The return of Meigs Field in Chicago almost made me fall from my chair! Our starting airport since the 1980's versions!
Meigs Field is so iconic. A few months ago i bought the Chicago Scenery from Drzewiecki Design and the Meigs Field Airport from Guillermo Zulueta. I started there at a nice Dawn Weather Setting and was instantly thrown back 34 years or so to the FS3 times but with breathtaking visuals that made my eyes wet with tears from the memories.
Brings back so many childhood memories. My dad printing the fs manual at his work, a massive pack of paper.. looking at a green monochrome screen and taking off from Meigs countless of times flying with a keyboard, then dreaming at night how flight simulators could look if only we had better computers. Those dreams have become a reality now. ❤️
Well didnt the first MSFS have Yakima WA as its home base?
I noticed this too. Awesome to see Meigs back on the map!
Yeah, suprising that any mention of this was left out of this video, given that was the iconic default airport within much of the 40 years of FS.
Surprised this didn’t include the Easter egg where you can play the original MSFS games from the DOS era on the PFD of the DA-62.
Sweet! Now I can fly in Chicago while flying in Chicago when using the DA-62! Meta flying!
How the hell dya do that 🤔
@@ryanparker4996 flip the ELT switch to on
Correction: the iniB A310 is already in the update, the marketplace free item is the upgrade of textures and a full cabin.
Same with the DC-3, except I believe the Marketplace DC-3 has more versions of it, like a cargo plane and so on.
The marketplace free item must be for pc only since its not on xbox
that's not an update. is an enhancement pack since the initial release.
The pack doesn't exist on Xbox aren't it?
No it doesnt exist on xbox
The DC-3 is a very pleasant surprise. I am impressed.
Turns out that hundreds of hours of flying Hueys in DCS prepped me to be able to land a Cabri G2 on my driveway in FS2020. 👍
lol 😂
Unfortunately in MSFS you simply dont fell heli like in DCS. 600% RPM while trying autorotation and i dont hear rotor. In DCS you hear when rotor is under stress.
@@888Huberto888 Not to mention the whole cabin shaking. :)
For me gliders have been the highlight of this update ! A good challenge once you go out in the open without the thermal visualization!
How do you turn thermal visualization on?
@@caaront When you,re flying it's through the "Meteo" options where you choose the time of day, clouds covering, etc. It's a the bottom of the window you can enable / disable it with a slide button :)
I spent 95% of my time in FS2004 flying the Cessna Grand Caravan Amphibian, and I really miss it. Given the attention that the water's getting in the game nowadays, even more so.
Same here! This is my FAVORITE plane, and they STILL have not included it!😢 We should make some noise about it!
@ObsidianAnt you need to check the In Sim marketplace more often. Pilotable boats/watercraft have been available from the In-Sim Marketplace for over 1 year already. When the first speedboat came out, and you did a video on it, it also launched on the Mircrosoft In-Sim Marketplace within a few weeks. I refuse to buy from 3rd party stores so I check it regularly.
For religious reasons? Also, third party shops are more flexible, so they sell addons with more functionality (weapons and whatever else Microsoft is fussy about).
@@getsideways7257 Eh, weapons are for actual combat simulators. Besides, having something already in the MS Store easily allows you to keep track of updates when they come. Lots more convienent
@@georgewhitworth9742 A sim is just a shell where you run flight models in - you don't have to be (again) religious about whether this is "an actual" combat flight simulator or "not actual, but many people still want to fly friggin' fighter jets... just like they do it in real life - and you can even buy one yourself!"
The updates argument is also weak at best, since I'm more than sure it takes a long while for the updates to get approved/deployed on the Marketplace.
@@getsideways7257 let him buy where he wants (As long as he doesn't buz captainsim).
Although you can't deny that third party stores have great addons that the marketplace lacks, you also can't deny that someone needs to give Asobo their money. The longer people buy from the marketplace the longer the game will stay in service and be developed.
3:24 notice the ad for Microsoft Flight Simulator 98 on one of the buildings? I am sure there are other billboards with other old versions of the game.
Visiting the real H4 in OR is an amazing experience and ai recommend anyone going to see it make sure to do a cockpit tour. So worth it!
MSFS could also double as a great ship simulator with the detail of the water !
That’s not a bad idea, it would be a dream come true there is no ship simulators at all.. it would me amazing so hopefully, they did add a cruise ship or something for like 15 dollars
There is a boat you gan get and it a good price. It is a small boat but fun.
You really wanna cruise thru the ocean in a straight line for WEEKS??? Would that be fun?
@@thegreatpennywise3006 Nautis, Ship Simulator Realistic, Ship Simulator Extremes, there's a lot of ship sims. And you can buy boats for MSFS2020. For some reason no one is making freeware boats.
@@redwatch1100 I have never even heard about it. Is it only for PC? If it is I’m gonna have to start getting one
I was not looking forward to Helicopters, but decided to try one in VR.... 4 Hrs later...I'm blown away. Spent more time flying around Los Angeles and landing at the top of the highest sky scraper in LA at Sunrise clear skies. what a view! definitely going to go around and check out other large cities. Also the new planes are amazing! a little wonky in the aerodynamics in the curtis jenny maybe but all other are great. VR also got smoother for me... Best update yet!
@Woulve 666 CPU bound?
@Woulve 666 I have a 3070 and it’s able to feed my Varjo Aero. What issues are you having that make VR unplayable? It can be a pain to set up but it’s not impossible.
@Woulve 666 wow you guys are rocking much better specs. I have a laptop with an i7 and an RTX 2070. I'm using DLSS on quality with clouds and windshield effects and aliasing on max but everything else low or med. I actually haven't seen the FPS. But it is really smooth after the update. Like my scenery before if I looked out the window there was a slight stutter as it passes by. But since the update it smoothly cruises on by passed me.
Guess I should say I'm also streaming wirelessly to my quest 2 using virtual desktop. As the oculus air cast sucks and freezes.
@Woulve 666 You need to do some serious research. VR should be sweet as with a 3090ti lol. Have a look at Pie in the Sky Tours for some good VR settings tips. I am playing using a 3080 12 GB and VR is amazing. I could never go back to flat screen flying.
11:25 am, I had 8 hrs of good sleep, ate a great breakfast, 8 seconds into the video and I am already sleepy. You have such a soothing voice, too soothing for me, I'll fall asleep in latest 2-3 mins.
The IGS approach to Kai Tak is one of the most iconic approaches on flight sim. I remember back in the FS2004 days always doing landings there with the PMDG 747-400.
A great round up thankyou! :)
Choppers were a little tricky on Xbox until I mapped some controls for rotor trim. That helped a lot and meant I didn't have to put so much pressure on the left stick.
Are you using the preset Microsoft provided in the bindings settings? If so is that feature not set by default on that preset?
Would be awesome if they could implement train simulation into the game. The track data is already there, it would only take updating those textures... They could even allow one to put the sim into a "train sim" or "boat sim" or "flight sim" mode, in which it focuses more on making those textures and objects at a higher detail than would otherwise be needed if not using. Those days are coming I'm sure, may be a while but I see it happening.
I can see MSFS being used as a base to make a great train sim and boat sim
The boats were available in the marketplace before this update.
Love Kai Tak. Spent more hours than I care to admit during my frequent visits to Hong Kong watching landings on the chequerboard approach.
Usable boats have been around for ages in MSFS. And the A310 is available by default the "Enhanced" version with cabin is the one in the marketplace. Good video though Ant 😍
Glad fixed wings brothers can get a taste of helos. I fly those for work and even tough I’ve tried Cessnas and gliders, the visual and sensorial experience has no comparison. Enjoy 😊
I didn't know about Kai Tek! It's been a long time since I simmed into that airport.
A310 & DC-3 has a ENCHANCED 4k texture pack for free on marketplace. This is for PC only
glad to see VHHX back!
All 4 legacy airports are fantastic, I wouldn't have just mentioned Kai Tak but that is in a pretty cool location. But how could you have not been surprised about Meigs?
I realised I have seen your gamertag flying around New Zealand before. Now I know it was you!
I wish ffb joysticks were still around! With the choppers would be amazing!
There's a gajillion of FFB2s still around and I wish there was official FFB support in the sim as it is the case with almost any other one... but I'd love to see new FFB hardware as well ofc.
I own a couple of MS Sidewinder FFS. They’re quite “chunky” on feedback and not all that great. Haptic gloves with VR would be better.
To test the choppers I dusted off my old MS Sidewinder 2 FF. It is still so good! Try and get your hands on a used one. I got mine used and have put 7+ years on it. Still works with no issues.
@@Josue_mej I bought mine when i was still at school and X-Wing came out.
@@Josue_mej I bought mine in early 2003 and I literally daily drive it - well, almost. There's been quite a few days where I wasn't flying at all. But the fact it's still good speaks for itself*. The only thing that broke after like 8-9 months was the rudder axis and I have a second one with the exact same problem. Solved it by getting rudder pedals instead of grabbing a 3rd stick...
* Same goes for my MS Digital Media Pro keyboard which was just 30 bucks and still rocks. Microsoft hardware from back then is just top notch...
The only reasons I would want to upgrade my stick would be more buttons/hats, more precision (that thing has 2048 positions per axis, modern hardware has 16k or even 32k) and the possibility to extend the whole thing... I'd want to get the Brunner CLS-E, but that's not really my pay check grade, sadly.
I liked the Wright Brothers free plane included
So Flight Simulator is now also Boat Simulator. How long before it's also Train Simulator? They already have the geography modeling, and Bing Maps probably has all the rail data.
As an airliner enthusiast in flight sim since FS95, airliner add-on fidelity (or simulation details) are usually set by Microsoft's default plane.
The FS95's 737-400 is pretty basic, it has Cessna systems, but with rocket engine, controls that manipulates it like planes, and autopilot that roughly controls it like sky trains on sky rails. Most of add on planes are like this, they either copy Microsoft's default flight dynamic files and minimise system implementation to "default level" or slightly tweak it to give "approximate feeling" for example, you want Dc-10 to feel somewhat "heavy" and thus the developer make the controls a bit sluggish.
And then Dreamfleet 2000 gave us the legendary 737-400 with some limited FMC functions. The payware add-on took over the standard and continues all the way to PMDG 737NG in 2003, which gave us all the tools to complete a "proper commercial flight routine". You won't get yelled at when flying on VATSIM for not following the SID since the plane either have it in the FMC, or the performance flight dynamics is real enough for real departure path to be flown without having to treat it like fighter jet. Finally we have the Level-D 767-300ER, that gave us complete failure simulations, turning FS9 into somekind of desktop "Level-D" simulator.
Then come the FSX airliners, for the first time we have other systems like the APU - implemented across FSX default planes like the 737-800, A321, and 747-400. Other than that, this is still a pretty rudimentary plane that doesn't allow you to complete proper full flight.
The term "study level" is brough in by combat simmers, those folks who play DCS or Falcon 4.0 or Il-2 series. It is misleading, since they are treating the sim as "studying tool" to compare the theoretical advantage of F-16 and MiG-29 for instance. Then the term is re-appropriated to illustrate high fidelity sim ability for its users to "study the actual plane" - kind of like unofficial or unsanctioned training tool.
Some will require "study level" to give you failures, but many would feel it is suffice if they simulate every single nook & cranny of the systems, others would go by PMDG standards: more than enough systems simulated to accomodate all regular flight situations and scenarios.
For people having loadin issues turn off internet before loading then turn it back on after the game is loaded to the menu if you want online functionality.
Kai Tak you say? Cool, now all I need is a mod to replace the park with the Walled City.
All good stuff this Sim Update11, However did not mention much for DX12? It still says "beta" in the game menu.
what graphics card and res for this video? it's best fps I've seen and looks awesomely real.
Is the (now defunct) Edmonton, Alberta City Airport as well as Ottawa’s Rockcliffe Airbase included in Flight Simulator? Thanks
They brought missions back!? YES!!!!!! Now all that is left is a Greece world update, And I will buy it.
The content in this update is fantastic. That being Said I’ve had a bit of a bad surprise with the quality of the textures in the cockpit of the A310 on Xbox. Really hoping they fix it
It sucks. Lol Gruman has no radio beaver won't respond to Pilot Radio AI. They dumped a bunch of crap on us. Could of been good.
I saw another comment say that you have to download free better textures for it in the marketplace
@@ksull72487 Nonsense. The Beaver is getting rave reviews regardless of a little Radio AI thingus. The 310 is much better on PC also. Upgrade.
@@DoctorShocktor PC upgrades are expensive.
@@FloatingErgonaut But worth it
Does the Monsoon version work? The ILS isn't capture (and doesn't show up on the flight display) for me
Surprised you did not mention the return of Meigs!
Worth picking up the Anniversary version via the game pass?
Another suprise is in Xbox camera ...VR option in the mouse control setup? Hope it comes to Xbox via quest3
I use co-pilot a lot for startup, ATC, taxi-ing and flying. One thing I found.... The DC3 just goes around in circles when taxi-ing, The Goose bounces left and right on the runway and cannot take off - It also has 1 engine running at half speed and the other at quarter speed, so crashed. The other plane I tried... (can't remember the name off the top of my head) WWi American Bi-Plane just starts up and sits there. Maybe the airports I used were to blame although I had used one before with no problem. I think further testing is needed by me.
I've had the problem you have with the Goose. Regarding the Curtis Jenny - that's the WWI plane - I haven't had the issue you have, but it's hard to fly. I tend to need to use lots of rudder, and it turns /slow/, as in, it flies like shit. But it has character for that reason, lol
Speaking of options, any chance it will eventually transition to a Hiking Simulator? For those of us who don't enjoy walking through snow 🙂
I was thinking we could also have a Work Simulator mode, where i can sit in from of a monitor all day moving data around.....while sitting in front of a monitor moving data around.
Let’s be honest, the prospects are endless for this sim purely because alluva sudden we have the whole world before us in just ONE simulator. Who knows what could pop up tomorrow on it, trains on rails that go everywhere even underground and through tunnels?!? Nuclear submarines could well be part of the play too someday.
Xbox downloaded it and I had an extra Boeing plane in my collection. Had a had for both pilots and a klm livery. Lovely to fly something 100. Game crashed and the plane had gone? Any ideas this maybe a future freebie. Many of the controls did not work. It was amazing to fly
It was probably the 787 you got - it's called the Dreamliner - from the Deluxe edition, I suspect. It was most likely a bug; I know for instance that on Xbox Cloud sometimes when you sign in it gives you the deluxe or premium edition planes like the 787 lol.
I'm experiencing quite massive stutters when flying over populated areas after the update. Running a 3080, i9 10900K and 32 GB RAM. I usually don't have any issues running it decently. Happened after the update. Anyone else experiencing anything similar?
The servers have been shitting themselves for the past 48 hrs.
Already came across a bug in the A310. When entering a route, as I was selecting a STAR the FMC's keyboard just quit responding. No STAR selected, no page change, no INIT, no F-PLN, no PERF, nothing. The rest of the airplane responded normally to mouse, keyboard and joystick inputs, it was just the FMC that died.
I think there's some bugs with the FMC right now? I've heard users mention the FMC causing crashes and stuff on the subreddit, I might be wrong though!
Does anyone has an issue with the A310? when applying rudder on the ground it veers to the opposite direction even though the rudder pedals in the cockpit and the control surfaces deflect to the correct direction.
Those still having fps issue with the a310. There is a bug with the a310. Namely with the WASM module not generating the required cache on first loading. First time loading should take 10minutes or more but majority loaded into the aircraft in less than 2 minutes. As a result nearly 90% of users do not have any valid cache file apart from "work" folder in the a310 dll package folder directory. Issue seems to have been pointer out that Asobo may have given a beta debug version of the a310 to most servers. Frame wise the a310 fps should be above fenix as tested by inibuild own staffs.
We would have to wait for asobo to reissue a hotfix that will instruct the a310 to callout the WASM module to build the cache correctly which unfortunately for a marketplace aircraft may be slow.
A310 was installed on Xbox series x with the update
What city were you flying over @ 3:40
Is that Ted Stevens in this first clip with the a310?
Also the boat was available before the update….
STILL NO VIDEOS ABOUT THE SERVER CONNECTION PROBLEMS. Personally i cant play the game at all, keeps disconnecting me from the server even though i am connected to the internet.
Just tried out the new update and fell in love with it. It's the game that keeps giving on Game Pass.
In press release they said that they added 15 glider airports. Is there a list of it somewhere?
You see them on the Worldmap marked with a green star i think.
@@berzerk1450 Thanks, I'll check it out.
Also you can filter the airports to just show glider fields on the map. It also helps to set the time to nighttime to find the little dots for airports without special icons more easily.
Anyone else In here use neofly with neopad? It seems after the update that neopad toolbar does not work or show up at all in game.
“You have to download (the A310) from the in SIM marketplace”. Where do I find this?
Reading in the comments, it looks like the A310 interior details are not available for the XBox One. Is this correct? Thanks
there are a suprising amount of bugs too
What I found surprising was how much it totally tanked my frame rate 😢
How do you do a winch launch in free flight? I can only seem to get tow planes as the launch method.
When you select the glider, there's a menu point on the left side where you can choose that.
@@CakePrincessCelestia brilliant thank you
if i get this does it come with the game ?
I think helicopters are not quite done, something seems off... plus the previous "fake" choppers obviously don´t work
with the new heli pads, which is a shame, too ... but that´s all stuff that time (and fixing) will heal.
yeah, the helicopters fly like drones, far too stable to be a challenge
study level only includes the maddog and fenix
Series X: The Bell 407 has something wrong with the rudder. Left rudder input either does nothing or goes right. Right rudder works. The Guimbal heli flies beautifully. All assists off.
It's a bug u have to fix by yourself by pressing multiple times right rudder until it get fix.
@@andyozar6089 I'll try that.
does anybody know how to change the voice of ATC? or the pilot?
when Boeing 737 800 will be accessible on xbox????
The A310 is probably study level in that it can help you study. But it's not accurate enough to be the replacement for a real official Airbus simulator.
'Study-level' when it comes to flight sims is mostly a synonym for 'high fidelity'.
@@FloatingErgonaut Yeah. Personally I'd say anything that isn't officially certified as study material for real pilots should not be called study level. But then again I've heard some pilots say that these highly detailed simulations can help by giving context while studying to become a pilot.
@@NickyNiclas Most pilots who play these sims on CZcams I've seen take a stance on sims that says you can use them for learning procedured and such, but that they in no way can replace actual training, and that they can lead to you developing bad habits if you misuse them. Basically they say flight sims are good for studying some things. I've heard instructors speak more on this and they seem to feel positively about flight sims as long as they're used carefully and with awareness of their weaknesses and potential for teaching bad habits.
@@FloatingErgonaut agreed!
It’s clear you’re not playing in the Series X with that level of fidelity.
Boats! What!
Fix the green roads yet? 😢
on the xbox, the assisted controller sensitivity in the assistance options menu, might be worth testing the helicopters on.
Some nice additions but in typical form for Microsoft since the update I'm getting terrible stuttering and frame drops where it was as running fast and as smooth as butter before :-(
Nonsense. Tens of thousands playing right now with no major issues. You have an issue.
Hi Tim, at risk of being told i'm talking "nonsense", I have the same. Been using the sim since day 1, first time ever I've had stuttering and tanked FPS for no reason I can see. Sometimes its ok, but then all of a sudden it tanks which makes me think its downloads, but never been a problem before so perhaps they are managed differently now. I cant narrow it down yet.
The Update is a Slight Disappointment on Xbox Due to a Bug that makes The Helicopters Unflyable
Here is the fix that has been confirmed to work by many people: Go to the realism options and switch your flight model to "Legacy" and enable all the realism features. Start a short flight and the helicopter should work properly now. Then stop the flight and switch the flight model back to "Modern". Now the helicopters should keep working as intended.
Hercules in mine has no wheels 😂 few irritating bugs in the game
this update broke my mouse settings
I can't fly helicopters without wild oscillating
Who'll get the Titanic and sail from South Hampton to New York first.... If it's available.... 🤔
Anyone else having trouble with the A310 operation?
Even with assistance my helicopter is banking left to right violently.
Any thoughts?
While I don’t know why the helicopter would be doing that with assistance options on, it’s natural for helicopters to ‘spin’ after takeoff if you don’t manage them correctly because of the way the propellers are moving. Maybe just either restart your gaming platform or game and see if that works
Are you on a gamepad? It's the same for many on gamepad, including myself. It seems to work much better on joystick and dedicated hardware but many don't have that and the software is designed for gamepad. The throttle and collective seem to be bugged out and unresponsive (you can see it in the settings) and the assists don't help. It's not about practice, or helicopters being hard (easy mode is supposed to fix that), it's that these aspects are currently bugged, whether using the bespoke control option or another. We may have to wait for a patch.
yep, same, with no input from me the helicopter always banks heavily to the right, whatever settings I change.
Try being gentle with the controlsif you aren't, maybe there's something wrong with the game making the assists not work when you're too quick on em or something. Just speculating, but give it a try.
Apparently there is bug affecting some people. Here is the fix that has been confirmed to work by many people: Go to the realism options and switch your flight model to "Legacy" and enable all the realism features. Start a short flight and the helicopter should work properly now. Then stop the flight and switch the flight model back to "Modern". Now the helicopters should keep working as intended. Just to be clear, just in case some don't know: the Modern flight modern should always be used, otherwise there will be issues with almost all aircraft. The Legacy flight model is only for FSX aircraft that people might want to use with MSFS.
Not just consoles with helicopter issues but PC as well if you use a gamepad. Joystick and dedicated hardware users seem better off but the software is designed to work on gamepad first and foremost. From my experience it seems like the collective and throttle are bugged, whatever config you use and whether it's easy mode or not. It's not about practice or helis being hard to fly, it just isn't working for many. Hopefully they can patch it really quickly.
maybe its time to ditch the controller??
@@DrunkenGuitarGuy What a silly comment.
@@Elwaves2925 no, a silly comment is suggesting that a flight simulator was designed to work with controllers! sorry but controllers are an after thought to please the kiddies and sell a few more copies!
Controllers are not the first and foremost element for this flight sim, but obviously important to MS for their Xbox sales. But you can also get joysticks, yokes and throttle for Xbox. Go do it.
@@DrunkenGuitarGuy You're definitely acting silly. There's nothing wrong with expecting a developer to fix problems with their software. More importantly, maybe the guy has perfectly good reasons for using a controller.
Boats... OK. What's next? Maybe semi-trucks? Trains? Farm tractors?..... PC components? ....... goats?!?!?!
I used to be a flight sim dev. Not MSFS, though. Strangest “airplane” I implemented was a drivable bulldozer. It was for a forest fire fighting training sim. It wasn’t meant to be operated by the people being trained (who would mostly be in king airs high above) but by “roleplayers” whom the trainees would direct. Thus, it didn’t have to be super realistic. You steered it with a joystick-forward-backward for overall motion, and sideways to turn (and it could turn in place). It could also destroy tree instances to create firebreaks.
Actually forest fire fighting might make for a good MSFS addon. After all, you can already see the smoke from the wildfires out west, but you can’t put them out. It could be something like the air racing addon (one of the other sims I worked on with the same engine was a Reno air racing sim).
@@jasonlescalleet5611 Wow. I was being silly referencing Goat Simulator, but that's actually potentially really cool and a great idea!
@@tomdchi12 msfs is the goat of simulators
I'd love to have horses.
They actually could add boats, I assume the physics wouldn't be too hard to at least simulate/get feeling 'right'. This game would be a really cool boat sim lol
this is a certified hood classic
If only there wasn't a "connection issue" popup message going off constantly that's freezing the controls everytime...
Strange I got this too. Not yesterday but 4 times today. Once on short final...
The servers were completely buggered. They still might be; the game was even taken off the Xbox cloud service as a result for a few hours. It'll probably resolve itself in a few days.
@@FloatingErgonaut That's what I was expecting the reason to be. There's just so many people coming back to the sim because of the gliders and helos, the servers really have a hard time keeping up. Basically like every patch day in any big MMO. "Never play on patch day"...
@@CakePrincessCelestia Yup!
I'd be surprised if the shit worked in VR
Jst got a hit of hypeomine
and the flight log is still broken
The A310 is definitely not study level, I started the A310 from cold start without any assistance in the cockpit and I hardly know what im pressing half the time.
Well, I did start up the Mi-8 in DCS back in the day without knowing what I'm doing either, so maybe that just means we both know a thing or two about aircraft in general at this point.
I am not sure what you mean by that. If you don't do things in the right sequence then it definitely won't start. Study level means all the buttons and switches realistically do something that affects the systems/aircraft in the sim. It's not 100% study level, but it's pretty damn close enough for a good realism experience. I would advise you check out the official tutorials on the MSFS youtube channel made by iniBuilds.
@@ukmaxi Agree.
And btw, the a310 is not the hardest aircraft to “turn on”. Study level means that much of the cockpits buttons work and behave like in the real aircraft, same with the systems. I bet in a real a310 you could also start the aircraft by turning on the 3 batteries…
The aircraft I maintained for the USAF if it didn't require an external cart most people could fumble their way through getting power applied and possibly cranking engines. It was pretty logical. Battery, enable external power, put it on the Bus you wanted, turn off battery, enable fuel flow, enable external air, throw the igniters, and engines are turning... That's not hard to think through and even simpler if you have an APU and have any inkling about what it does and what it is for.
Now I do have a question for Xbox Series X users. Does anybody have an issue when they spawn in the helicopter and it wants to spin in One direction by itself without using the rotors at all ? The thing will go up but will spin in One directions and then it just makes me crash to the ground because I swear to God I'm doing 150 miles per hour on circles like doing donuts in the sky lol. Also does anyone know if the Microsoft flight simulator 2020 will ever get a 60 FPS cap or can the simulator just not run anything over 30 I do believe it runs at 4K but not 100% for sure. It's a great game but very sluggish. This game would be so beautiful if they could get it to run on the Xbox series X at a nice 60 frames per second
First thing i would do is map the tail rotor buttons. And there is a weird bug that makes your tail rotor pedals stick in position instead of ruturning to neutral. You can map them to your airplane button maps too and it wont effect the planes.
Check your cockpit in helicopter and look at tail rotor pedals. Make sure its not acting funny.
I don't want these airports that do not exist anymore, i hope we can turn them off. ( it should be an opt in not out).
My papaa drives a rolls royce
Microsoft Ship simulator
It would be cool if MS/Asobo expands the MSFS as a "plattform" to simulate more stuff, like orbital spaceflight as in the free simulator Orbiter 2010/16.
How could you not mention the return of Meigs Field... Legit, it was the only one of 3 airports on the original few versions and the default starting airport for over 20 years...
I didn't even notice it was back.
@@redwatch1100 yeah on the official flight simulator 2020 CZcams page they had a pretty nice overview of all the changes and that was one of the ones they highlighted. Same for the Steam community page. It showed a picture of the airport montaged with the graphics for the airplane from the 1980 release

I call it: the 40th anniversary downgrade update. On xbox
Press the ELT Button in the DA 62, and thank me later
These mod makers are insane. Cool mods. Not worth those prices
-2:57 this might seem like nothing, but this is probably the biggest evidence of a change in strategy of msfs so far. It shows that microsoft recognise the potential of msfs to become the "world simulator" (if not msfs mostly the successor of msfs that is).
-Think of it like this. If they start to natively support boats, cars, and can walk around the airport perimeter, you pretty much get GTA IV experience on a world scale.
-Add a few more years, and you can render GTA VI worldwide (using satellite ai, photorealistic cities, streetview ai (they would have to copy this from google street view), and elevation data)
this links to the theory that the "metaverse", simulation, and gaming industry will basically merge into one over time.
-The reason why we get so much for free isn't necessarily because their making money. This update clearly loses Microsoft money. In economics, you will not lose money for no reason. Venture capital is the answer. However, this only makes sense if msfs will grow in the future. While msfs cannot grow any further, it poses a puzzle piece in one of the biggest shake ups in the coming 20 years. The era of VR. Microsofts move towards VR.
I think this game will definitely cause some changes. Already Microprose are doing something similar - they're making a world sim type thing which is a sandbox type thing. Kinda like Arma. Look it up if you're up for it, it's pretty cool!
