MSFS 2020 Eurofighter Review, Quick Take

[@morninglads]

Great review!

Thank you!

I just bought this and the plane "flies" but literally all of the buttons, knobs and levers in the cockpit have a "?" for what corresponding key or controller button to press. For example, I have spoilers set to "/" but when I press it, nothing happens. If I click or click/drag directly on the spoiler lever in cockpit, nothing happens. Am I missing something here or did the plane get wrecked from an update to MSFS? Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Kinda hard to land when the plane has no brakes xD

I'll have to test that. I have not flown the Eurofighter since the latest update.

[@alixvandurand]

@@JoeNDBAVIATION Turns out, it was the update itself as all planes had similar broken systems. Devs did something to MSFS that really messed things up. Especially if you use a controller of any sort. I've since been able to fix a good portion of it with lots of cursing and remapping of stuff. Eurofighter is now flyable. On a side note, is there no animation for flaps, and are the lights not working?

[@JoeNDBAVIATION]

@@alixvandurand the lights used to work. I think there are leading edge flaps and the Eurofighter uses the fly by wire system to employ the canards and other control surfaces to act like flaps during the landing phase. Trying to find a real demo of it.

I struggle with the flight model, might be my stick settings but i never faced this issue on other planes unless if orced it but im at like 6-700kts and i pull my stick into the first red zone on AOA and boop, "plane gone due to high airframe stress". Had to deactivate airframe stress sim to have more fun but i would still love to learn what i effed up. Also compared to other planes it loves to jump when manouvering - well its as you said, pull hard manouvers and you wont have a good time :D

I have been wanting to give the EF-2000 another go after the latest updates. I am hoping it slowly improves and finds a balance between an actual flight sim add-on vs Ace Combat arcade style add-on. The high speed and high "G" combo is deadly, especially in reality. However, I do agree that there is probably a bit more room between 450 - 700 KIAS for maneuverability allowances. I think it might be the way the sim interprets g-loading vs speed vs AOA.
