How Good Is Bush Flying In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024?

[@Adriano_leal]

I would say bush flying is the highlight of this SIM. The other day I landed on a sand dune during a rainstorm thinking it wouldn’t be a big deal and I got stuck in the sand

[@AvAngel]

haha yup!

[@Salos1]

I landed in a field in the rain and got stuck and I thought it was a bug. That’s impressive. I didn’t even realize they would include something like that

[@jdogg1793]

The tessellation on the ground is awesome, and even persistent to some degree, even noticed flying in career mode that the pavement saves the tire marking of where you brake, land, and turn hard. Did multiple runs at the same airport and saw my markings from earlier, same in grass and dirt

All the negativity on the release is a shame. I could get to installing until Wednesday night because of work. No problems at that time. Played on Thursday and had the same thoughts as you, very positive. So excited about this. Tha ks for another honest post.

Good luck. 👍

[@barthvapour]

You do realise that all the negativity was entirely because the game wasn't working for so many people? Even now, there are people who haven't even been able to start the game. At all. It's funny how all the posts decrying the negativity are all from people who have - through sheer luck - been able to get it to load and run without bugs

[@Instant_Nerf]

Mentioning what doesn’t work is negativity and not justified? Wow don’t ever complain about anything or you’re a hypocrite.

[@adamredwine774]

I’m still waiting to buy it but I’m really happy to hear some positivity. I’m a casual gamer with a mild interest in flight summing. I don’t need it to be perfect, I just want to be able to tool around in a little plane in some places I know or would like to visit.

[@bwc1976]

Thank you for your much needed positivity on this, don't ever change! There are things that aren't working of course, but there are other things I've wanted and missed forever in 2020 that I'm enjoying the hell out of in this such as being able to start anywhere on the map without already being airborne, as well as the paramotor and the modern autogyro. And I love your usage of "nope ropes" and "Taco Bell"!

i agree about the lighting and filters in the sim, looks very natural and beautiful colour contrasts. once they have sorted out all the bugs, internet speed, server issues and all our 3rd party aircraft we bought in 2020 are ported over and working perfectly in 2024, then it will be a good buy. it will just take time. not sure how many 2020 aircraft (3rd party) will work in 2024 sim.

Thanks for the positive vid! Haven't had much time for MSFS2024 yet. One minor detail that really struck me was the water depth at shores. Really well done!

Bush flying in MSFS = AvAngel. Also fun to watch.

[@bootstrapflyer]

Due to the lighting changes in 2024, I am now Dawn and dusk flying just so I can take in the beauty of my surroundings, outstanding.

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

Yeah. I was flying around various little dirt airstrips in the desert north of Los Angeles (in the Norden, actually) and it happened that the sun set while I was doing so. The sky was beautiful, and as it darkened the lights in the various settlements started coming on as it slowly and smoothly transitioned to night.

I realize it is not Microsoft's "thing" but I gotta say that I am somewhat disappointed in the lack of damage or crash physics. I would like the option to see the effects of hitting the gear too hard on a landing and the cost associated with the repair including labor. As well having to fill the place with fuel and oil. Don't forget those annuals. All of these costs would be a valuable tool in demonstrating the actual cost of flying for those interested. Maybe this is just not their intended market or who knows why? Maybe I am the only one... IDK just my 2cents. Maybe someday Microsoft will include/improve such things. Btw Found out about you and the channel with your appearance on Blu's channel the other day. Thanks for sharing AvAngle.

[@AvAngel]

Ah, so, I specifically asked Jorg this. They will never add crash physics because A, Aircraft manufacturers request they don't, and B, its a flight sim, not a crash sim and their philosophy is that they would never want to have people clorify aircraft accidents. Now that being said, you can and are able to damage things like gear struts! you can inspect them after hard landings!

[@knowyourjoe8826]

@@AvAngel I suppose landing gear struts is better than nothing. Thanks for the info.

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

Jorg wanted to add them, Boeing and other plane manufacturers said no. now the basic systems are in place, hopefully mods will allow proper failures etc though.

[@FlightSimVRDad]

@@AvAngel Social! 🤐

[@andrewjackson5127]

I agree. It looks really nice. I just wonder about the amount of cloud reflection in the water. It seems excessive, but that's something they could easily fix if they wanted to I think. I was watching, as you were landing the first time looking into the forest, and it seemed pretty realistic to me how the light played with the shade and the trees it looked really nice.

[@gweilo8888]

Yes water reflections in general are something I'd still like to see them work on. Scenery reflections in water also tend to look suspect, and while it's not as bad as in 2020, there's still sometimes a noticeable halo between the terrain and its reflection

[@VelveteenWoodworking]

I took out the DracoX from my local airport the other day, managed to land it in my old rugby practice field (pitch if your not in the us). Very impressive performance from that monster. I’ve always been very pleased with the add ons from GOTfriends! Can’t wait to see the updates for the double ender!

[@bwc1976]

Also if you've noticed, we can now take off from those rugby pitches as well! In 2020 if you tried to click somewhere on the map that wasn't an airport, it would force you to start already in the air above it instead of sitting on it. I kept begging them to change that, and now they finally did. I can take off from parking lots, sports fields, beaches, the street I live on, the horse farm I grew up on, etc. like I've always wanted.

[@poppadog53]

Great video AvAngel. I’m also finding 2024 to be improving as we go, and only 4 days old. The negative comments always occur with something new especially in any business (not just flight sim) which requires tech. System upgrades or, perish the thought, new systems always cause grief especially when people want to go back to the “old system.” 😅

[@barthvapour]

Not being able to get the game to start at all (which is still the case for some people) or having it lose your gauges mid flight will also generate negativity. Did you consider that?

[@DcsDux]

Hi AvAngel .. first of all awesome video as always.. secondly... your sleeping bag is in the back of the plane .. thirdly I'd like to see your opinion on the handling with and without extended slats on this plane (big switch on the stick) .. you can map that via the spoilers btw. ... I love the temporary last stage of flaps, which I have mapped to a button.. always a pleasure seeing a new video from you in my feed.. stay awesome!

[@AvAngel]

That makes more sense! It said in the manual it was under the wing so was unsure! Handling wiese.... hmm, yeah I'd have to try that and see! the slats would likely have made my super slow speed stuff MUCH easier.

@@AvAngel thought so too.. the last flap stage also pushes up your nose considerably as long as you hold the button.. it's my favorite plane so far in 2024... really fun... cheers

[@AreDee-vo6yq]

A great display of your airmanship skills, for sure! Perhaps a test pilot in a former life? I am positive, too, about the giant strides made already by this sim. I have only been tinkering around in the 172 testing out the AP, G1000 flight programming, etc. All of which BTW are working 99.9% as expected. I have noticed, however, a remarkable improvement in the overall flight model of this ubiquitous little bird. Approaches are now wonderful, rolling sounds, air turbulence sounds, etc. are much better IMO. There is lots to look forward to, exploring all that I bought here for only $69.99 - a truly remarkable deal!

[@AvAngel]

The general fluidity of the physics feels more rubbery (more real) than snappier and smushier as it was... things feel more solid. It's hopeful as heck.

[@bwc1976]

I hardly ever flew the 172 in 2020, but I think I will more now, it feels like they've put a lot of extra love into it!

[@adz951]

[@chrisjung5952]

I’m with you in terms of the positivity! There are certainly a lot of bugs that need squishing, but the fundamentals are solid and the flight model and ground handling are much improved. I’ve spent some hours in VR with a mid range computer and still find myself grinning constantly at the amazing scenery. It might have been a bumpy start, but the future of the sim will be fantastic!

I absolutely love the visual detail that has been added to this game. The shallow water detail with the pebbles on the shoreline of their streams and rivers, the retraced lighting, the way the herds of animals run away from you if you fly too close with your airplane, the diversity of trees and bushes and undergrowth in the forest that is true to the region where you are is also amazing. I was in Asia somewhere probably Malaysia looking for tigers, and I'm walking through the woods and there is vines hanging off the tree branches it was just so cool everything looks so authenticfor us low and slow flyers it doesn't get much better.

[@AvAngel]

You can hear the water splash as you walk into it

[@AV8R_1]

@ turn your audio up as you're walking through the woods! There's great ambient environmental sounds as well! You mentioned the water, but it's also the same if you walk on gravel or sand! There is so much minuscule attention to detail, that only us nature loving bush pilots will really get the most out of! Go chase some herds in Africa! I'm telling you, it's fun! When you go on foot near the animals you can actually hear their footsteps!

Great video, however as a real world pilot, walk around always begins INSIDE the cockpit! MSFS got this wrong by starting outside the airplane. When I approach an aircraft which I’m about to fly, I ask, how are you going to try to kill me today?

[@AvAngel]

It's true, but its something we CAN choose to do... to start the walk around we first have to actually approach the aircraft!

[@rjc0234]

It's such a shame the servers still don't work reliably, as the simulator looks beautiful. I love the concept of streaming data (no having to download world update that take 2 hours a piece to download because of Microsoft's slow servers) But then sit on your hard drive un-used for likely the entire time you play as you never visit that area. But at the same time, not having a cache of the last aircraft you flew, or the last scenery you visited is bizarre. Having to wait 15 minutes each time just for the gauges to appear in the 152, even though the night before you were in the exact same aircraft at the same airfield is not friendly for users. Seems to be an amazing game locked behind a terrible distribution method.

[@AvAngel]

It's been 5 days and it's improved a ton, but yeah it's still not there yet. I think when we can locally download our aircraft it will take a big load off it tbf, that's a chunk of hit we can manage easily. (That's enabled with the marketplace) iirc.

The sunlight still looks cartoony. Games from 15 years ago already had these graphics. Where is the contrast?

[@AvAngel]

I think it looks far more real than 20 did, but yeah it could take a bit more contrast.

Got friends dude to me the other day when i asked about bushwheels interacting with water: "We make planes, not water effects!" with some aggressive undertone... Meanwhile A2A Simulation's Piper Cub did the exact same thing i was asking for back in FSX days... Not sure why he was so stressed out / salty about it, but damn my opinion of "Got Friends" changed that day.. more like "Got Salt".

[@AvAngel]

I mean.... it depends on how the sim handles water. FSX did it differently to 20, 20, the water didn't have a lot of actual behavior. I don't think he was being agressive :P Those dudes don't do agressive! I think you misread him.

sleeping setup is a sleeping bag in the back of the plane

thing is, it was anticipated to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, release... they only stress tested it to 200k users... like what? where is the logic in that though? it seems way too buggy right now imo and this whole stream all the data down lark just doesn't seem feasible to me, probably a big reason why the stutters are happening

[@AvAngel]

That's likely all they could get who signed up to test. However the number doesn't matter as much as you think if they throttle server reception to match the test pool... it doesn't need to be 1:1. The issue here was unanticipated gamepass numbers that pushed things beyond capacity... millions of them.
