The terrain is actually AI-Generated off of real texture maps, topographical scaling, etc. A mix between Google Maps satellite imaging and AI recreating that data for the terrain. Not a single hand-modeled piece of terrain from what I've heard. ;)

[@cowboy10uk]

Great to see you on MSFS, wondering if it would be possible for you to test the flight model at all. Climbs, banks, stalls etc, there are many vids on here all showing off the graphics, which are the best and are absolutely stunning, no question there. But I’m yet to find any real in depth info about the actual flight model of the aircraft in the sim. .I’m assuming as a real captain, you would be in the best position to let us know how it feels, is it on rails, does it feel and act realistically or has there been some toning down or artistic licence used? While I’m sure it will be great, I can’t help but wonder why everyone seems to concentrate on the graphical side or weather side, rather than the flight model.

[@flightdeck2sim]

Thanks a lot buddy! It’s certainly not on rails compared to earlier builds and light aircraft handle as I expect, weather seems quite dynamic which is great to see. As soon as I get a quality 737 I can really pod and proke the flight model and see how the aircraft reacts to various inputs, speed ranges and external factors like weather. I think for GA we’ll be very well catered for on release, for in depth simulation of complex aircraft we’ll have to wait a little. FD2S

[@aaronwhite1786]

@@flightdeck2sim That's what I'm curious to see. I definitely love X-Plane with the Zibo mod (especially the price point between Zibo's free mod and the PMDG prices) but PMDG definitely seems to be a very detailed model, and the ability to have the new graphics and weather, and more importantly, the more detailed landscape without my having to spend time babysitting X-plane Ortho is definitely tempting.

flightdeck2sim thanks for the reply mate, that certainly sounds very promising then. I will certainly be very intrested to watch your impressions on a 737 in the sim, although I would hazard I guess we would have to wait for PMDG to get Theirs out as they are the best on FSX and P3D at least.

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Really appreciate this video, and your comments - as a professional pilot - about the flight dynamics of FS2020. I primarily use XP11 for GA simming, and deleted 90% of my Just Flight airplanes, as well as a few older Carenado aircraft to make room for FS2020 on my SSD. I also deleted my Condor 2 sailplane app as well in hopes that the weather aspect of FS2020 will generate fairly realistic ridge lift, and thermal activity.

My buddy is shitting on stock aircraft (though he has no experience with MSFS 2020 yet...), and in the case of P3D or XP11 I can see why, but I thought both the AFL and A2A versions were pretty good, though I preferred the AFL version myself for various reasons (it felt more fluid, more dynamic) but I only have a few hours in a real 172. Both were good, but I'm curious to your thoughts on how realistic the flight model is? How the systems are? The other concern I have is how bad the potential DRM might be for offline flying. I'd rather not be connected to the net 100% of the time, and I'm unsure how products might get pushed out. Will we be able to buy 3rd party aircraft from their own websites? or will we be forced to use the in-game Microsoft store? Will we be forced to make an Xbox account, if we buy through steam?

Been waiting for you do do a video - hoping it just MIGHT be with the A320... was wondering if you would GO FOR IT... alas, only a wee plane. Well, this was good but look forward to when you do one in a tubeliner. :)

[@rodrigopinchiari4027]

WELL DONE Captain! Great flight! :)

[@flightdeck2sim]

Didn’t get lost! FD2S

Forget Track IR... VR is so much more immersive. Play race sims and space sims in VR There's no way I'll go back to flat screen anytime soon for those.. Can't wait for Oculus support on this..

[@DracoxRPG]

Fantastic! I already pre-ordered I can't wait. :-) Question: Do you know if there is saitek yoke and throttle support?

[@Bigshot0910]

I fly the alpha (now beta) with my Logitech G X56 Rhino. It works wonderfully, though by default they don’t assign many controls to it.

[@fly2max529]

Hope you dont mind but have another question. Would really appreciate it. Are landing gear collapses possible when you land too hard? Or will it just show a message aircraft stressed?

[@flightdeck2sim]

I don’t think so Max, I’ve not tried it! FD2S

[@fly2max529]

So its just a pretty sim nothing more. Shame. I recommend aerowinx flightdeck! Its a prof 747 sim with everything included. You want a microburst over there. No problem. Severe icing..ice can break and damage your engine etc etc

[@fly2max529]

Thanks flightsim! Btw how was the up and down movement of the turbulence ? Really appriate it if you could tell me.

[@rotorryder]

Will you be able to use old FSX airplaines etc., in MS 2020 as well as would you still need to use FSUIPC or will MS2020 pulll in all the extra hardware that you have?

[@flightdeck2sim]

I don't think so, this is a brand new sim from the ground up. FD2S

[@P4shaPlays]

This game in VR is going to be 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@martinalvarez827]

The graphics are amazing but what interests me most is the flight model. How accurate do you think it is?

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Martin, It’s certainly not on rails compared to earlier builds and light aircraft handle as I expect, the aircraft also react to external factors (weather) which is great to see. As soon as I get a quality 737 I'll be able to really prod and poke the flight model and see how the aircraft reacts to various inputs, speed ranges, something XP11 does well. FD2S

[@martinalvarez827]

@@flightdeck2sim I would like you make a video comparing the virtual 737 model with the real.

[@nunyobizkneez]

Thanks for sharing! What game settings are you running? Ultra? I live in Flagstaff, so this is what it will look like when I decide to go for my PPL in real life out of KFLG eh?

[@flightdeck2sim]

High End at 1920x1080 From what I have explored you have a very nice virtual representation of our planet! FD2S

[@jessebiedl]

This guy's eyes are amazing! He can spot a single golf club at the barely noticeable Golf Course!

[@flightdeck2sim]

We call them Golf Club's in Blighty!! FD2S

[@StevenKelley]

What resolution can your rig handle with the game? I was an alpha tester and got about 30fps with 4k on a 3600x and 2070 Super GPU.

[@rekunta]

When you zoom in at 14:32 you can see some black lines. Is this terrain breakup? Does this occur often?

[@flightdeck2sim]

Hi Charles, Very occasionally see brief terrain issues but they are far and few between. Most of this data is streamed and placed through your internet connection I believe FD2S
