    Just to chime in here and a word of caution - the "final" release of 12.1 is actually the RC2 which came out some weeks ago, but apparently, although many issues were not fixed, the RC2 has been labeled "final". I find that strange and there are many users on the forum complaining about crashes and considerable performance losses. There is a reason as to why I am very cautious about things like: 1) Forum / email stating a final release, 2) the software/sim itself wanting to update. It was my gut feeling not to update and seems I was right. Be very careful with updates of this magnitude, with every game and software. Something I learned in 30 years in and with IT.

    Running with live weather was a great suggestion. I love that MSFS will let you see storm fronts moving in from the distance, haze layers forming, and have dynamic situations to react to that may derail your plans if you don't do a good weather brief. Personally, the one very bad sim habit I had to break when starting flight lessons was not keeping the nose up during the landing, or worse, pushing it down to land. The first time I tried to land in real life the way I'd been landing in the sim resulted in my CFI reaching for the controls. Looking forward to following along on your other channel for the RV build. Good luck!

    • @flightsimguides
      @flightsimguides 12 днів тому

      For sure on the landing, if you create bad habits in the sim, they'll follow you right on over to the real aircraft. All good though, i made some solo landings before that if a CFI were there, I'm sure they would have reached for the controls. As long as you learn from it and correct irl AND in the sim. More content to come on the RV channel, i just threw a couple time lapses up there to have something last night.

      Starting with a Desktop Sim as a new student pilot, the learner should always have at least a few hours in the sim with a CFI sitting beside you. Then transition smoothly to the real aircraft. Can save significant hours to PPL. This has been proven. For example, check out the training program at Cypress College in California. Also....See the exchange just below.

    I think they’re both great. The weather in xplane 12 is obviously a step up me personally I feel like xplane 11 graphically looks a little sharper, but maybe I’m doing something wrong.

    • @flightsimguides
      @flightsimguides Місяць тому

      12's graphics and weather are def a step up. I think they used the same base graphics as XP11, but built upon that, so if you are out in the middle of nowhere, you'll see a lot of basic texture models that are the same as xp11. I believe they put a lot of time into building custom scenery for more airports, so if you do see better graphics, it's because they put the time into designing better models for some of the bigger airports. Then updated the engine for shadows and water, reflections. Basic things that even the next gen consoles have already done for most of their games. I still think XP 11 has better flight characteristics, but XP12 is getting some needed updates to their avionics, which will eventually put XP11 way behind. For me, the flight characteristics absolutely kill me on XP12. 11 is just so much more stable and functional, I'd rather fire up XP11 if I'm going out on a serious flight (pilotedge, etc). But to each their own, just have to figure out whats best for you and just roll with it. good luck!

    A huge part of the appeal of previous versions of MSFS (FSX in particular) was the various missions e.g. Amazon, rescuing folk, delivering goods. I'm glad they are going to be the focal point of FS2024. For many, there needs to be more meaningful things to do.

    They're not cut scenes, MSFS doesn't have cut scenes, it's actual game play footage.
