Just a mention regarding the Thranda C172: The airspeed is in miles per hour, which is why it seems like the plane is going faster than expected. :)

I also purchased the sound pack. It is amazing but the volume level is so low. Any one know how to increase the volume? I have increased the level on my PC to max.

that stall and crash on take off in the airfoillabs 172... brutally realistic
@thenjduck6 ай бұрын
Great reviews. I purchased the AFL 172 analog. The eye candy was great, but I noticed the voltmeter flickering from 0 to complete discharge as soon as I started to fly the plane. Eventually, the battery was fully discharged, and the plane cut out and crashed. I have filed a bug report with the developer and have never heard back from them.

i had the same problem, its mainly because of flywithlua, remove this plugin or whatever expension plugin from x-plane plugin folder before flying the airfoil labs aircrafts, you have to learn flywithlua or what ever you usebefore using it next to all other addons, its also been said at least by flywithlua

I'm a big fan of the REPs. Also, they didn't expect you to buy a new version with xplane 12, which is a nice touch I think. I never got on with the AFL 172, possibly the frame rate but I liked what the REP concentrated on more. Thanks for the video.

Wow...this has brought me back in time. The second model you showed is EXACTLY like the real thing. I'd say the stall is almost 100%...I found the wing drops in the c172SP models pretty docile, seemed slightly more agressive than what I remember with regards to the wing drop..but yea Its extremely impressive.

So what was the airport?? There's no info in the " ADDONS & REFERENCED LINKS" section. Regarding the aircrafts themselves, I read that the Airfoillabs one has a lot of bugs, and the dev largely ignores ppl for support. Is that still the case?

The LR 172 + REP package is what I prefer the most, and it seems the most realistic for me although I've only flown C150,2s.

When starting the Cessna 172 it calls for the Master switch on, that does not mean battery only, both alternator and battery go to the on position.
@muhammadsteinberg2 ай бұрын
As the prior owner of a 1978 Cessna 172N I’d have to agree with you. Only time you’d start the engine without full master is if you’re troubleshooting. Anytime I was battery only I was usually parked in the hangar with charger connected. $600 for Concord battery you ain’t playing around as an owner.

Lower your field of view. For a 16:9 monitor at 1440, I keep my fov below 70 (usually 64 ish, and I adjust my main head position so I can see all of the instruments), this will help your sight picture, you loose a bit of perif, but that's what it takes to get the runway to look correct out the window. Fov is the one setting I ride a lot.

@robbyyant62137 ай бұрын
@@Q8PilotYep, agreed. I have a lot of real world experience with the 172 from my PPL days and get frustrated with how wrong the MSFS flight model treats the WBSim 172. Trimming the airplane is an absolute nightmare in MSFS whereas the real plane is more docile. Rudder inputs are also completely overpowered and air/ground transitions feel too "scripted", I suppose is a good way to describe it. All common issues with the flight modeling in MSFS. The system implementations with the WBSim 172 are good and performance numbers are also correct but the feel of the flight model is what ruins it for me. Again, sim limitations are really to blame. I don't intend to sound like a shill for X-Plane but, while not perfect, it certainly feels more like the real thing than MSFS. MSFS has always felt like an arcade, even to this day. It's not surprising given how much they show missions and the more game oriented aspects in all of their 2024 adverts over flight modeling improvements. The "gamer" aspect is where the money is for them.

I appreciate the reviews, especially the detailed ones like these. But man, XPRealistic sounds are at least twice as loud comparing to the aircraft sound, it's really hard to pick up how are the sounds from that particular addon, as XPRealistic out screams everything lol. That is my only caveat with almost all of your streams and videos. P.S. XPRealistic should be used ONLY when the aircraft of choice is lacking sounds in the particular area, for example touchdown, or groundroll sounds. Only add these, and keep that audible just enough to notice them while taxiing, then they will be generally loud on takeoffs. In your case, you kept majority of XPRealistic sounds, pretty loud, while Airfoillabs already have modelled all these sounds properly, and more suitably.

Un-fogging the windscreen is done by selecting the heat and cabin air on, as you did, and opening the vents by sliding one of the pair of levers on the coaming outward for the outside one, or inward for the inside one. They are located just above the artificial horizon on the pilots side and in a similar position on the front passenger side. Nice review, as always.
