Testing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024!
I’m a veteran flight simmer that tested my first sim in the 80’s as a kid, but I’m also a real world pilot and today I tried to fly a route I have flown many times in real life, ENKB to ENML in Norway.
The first impression is how mind blowing accurate the the landscape is, from the height of the topography to the shorelines, bridges and overall feeling of the terrain. And this is stock, without any add on scenery which makes it that much more impressive!
This is the biggest asset of the sim for me personally, and as a real pilot this is a nice tool for familiarization with foreign airports and areas that I’m planning to fly to.
Regarding the handling and flight characteristics compared to MSFS 2020 and other sims I have tried during the years, I just have to say it’s superb! Much better ground handling, rudder authority during takeoff, more realistic turn radius and the feeling of weight during flight. A sim can never replace reality but this is the closest I have felt to fly a real plane so far.
When it comes to performance I’m also impressed.
I know a lot of people have reported problems with the sim and understand the frustration, but my experience so far is good. 100-150 fps with settings high to ultra on most parameters and silky smooth frame rates.
My conclusion is that this is the future of flight simulation and I have to say that the future looks bright! Thanks to Asobo Studios for taking on the monumental task to recreate the world 1:1 with this type of fidelity and to let us fly in this artificial world!

Spectacular approach in Norway!
Переглядів 684 місяці тому
In this video we make an approach to runway 24 at Hovden Airport (ENOV) Norway. This particular approach is a special one as you fly between mountains along the fjords. You will hug the mountain wall before you line up to the runway that is “hidden” behind an other mountain. The scenery is amazing but this can be a challenging approach if you have not flown here before or when the weather is bad.

      Hei. I vårt område så er det begrenset med landingsmuligheter i fjellene. Beste alternativ er bruk av syntetisk visjon og komme seg under for å finne et egnet sted eller gå for sjøen eventuelt ett fjellvann. Har man litt høyde så er det 1:14 i glidedistanse så det gir også noen muligheter.

    out of 10 how much would you give the sim Archer for realism?

    • @Windwardairways
      @Windwardairways Рік тому

      Hi. It’s difficult to comment on the flight characteristics because I don’t know if it’s limitations in MSFS or in the airplane model, but I can write down what’s positive and what’s negative. Positive: - All instruments and equipment work good and are close to real life. - Textures and layout of the cockpit is true to the real airplane. - Feels ok when in the air (but a simulator can’t replicate a real flight so I don’t blame Just Flight for this). Negative: - The rudder is to responsive both on ground and in air. In real life it’s more sluggish. - The turn radius on ground is way to good and the real plane doesn’t have this sharp turn capability. - When the altimeter reads 1000ft the perspective to the ground in real life is more like 500ft (maybe this is a MSFS limitation?). - It’s easier to trim the real plane and hold the assigned height. Conclusion: I think this is a good product and I use it for instrument training/procedures and getting familiar with new airports I want to visit in real life. Later I will try to make a direct comparison between real life and simulation.

      @@fulanitoflyerNo problem and happy to help. In the simulator you can bust airspace by 200-300ft in the blink of an eye and this is not realistic. It would be “catastrophic” if this happened in real life in a controlled airspace. So I think the suspicion you have is correct.
