to BET it’s not a large variation that any person would comprehend in flight physics or notice. Most 3rd party devs are still struggling to get the flight modelling to be accurate in msfs which I’ll refer you to PMDG, Fenix and many others public available posts. A2A who can be regarded as probably one of the most accurate study level devs from FSX and P3D has struggled massively to get accurate data to translate into msfs and the SDK still has parts under construction which asobo are yet to open up. And not to mention the proof of this with there being a huge lack of right rudder on rotate in many aircraft in msfs. SR22 is very much my case in point. And the default king air has been tested by many KA350i real world pilots all of whom have stated the same thing. No the KA350 doesn’t fly anything like this.

Thankyou

Thanks Anthony. Cheers

dcs is better bro :(

Thank you Zenon.

Thanks for the visit

Welcome aboard! Thanks for subbing.

Hey did you ever get into DCS World?

My pleasure!

Thanks! Will do! Thanks Mark.

CJ simulations just released one yesterday on Justflight and IFE are also working on theirs, no date yet

I'm a DCS guy and i though the same thing you do. However I would strongly recommend you trash that thought process. I have msfs ans I primarily fly the 747 as I love it. I also do vatsim. That Is very difficult to get bored unless you do long flights. I do 2-5 hour flights on vatsim. On vatsim you must create flight plans talk with atc aka real people that play as atc get taxi clearances follow flight plans exactly how real life pilots do it. It's extremely fun. Then there are also extremely fun airports that you can fly into. My favorite is VNKD aka kathmandu. The approach to land is between 2 mountains. The airstrip high begins at 9000 feet above sea level. The top of the runway is approximately 11000 feet. That approach is tons of fun. Obviously you don't take 747 or even an a320 but smaller plans are great to take in there. Especially I'm VR it's fun. Yes I would re-think your idea of msfs if I were you.

@@ryanbarbosa3220 I played it when I had game pass...got bored very quickly. All that stuff you mentioned doesn't really interest me. It's just a bunch of mission planning really.

If you were actually interested in learning about real world aviation, you would be doing more things than just watching the clouds go by. There is a lot to learn come at a lot to keep you busy.

Thanks Sammo!!!!!

Cheers, thanks Mike.

@@AusFlightSimmer good video Captain.

Possibly! Cheers

Thanks for checking out the video.

Can you play it on an Xbox 5?

Cheers, thanks for the comment.

is it paid

Of course we do!!!!!

Thank you 🙌

Depends on your system but the cockpit on high fidelity aircraft is usually extremely detailed and looks beautiful, if your system is good enough the outside from the cockpit can also look good as well (This is in case you are doing low altitude missions) and different objects such as powerlines and buildings are fully modelled. The lighting in DCS is also amazing especially around 5:00PM in cockpit view.

If you can run at 4K 60Hz there isn't a better view especially with the HUD in many of the AC and Helos. Plus you can plan real missions which test you in the different aircraft in 3 different eras WWII, cold war and modern. The only sim that shows the Hornet and other carrier based aircraft to their full value imo.

@@zorbakaput8537 Thanks, but I'm asking about control inputs? Using the cockpit flight controls, and electronic navigation equipment in the cockpit. How does DCS compare to MSFS, and X Plane, with regard to those categories?

@@Lightning_studios437 Thanks. I have a high end, PC desktop. I was partially asking about graphics, ( appearance ), but more importantly, I was wondering about buttons, switches, and their functionality in the cockpit. Thanks so much for your responses. Quite helpful.

Fidelity for switches and cockpit functionality, flight dynamics there is a two parts to DCS. Most stand alone models are study level and most switches are functional(some secret functions are not perfectly modelled for obvious reasons). Being a Pilot, my subjective feeling is that flight dynamics and the feel of the aircraft in DCS are superior to X--plane, and X-plane is not the "king" of flight dynamics. Actually X-plane is rather deterministic and very poor in low speed/stall situations. Cockpits are well modelled but the terrain is.... sqaure grid and flat vs curved which means it is kind of odd using real life plates at some airport on the map. Note that most military aircraft doesnt have RNAV capability (Hopefully the C-130J will have) so most approaches if you want fly those will be RBSN, ILS, TCN, ICLS, and for some aircraft VOR. The systems are fuctional and work as well and work on a satisfactory level. all switches and buttons in the aircraft can be switched to appropriate conditions. If you place the wrong switch in the wrong conidtions, you may encounter issues as appropriate. EXCEPTION there is a series of aircraft that have simplified avionics (Non-clickable cockpit) These are the Flaming Cliffs (FC3) models. VR is where it really shines. TO be honest it is THE benchmark for VR controllers, MSFS could learn alot from how inputs are handled.

Naw too hard

Yea I ain't gon spend 3 years learning how to fly a Cessna.

Only for Combat

:)) just learn a module it’s actually mentality rewarding.

You forgot msfs

@@clutchthecinnamonsergal8493 define flight simulator then.

You’re welcome 😊

Technically both however dcs has weapons and you can watch your friend fall to the earth as a flaming wreck. Unless you slap him with a fox 3 at 80 miles

I think you might see one in 2024 sim release.

Yes 1-1 of the world.

Spruce goose. Will be out with Sim Update 11.

Falcon BMS = free and is superior to dcs in many ways.

Thanks Aussie

Sorry to read you don’t have any ground service and traffic. I don’t have any add ons and have full ground service’s and traffic, depending on the airport.

@@TPHI17 What system do you have PC or Xbox Series X??

@@TPHI17 Here what strange... I have reloaded Flight Simulator 4 times and Ground Services is there... When I power down and re-open Flight Simulator again, all the Ground Services is Lost again...

@@victorraye57 series X

@@victorraye57 oh wow that is frustrating

i play fs2020 with my laptop . you just need a powerful one !

@@telemaq76 atleast a free game an my loptop ver is 10

Im 14yerold and love realistic flight sim is there any?

Thanks!
