xgalaxy posted:This looks awesome and I hope it takes off mostly because I hope it spurs on these sim racing companies to product stuff for flight sim enthusiasts. This is neat, but where FFB would really be helpful for flight controls is on the pitch axis, and unless I'm misunderstanding this would only have it on roll. The patents that were blocking FFB flight controls only recently expired. I imagine it will be a couple years before we see affordable consumer grade stuff. And if it follows the same arc as wheels it will be another several years before the affordable consumer grade stuff is actually really good quality. Hopefully enough of the development already done on wheels applies to shortcut that a bit. Edit: fixed typo

I think it will have to be a dedicated wheel base that supports moving the wheel in and out. If only to fully support crashing while driving an old car and have the steering wheel crush your rib cage.

The DC-10 was fly by cable, but still had a speed-sensitive load-feel system for the elevator control. It was heinously complex to work on and tune.

Natsuumi posted:My personal favorites are the following: It's worth mentioning that the Twin Otter is no longer available for sale anywhere. Other than that, the Black Square King Air and TBM are both good, and the Milviz PC-6 is also very well done. The Carenado Seneca and Mooney are both pretty solid products, and the AN-2 and DHC-4 from the Marketplace are also pretty fun, if a bit niche. There's also some very good 3rd party freeware mods that fix a lot of the issues on the default piston airplanes on flightsim.to, so you might want to look into those if you're on PC. azflyboy fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Nov 19, 2023 |

xgalaxy posted:Thanks for the suggestions. Asobo has said that they think the vast majority of addon aircraft will be compatible from the get go, and I don't have any reason to doubt that, since 2024 is pretty much just a refined version of 2020. Basically all of the aircraft in the last few posts are relatively basic "behind the scenes" (in terms of not running complex custom code and relying heavily on the basic MSFS SDK and systems), and the couple that don't aren't doing anything super complicated, so I think the worst case that's likely for them would be a short delay for the developers to fix something. It's also worth noting that the MSFS Marketplace is basically the 800lb gorilla for FS addon sales (developers have said it sells substantially more products than any other online shop), so it's pretty likely Asobo is making an effort to ensure Marketplace stuff works as-is when 2024 comes out. azflyboy fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Nov 19, 2023 |

I wouldn't be even the slightest bit worried about an addon from a reputable dev not working with 24, and even captainsim-tier shovelware will probably be fine. Not mentioned yet: The A2A Comanche is the absolute gold standard for piston GA add-ons, and the new FSReborn

I want to try the rewritten A320 neo in the new beta but the last two beta builds crash going into game when running on Proton, in any aircraft. It's my fault for running the sim in an unsupported configuration but I do rather hope that either Proton or MSFS gets fixed before the next SU goes out. EDIT: On the plus side I did get my terrain imagery back, six months after I lost it, thanks to the following method: https://www.protondb.com/app/1250410#YjWUYfOINq (Start up with Proton 6.3, it will instantly crash, switch back to a newer Proton, you'll be signed out of XBL and when you sign back in your terrain imagery will work) Sapozhnik fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Nov 19, 2023 |

GA stuff: I don't give a drat about opening doors, CB's popping, or random failures - I want something that feels nice, trims out easily (as best a PC sim can do, at least), sounds good, and asks that you treat it somewhat realistically. Not necessarily study level  but requires you to have at least glanced at the performance charts and know what the red knobbed lever does.At approx 1 zillion hours into the A2A Comanche since it came out, I think it's by far the best GA plane in the sim right now. Also spend a lot of time in the SWS Floatiak when I'm feelin' fancy and the Got Friends Wilga is my go-to for loving around. I believe the Wilga is on sale right now. I have a pretty nice Honeycomb yoke/throttle (+ custom stuff) setup but I kinda want to get a VKB stick just for the Wilga, it's that fun to goof around in. EDIT: The SWS PC12 is due to be released any day now, which should be a great option for business class turboprop enthusiasts. And let's not sleep on the WBSim/JPLogistics C152 mod. It's a free mod that's based on the work they did on their (paid) C172 mod[1]. I fly this all the time when doing short VOR to VOR trips, patterns, or just spend a chill hour putting around the neighbourhood. You can find it in the downloads section of their discord: https://discord.gg/kR2ZfgXpCu [1] The WBSim 172 is also excellent but perhaps a bit pricey since you need the steam gauge Skyhawk from the Deluxe version of MSFS. EDIT: Forgot!! The Black Square mods for the Bonanza and Baron are super good too. Rot fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Nov 21, 2023 |

Last time I flew the Carenado Seneca V I was going on my impressions based on flying the Seneca II years ago. Now I’ve got about 100 recent hours in it and I’m flying it most days. I might do a re-review on my day off if anyone is interested.

Everything they do is great. I can't personally vouch for the TBM850 because the FSR500 fills that niche for me, but I have an absurd number of hours in the Caravan, King Air, Bonanza, and Baron. Had the center console (power stand/podium/whatever you call the thing the throttle prop and condition levers are on) flood light in the Caravan fail on me the other day and it didn't just not work when I tried to turn it on, it briefly came on and made a loud "POP" sound. Neat little detail.

Bringing back .. Knobby buttons chat: I got the Razer Streamdeck to try with MSFS. (Rebranded Loupedeck Live but $50 less). And it's really nice, Probably not $200 nice but it's cool to be able to set alt/vs etc with dials, you can use dials for radio numbers as well (laid out weird) The real reason it's most likely going to go back is the following: I wanted to use it for more than just flight sim but their software cannot differentiate between "L-Ctrl and R-Ctrl (or other modifiers). I had some wishes for doing things in other games like Arma require L/R alt/shift etc. I just ordered the Elgato Stream deck which has less buttons (but they're physical buttons) so we will see how well that plays with MSFS, (it does use left/right alt etc) and seems to be able to handle a little more complexity when it comes to scripting the buttons. . I'm pretty sure my impressions are solely for MSFS it'll the Streamdeck will be better since there's 6 knobs vs 3 and 12 buttons vs 8. But we'll see how I feel once it gets here.

I fly a DA40NG IRL, and I’ve been using the DA40NGx mod for a while. It doesn’t seem to be getting regular updates, but it gets the default MSFS NG close enough for it to be useful for IFR training.

My current stick has some play in the center, but not so much I can't just deadzone it out. I love my VKB stick and think it's much better than just about any non Virpil option out there for sticks. Have had zero issues with it except for games that just don't recognize all the buttons on it + my throttle without joystick gremlin or something similar.
