I remember learning to fly in the C-152 many years ago. With a left crosswind I can still hear my instructor telling me to stop the crab by using right rudder and dipping the left wing into the crosswind. The landing happens on the left main, then the right, and the nosewheel. This keeps the plane aligned with the runway at touchdown. Keep the yoke turned into the wind as you taxi.
Absolutely. My first major cross wind takeoff and landings (12 g 15) I kept it straight down the center line and my instructor sang my praises. I was so proud that it came naturally at such a low time experience. I did manage to give him plenty of opportunity for correction in subsequent hours. 🙄
Always believed a slip was better than a crab. Had one day of nothing but crosswinds (in OK) where the student and I tried to see who could keep it on the upwind wheel longer.
Great to see you highlighting this awesome product, Jonathan! This is one app that I always have running. I love the camera shakes, the random sneezing, and the cries of sheer terror from my passengers. FS Realistic makes my flying (mostly in VR these days) so much more realistic and challenging. :)
I bought it last week. It takes some tweaking but eventually you'll get it to give that extra immersion. I've send FSR my wish-list and got word back they will improve- and enhance the addon in the near future. For example I'd like to hear the 'runway light bump' on takeoff. I think the team (2 persons) is doing a great job developing and supporting. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
@@kobhalt94 It does work also with 3rd party aircraft although we cant promise it will work 100% as expected (We do fix issues users are reporting if possible). Check this video about PMDG and FSRealistic : ua-cam.com/video/GIG9G83Nz-Q/v-deo.html Suggest to give it a try yourself, you have free week you can trial
Did they change flight physics with the FS Realistic Pro Add-on? With the previous updates the C172 still felt sloppy and did not behave as the real one...
Sim update 10 brought a lot of changes. There are numerous videos of real-world aircraft pilots testing MSFS in recent weeks and months - and attesting that it's very, very good now. One video I saw was a real-world pilot checking X-Plane and MSFS side-by-side, and he said MSFS was far more like the real aircraft now. I think the big change has been CFD, which is now built into the MSFS flight model and provides a closer simulation than the blade element system using in X-Plane.
Looks good. I'd like to see the anticipatory head turning added so you don't have to manually turn the camera toward the taxi turn or even hold a quickview when turning in the traffic pattern. It was awesome in XP11.
I bought this on release, and then got the Pro version. I think it's a great product, technically. The issue is the support. Up until a recent update , it was broken for over 2 months.
Hi, FSRealistic here. Indeed it took us a while to release the latest version but I can assure you we are constantly working on improving things (which is always a challenge given the MSFS SDK limitations). BTW - exciting features ahead
The sounds are much better than the standard sounds for haptic feedback as well. If you turn off all the "extras" (Clear Prop and Screaming etc.) that have nothing to do with the vibrations in the aircraft it makes a reasonable alternative to buying and fiddling with the various haptic software products, especially if you have a DIY haptic set up. I think the writers of FS Realistic should look at adding some strictly haptic tools to this product which would give it a wider market. I have 7 Daytona "pucks" attached to my rig driven by 2 cheap usb sound cards (4 in cushions on my chair, 1 on each rudder pedal and 1 on the yoke. As I had already purchased FSRealistic Pro I decided to use it together with Voicemeeter donationware and I am pretty happy with the results.
There are two widely used techniques when landing in cross-winds - either aligning with the centreline just before touchdown, or after touchdown. There's a really good video about it over at Kelsey's 747Gear youtube channel. Neither approach is incorrect.
@@jonbeckett You don't want to land a small plane in a crab then correct on the ground like that; airliners are built for it but in a Cessna you'll roll the tires off the wheel hubs from side-loading (I've had students do it). In small planes you can dip the upwind wing into the wind and use opposite rudder to keep the nose lined up with the centerline, or you can crab all the way down and kick the rudder to line up right before touchdown. We don't usually teach the first method if you're going to move up into larger aircraft because you risk hitting a wingtip on the ground in large low-wing planes.
An old friend was a pilot for Air America and flew the C-150 and that funny looking Pilatus Porter... funny looking, but could take off in a very short space; and land in places you wouldn't thing one could, and hope you never have to.
Quick point from a pilot, you should hold full aileron into the wind at the beginning of your takeoff and then relaxing it as you accelerate. I wonder if that might explain some of the yawing on takeoff.
I should never have taken off in the conditions exhibited :) It was just about showing what FSRealistic does (which we would not have seen on a calm day). As I've replied to numerous people - nothing about this flight was "by the book" :)
@@jonbeckett No problem, I get it. Frankly I am not so much of a fan of the add on since having my head bounced around and sound effects I would never hear in the plane is not something I desire. Most of us pilots use ANR headsets and the engine noise covers up almost everything else. I think I would have a heart attack if I heard all the creaking and groaning I know is happening. I used to fly a metal wing Schweicer 1-26 glider and it would constantly “oil can” as you maneuvered. I know my Cessna does the same but lucky I can’t hear it.
I honestly couldn't fly without FSRealistic anymore .. it adds so much to the realism (obviously) and immersion factor .. and looks like it's only going to get better from the latest previews.
ummm something off Topic: do you Jonathan or any of the comunity have any experience on the Super constellation is it any good thx for the Feedback and happy landings !
I was a bit puzzled because of your title: "First look..." I thought I missed something but it's the same addon I use since months. Great addon nevertheless. Use it on a plane with retractable gear and if you forget to brake after takeoff, you hear the wheels still spinning while the gear goes up. The only plane I don't use it with is PMDG 737, because this plane itself has gorgeous sounds.
Does it work with VR? I've read all the comments and I haven't seen that issue discussed (you were asked and replied that you weren't using VR, but that leaves open the question of whether this software works in VR mode...)
It does work in VR. The only issue I'm having is that as the cockpit moves and jiggles around with turbulence, it makes it difficult for the mouse to get a hold on the cockpit switches. I've often pressed the wrong button by mistake.
Hi mate, could you tell me what cube map reflections do for the Simm, and what setting to have it set too!!. I've seen it in the settings menu but have no idea about it. And is there any setting within this FS realistic software that alters pilot head movement, ie the pilots head should be moving at least side to side when banking in windy conditions with the aircraft.
It's running an nvidia 3080. Processor is an I7 (I think). 16GB RAM. I'll check later - I'm at work. My internet connection is fibre to the house, which helps too.
Hi Jonathan, move yoke into the wind for a much more balanced take-off roll + climb, just 10-15 degrees tilted into wind. Otherwise you'd be blown right off the RWY, having to fight your way back to centerline while slow and low. Try it. 👍
A Flight Sim with built in sarcasm! Jonathan, why didn't you land on the grass. I know Booker does not have a grass runway (I think it did at one time), but it would have been interesting to hear in FS Realistic for any change in the sound.
It's one of those addons I can't be without after trying. Even before "pro", "core" made everything better. Even in X-Plane it's something I couldn't be without (XPrealistic), but to tell you the truth I don't use XP alot anymore.... 😅
Hi Jose, If you have the Core version (Version 1) than you can upgrade to the Pro for a discounted price until year end. You can do that from the same store you purchased FSRealistic from . Should be around 6$
It works great but I paid for it & now that I updated it I have to pay for it again or I can only use the 7 day trial, I don't recall seeing the key for it & I can't find my key. Anyone know why?
@@wrongwayfeldman5393 your license key is located where you purchased the program. In my case it was simmarket, logged on order history and located the license key.
All the mid-airs in the news recently, and you take off without turning on your transponder! Try landing with your wing low and rudder to line up on center. Crosswind landings are a lot of fun when done right!
I've already replied to similar comments - I'm not follow procedures in these videos - just showing what FSRealistic does - and lucked into weather that nobody in their right mind would be flying in :)
With this addon I can hear your bad rudder inputs without looking at the ball 🤣 Joking aside this addon is one I'm seriously thinking of buying Russell
I own FS Realistic Pro and yes it does ad some realism into the sim and certainly makes the experience more satisfying however, having flown P3D for quite some time with similar addons one in particular being EzDok. FS Realistic in comparison is a poor cousin compared to EzDok, sure EzDok was more a camera addon but the effects were far more controllable and realistic. FS Realistic Pro has a long way to go but that’s just my opinion.
Hey Matt, FSRealistic here. Thank you for the great feedback. Note that Microsoft still didn't release camera movement support within its SDK so we are limited here. Try comparing us with similar products in MSFS. If you find anything better than us let us know, we always want to improve.
Whats funny is x plane for ipad has some of these features and base microsoft fs on a gaming pc doesnt come with it. Kinda funny like the flap airdrag sound. Btw no hate on flight simulator its clearly the best one but some of these things should be included without having to download mods.
Looks like it's time to buy a new flite sim. Maybe time to build my own simulator. I've seen some very realistic aircraft controls made for the PC. I wonder if I can get a real cockpit from an old Robinson helicopter that's been gutted out, and build the interior to simulate a variety of vehicles. I might even make a lot of the parts on my 3D printer... Who says you can't have fun in your mid-seventies?
It's just simulating the movement of the aircraft in the air. I can see in VR it would be an issue, because your brain dials out movement anyway (it's pretty good at it too). Having it forced back upon it will feel odd.
@@jonbeckett been doing VR and flying since 2014 and DK2. The bobbing is wrong. In racing sims there is an option to lock view to horizon or the eyepoint direction to a point at infinity which is essential. in this fs2020 it's just not right, and the bobbing is not good.
I did like XPrealistic v2 for X plane 11 but I am reluctant to give them any more money now. I bought my XPrealistic on steam but they pulled it off Steam a short while back and left me with an unusable DLC add on that no longer works without an activation code. Not a good way to treat customers who are now out of pocket. I am sure FSrealistic is just as good in Microsoft flight simulator but shady business practices puts me off buying it. Edit: should also note when you email this company they will ignore you and steam wont help either. It is what it is now can't do anything about it.
I've answered this again, and again, and again - I was throwing the plane around to illustrate the effect of doing just that. You saw the plane shudder? It wouldn't have happened if we had straightened up. It won't happen without FSRealistic either.
It`d be really dangerous to take off the 152 below 50 knots, I tend to teach my students to rotate it at 55 kts and climb 60 KIAS Vx, 70 KIAS Vy. For safety, it's not recommended to fly near the stall speed and at velocity of minimum control. To be honest, that's what I don`t like about this Simulator, all the good job they did with scenery is wasted with poor flight dynamics and flight characteristics. Take off and landing with cross wind is far from what it is in real life making even it harder to fly on the sim. Thanks for the video!
Any time I go anywhere near dangerous conditions I get comments like yours :) I was just showing the "FS Realistic" effects - which the strong winds highlighted. There's no way anybody in their right mind would fly in those conditions in real life :)
VR has officially killed any immersion outside of the VR headset for me. Watching people zooming and moving cameras in the most unrealistic way imaginable while talking about a piece of code that makes things more realistic is comical.
This needs a review by a real pilot. I have 25 years of experience flying in flight simulator, but I'm only a beginner flying real aircraft. Even I could see the mistakes the reviewer was making which would've greatly improved his ability to perform properly, and thus give a better review.
I remember learning to fly in the C-152 many years ago. With a left crosswind I can still hear my instructor telling me to stop the crab by using right rudder and dipping the left wing into the crosswind.

Always believed a slip was better than a crab. Had one day of nothing but crosswinds (in OK) where the student and I tried to see who could keep it on the upwind wheel longer.

The profiles can be shared with others - so in a way, it's always updating.
FSRealistic is a master piece every sim on earth needs!
I would like to see it arriving to Prepar3D in the near future :)
I think there are other solutions for P3D. I don't have it installed any more though, so can't really help.
15kts x-wind is actually over the limit (max demonstrated crosswind is 12kts for the C152), it's a lot of x-wind for such a light plane
Yes. I know. I was showing what FSRealistic would do while being thrown around.
@@jonbeckett Yeah sure, it's not illegal to land with more x-wind anyway. I just wanted to give some background for those who might not know :)

Never got the MFS, so many complaints about installation, don't need the headache
I've never had a problem with it. You tend to find that people that have problems with things have problems with everything.
It is absolutely must have product, enhances the immersion 100%
Completely agree.
if you have never been in a 172 it shakes more
FSRealistic is configurable :)
I used this with Flight sim X and it was nice but overpriced. Still overpriced. I wonder if this could be adapted to Star Citizen.
I don't think it's overpriced at all. The developer has spent a lot of time and effort working on it, and what it tries to do, it does very well.
I did like XPrealistic v2 for X plane 11 but I am reluctant to give them any more money now. I bought my XPrealistic on steam but they pulled it off Steam a short while back and left me with an unusable DLC add on that no longer works without an activation code. Not a good way to treat customers who are now out of pocket. I am sure FSrealistic is just as good in Microsoft flight simulator but shady business practices puts me off buying it.
Edit: should also note when you email this company they will ignore you and steam wont help either. It is what it is now can't do anything about it.
I've stopped using it. The updated they did to make the pilot walk around made the entire add-on incredibly unstable.
Airplanes shouldn't be landed while crabbed as the gear gets side-loaded and risks damage and collapse.
I've answered this again, and again, and again - I was throwing the plane around to illustrate the effect of doing just that. You saw the plane shudder? It wouldn't have happened if we had straightened up. It won't happen without FSRealistic either.
Smooth Landing?, He must train Ryanair Pilots.
Haha - probably :) Given the conditions it wasn't that bad though.
It`d be really dangerous to take off the 152 below 50 knots, I tend to teach my students to rotate it at 55 kts and climb 60 KIAS Vx, 70 KIAS Vy. For safety, it's not recommended to fly near the stall speed and at velocity of minimum control. To be honest, that's what I don`t like about this Simulator, all the good job they did with scenery is wasted with poor flight dynamics and flight characteristics. Take off and landing with cross wind is far from what it is in real life making even it harder to fly on the sim. Thanks for the video!
Any time I go anywhere near dangerous conditions I get comments like yours :) I was just showing the "FS Realistic" effects - which the strong winds highlighted. There's no way anybody in their right mind would fly in those conditions in real life :)
@@jonbeckett You did say "Don't really fly like this".
Interesting. Comment removed merely for having a different opinion, given in a respectful manner.
I wasn't aware I removed anything - UA-cam itself may have done it.
Repost it
VR has officially killed any immersion outside of the VR headset for me. Watching people zooming and moving cameras in the most unrealistic way imaginable while talking about a piece of code that makes things more realistic is comical.
I think I will pass..
Don't wait for the status - just start taxiing and it will change.
This needs a review by a real pilot. I have 25 years of experience flying in flight simulator, but I'm only a beginner flying real aircraft. Even I could see the mistakes the reviewer was making which would've greatly improved his ability to perform properly, and thus give a better review.
For the hundredth time - I threw the plane around to show what FSRealistic does - it was not a "proper" flight in any way, shape, or form :)
Yaw did NOTHING.
Cute. Xplane 12 is better.
:)
I have it and LOVE it.
I will admit - it's very, very good.
I had this software in X plane is the license transferable? Nice video your scenery package looks fantastic
No. You have to buy again. I had too. But it worths.
That's not a scenery package - that's stock flight simulator. Free. The entire world is like that or better. For free.
