chicagorandy Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I took two flights this morning in my little C152X - One off a listed tiny grass strip airport in the middle of peaceful Amish Country in N/E Indiana to fly over my brother's home, the other off a listed tiny grass strip airport in the N/E Illinois Chain O Lakes region to overfly my son's new lake home on Pistakee Lake. Took some screen shots that 'looked like' they were taken from my cell phone in a real C152. Positively stunning recreations. The plane flew and reacted to the ground terrain quite realistically IMHO both in sound and in handling characteristics. Also IMHO light years ahead of my FSX-SE sim.

pugilist2 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I absolutely agree! Once more third-party scenery and aircraft are available, I do not see myself purchasing anything else for X plane or P3D.

marcg11 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I feel the same way - its not perfect but I cant go back to FSX-SE with these visuals....I know some have a greater issue with MSFS 2020....but as you quote says...

lotusteve Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 iam new to flight sims and this is my first one. (i really like the sim.) i can now take off and land the 152, its been a struggle to learn what to do but i got there in the end. i would love to take off from my local airport which is doncaster/sheffield in the uk and fly over my house, but at them moment i dont know how to find where my house is and fly to it. it would be nice if i could find my heading location from the airport and just fly a straight line over my house..

w64jif Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 lotusteve, One option to find your home is to download LittleNavMap, free software for navigation, flight planning, etc. You can drill down in the map to street level, find your street, home, and then "bookmark" it on the map for future flying use. The program is a bit intense but extremely useful as you learn your way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a level of improvement the other sims look cartoonish. And Im not talking just about the scenery, its airports, planes how they shine sound and move, cockpits even as default they have an immersive shine that surpasses other platforms Kapitan Anything I say is...not as serious as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

757flyer Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I too turn off the complaint ear and just go with what is in front of me. If that team is committed to make this a great simulation, give them time. I was messing around with it yesterday flying out of a small airport in Dallas and I could not see anything once I got into the soup. It was so real!. Sure there are cities that are not exact but with time they will be. I was really impressed how the ground trucks surrounded me when I was parked and watching GA get a push back. Keep it up Asobo!!

BushPilot Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 But for anything else the Sim blows !! there aree too many problems right now Its ok, I have flown flight simulator with just blue for water and brown and green for earth and a few buildings here and there, and it was ok too. So I can live the imperfections. As more people use the sim, the more bugs they will find and it will constantly get better with updates. Patience is needed. In the mean time I will enjoy the scenery and wait for the aircraft addons.

mmanner Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I want to add my thoughts here as a person who has been flying sims on and off since 1982. MSFS2020 has bugs and needs further work, but all in all it is a remarkable achievement. I look forward to it being improved over the next months and year(s). It's an absolute blast to fly, and the $100ish price tag is hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapitan Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Got a tip from someone Fixes a serious of problems that we think are "bugs" apparently there are too many keys (keyboard) assigned to systems, mainly autopilot. Since I never use the keyboard other than for Menu keys or some classic one letter-input like L for lights in case I dont want to do it manually, I kept the most common keyboard keys that I use and deleted all the rest (electric, nav, fuel, surfaces, autopilot, etc) Edited September 23, 2020 by Kapitan Kapitan Anything I say is...not as serious as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in VT Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi everyone. I'm going to be building my first flight sim setup and still going back and forth between FS2020 and XPlane. Can someone enlighten be as to what the "bugs" are that are being mentioned? What are the major complaints about FS2020 compared to Xplane? I just want to make sure I start with the right flight sim program. I'm already leaning toward FS2020, as I want to feel as immersed as possible with the sounds and visuals.
