Hi all,
I've now and then played quite some FSX over the years, and have recently switched to MSFS2020.
Let's start positive by saying that the game looks truely amazing!
What somehow bothers me, though, is that for some reason the sim feels more unfriendly to the "leisure pilot". I'll just define leisure pilot as somehow who just wants to quickly get into the air and doesn't want to all the configuration, navigational planning, using the FMCU, etc.
In FSX I could easily get into the air with an airliner, especially using autopilot and the built-in GPS device (also in the 737, for example). It was easy to give a Direct-To command and also activate an ILS approach. Direct GPS would take you to the start of the approach. Also the built-in map was easy to open during a flight and look up where you wanted to go. Camera's were easy to use also via the right mouse-button menu.
For some reason this all feels more inconvenient in FS2020. The flying and sensitive controls, the cameras/views, "easy" navigation. Autopilot doesn't really do what I want.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong or I haven't found out all of the neat tricks.
Is this a feeling that is mine alone or is this more widely experienced?
Does someone have tips or tricks to make flying more pleasant for a "leisure pilot" in FS2020?
Thanks for sharing your ideas!
