Hmm 787-10 is very buggy. Throttle control stops working after a while, auto pilot won't stop oscillating and definitely can't stand pausing the game. (plane goes all haywire into a death spiral after unpausing) and sometimes it stops responding to all flight inputs. When you try to unplug the flight stick and plug it back in (thought it might help) the game simply crashes.

I also cannot figure out how to zoom the map making lining up for the airport very difficult, if it isn't hard enough while controlling speed by stopping and restarting the engines cause no throttle control. Can't even move the throttle level in the cockpit.

How much do these planes cost, I crashed 6 already :)

Btw it seemed live weather wouldn't work but it only works if you select live weather from the flight conditions screen. Although it still doesn't look like outside lol. It's definitely a work in progress.

Crashed another one, too buggy.

Congrats

on launching Flight Simulator! We'll see you just over the horizon.

Yup. Though it would be way cooler if it was during the PD13 biker rally.

Maybe try Long Point? Could you make it all the way across to Erie, PA?

Have you "buzzed the tower" yet Maverick?

Finally managed to land the 787-10, twice :) Short hop, Brantford to Hamilton and back. Stay below 10,000 ft, don't touch the map, visual flight only, throttle kept working! Not easy in the largest plane lol. No clue what the thrust reverser is mapped to, it's hard to find anything in settings. I can set it to reverse thrust in the cockpit (used it to back up the plane to turn around in Hamilton) yet no time to switch camera views, zoom in on the throttle controls and move 4 levers with the mouse while keeping the plane straight without looking. Need a co-pilot! (Brakes still stopped the plane, almost in time, on the short runway at Brantford, ended up in the grass at the end off the runway, passengers were fine)

Fun but I really miss the Garmin nav gps screen where you could set waypoints, zoom in and out with clear display how the runways are aligned and where to approach. I feel like I'm flying blind in FS 2020. The nifty landing lights indicating your glide slope are missing as well. The graphics are amazing but in all other areas it's still a big step back from FSX.

You can make it anywhere since you can select unlimited fuel :)

I'll go back to the smaller planes later, too many bugs in the big ones and nearly impossible to make a decent approach without proper working instruments.

I can't wait to play this game in 2030 when hardware can do it justice! By then we will be halfway through Kanye's first term as President and all be experiencing #2028vision.

To find the question for 42.

This game is ridiculously good looking. I took the Shock Ultra out for a spin at 7pm following the Grand River to my house.

Real time and weather.

Following the river at 20 knots


Duck under the bridge!

(Don't mind the sloping water lol)

This thing can land anywhere, on the baseball field next to my house

Ok, in reality there are fences there.

So land in the street instead!

Game over when I tried to taxi into the driveway, too many trees in the way :) AI cars don't collide luckily.

Much better suited to smaller planes. They'll iron out the bugs with the airliners, the smaller work very well.

The graphics seem great for the scale, but it seems that when you get close (at least your screenshots) it doesn't have that much detail and textures are simple (both understandable due to the size of the simulation).

Yep, lower than 200 feet and it starts getting pretty rough. The grass next to the runway looks pretty good but building textures are plain.

It's night time now

Landing at night, street lights are nothing but floating light points. Looks great from 200 feet up, rough from the ground. It's a flight sim, not ready for truck simulator (yet)

ugh can you imagine this + the multiplayer mod from ETS2 or ATS + the money quests
