East Texas in the Extra FS2020


Recommended Posts

We take off from Marshall, TX on a brief flight to Center, TX. This is the East Texas forestland or Piney Woods. That is U.S. Highway 96 coming into Center. "landing" (falling) into Center Municipal.

BTW, that last shot, I get the aircraft all lined up for a landing shot, turn it over to AI (AI flies in the Showcase mode), and AI drops it like a brick. Fortunately it survived a few seconds, only to have AI rip a wing off exiting the runway. AI is a little weak in the ground handling department.

Thanks David! The problem is, in FS2020, if you stay in control, the shot is all cluttered with gauges and readouts and the detail is diminished. As it was, I had just turned it over, the menu bar is still there, it fades out quickly so you can grab a shot, but not quick enough in this case. AI is sort of OK (C- grade) on many aircraft, but it flies the Extra really poorly. The Extra handflies really nicely, but AI does all sots of weird things with this aircraft.
