[@endefael]

the problem is the trim, has nothing to do with the real acft

[@skywalkies77]

Enderson Rafael whoosh

[@3DPDK]

No, it has to do with the Microsoft flight model of the 727 making it easier to fly for non-pilot sim-pilots, but making it behave differently than the real world aircraft that this experienced pilot expects. It has a LOT to do with the fact that the flight model does not correctly deal with induced drag that should have rapidly slowed the aircraft on flaring over the runway. One thing a lot of "gamers" confuse is display frame rates as opposed to "re-calculation" rates. This means the computer is calculating the actions of the aircraft at a much higher rate than the graphics are being displayed. Never the less, our eyes and brain interpret as low as 12 FPS as smooth movement. Every movie you ever watched in the theater (with the exception of a couple of experimental movies) you watched at 24 FPS. Our brains "extrapolate" movement at 1/10th second intervals or about 10 FPS. Only rare individuals can see the difference beyond 30 FPS and MSFS usually runs at 30 to 60 FPS even on the most limited systems.

[@skywalkies77]

3DPDK But....he does have awful fps which you notice throughout the entire play through

[@vab120]

3DPDK I partly agree. But our brain does not work in frames per second, it has more to do with the relation between frames. The phi effect for instance : you could see something at 20fps running smooth and another thing at 20fps not smooth at all. In theaters, it’s 48 half frames per second, simplified in « 24 frames per second » so people understand better.

[@3DPDK]

A V.R. interface would solve the visual restrictions Capt Nick is speaking of ... the ability to look over your shoulder "naturally". The closest I've ever come to it is setting up three monitors, but unless the monitors are identical the misalignment becomes more of a nuisance than anything else, and it's still at a reduced scale. Lets hope the developers put in the effort to include this. V.R. also adds depth perception that you don't get from a flat screen. It can make a big difference in especially when landing if you can tell how far away the runway is. The mock-up cockpit would be nice but you've got to have the room for it. I live on a boat so I'll be happy just with V.R.

"You can hear the Air Traffic Control talking there, we're just going to ignore him for the time being, it's not relevant for what we're doing here.. We're just trying out this flight simulator." A pilot's responsibility to the end. Even in a "game". So great 😄

11:07 Even though the landing was a bit ragged, I'm amazed he was even able to fly it as well as he did, considering that he 1) didn't have a yoke or throttle levers; 2) couldn't see the whole instrument panel/controls without constantly working the mouse; and 3) had to click on all the controls instead of actually reaching for them. It just goes to show how much extra headroom an experienced professional pilot has, beyond what is actually necessary to fly the aircraft in normal conditions. Good thing, too, since I would imagine that is the only way they are going to be able to handle things if there is some sort of failure or emergency. Heck, if I had to drive a car with a keyboard, I probably would crash trying to back into my driveway!

how does VR work with a flight sim. Do u just use the VR controllers or still use a keyboard and yoke?

[@finnleithomczyk5292]

Purple Planet I got lucky to try it once on X plane 11. At least there you used the 2 controllers and pressed the buttons in the cockpit with them. I think you can use yoke, rudder pedals and keyboard too though, because you can move the location of the camera with the controllers.
