[@FPVSteve]

This was an excellent watch. As an X-Plane flyer who also owns the MSFS + Fenix side of things it's not really a tough pill to swallow that the flight dynamics are demonstratable to be better in MSFS, it's actually pretty fantastic because ToLiss is already pretty great. Certainly good enough for a non-pilot like me. My problem is that I still struggle to enjoy MSFS when flying airliners due to the airport environments. There's something about X-Plane that feels more dynamic and alive than in MSFS and after landing I feel like I've actually arrived somewhere real. If MSFS can get the airport environments (ground traffic, lighting etc) nailed like X-Plane has done it will be a tough choice going forwards. Anyhow - thank you for doing this video. Would you be willing to do more in different weather conditions? Icing (in the air, ground handling etc)? X-Plane does a fantastic job of simulating ground contamination and how it affects the aircraft.

[@V1Sim]

Yes well said, while I enjoy what 2024 has brought to the table they fell short in some very key areas as you mentioned. The airport night lighting is atrocious too lol and yep! I do plan to do some more tests, I think then next one we might take out a default aircraft from both sims and run some tests that way. Much more to come, thanks for watching!

[@FPVSteve]

@@V1Sim the Citation Longitude is a very good default offering in both sims and something a little different...

[@stm3252]

I totally agree with you 100%. Let's not forget that the all the Fenix flight dynamics are done outside MSFS! I still believe that MSFS is going to improve over time, but it's not going to come close to XPlane, not because Asobo can't do it, but because that Microsoft is looking for Money, and they will add only feature that is going to bring money for them, not feature that is going to make their platform stands out compared to other flight simulators.

Only just got into flight sim with the latest msfs 2024 and by playing that found this video and channel. Loved the content and subscribed, now to go backwards and watch some more of it 😂

[@gaenthusiast9427]

With the better flight model and ground handling in MSFS 2024, XP 12's main advantage are some planes that are not available in MSFS and the fact that it does not rely on servers. But for the server part, that's improved immensely for MSFS 2024 over the last week, and it will continue to get better. Otherwise, the graphics for MSFS 2024 at ground level is like 15 years more advanced than XP 12, it's not even close. Check out Yosemite and the Grand Canyon in MSFS 2024, it's shocking how good the graphics are at ground level. Plus MSFS 2024 has free Lido charts now and the GA avionics put XP GA avionics to shame.

[@V1Sim]

Very professional review, sir. It would be interesting to compare the Fenix 20 vs Fenix 24 when the official version is released, to stay within a meaningful scope of one generation. This felt a bit like comparing the ZX Spectrum or Amiga to a PC, honestly.

Once the 2024 version is officially supported by Fenix I think this is a great idea. Bring both airbuses head to head and see where the differences (if any) are between 2020/2024

[@V1Sim]

Well this I can promise you, you won’t be disappointed

[@AGutherDE]

The wind does not necessarily shift in the case of the Fenix tests. It's also due to the decrab that is done. Obviously, the aircraft can't measure wind, it can only determine the difference between expected location and actual location which is assumed to be due to wind. If there are abrupt changes like a lot of rudder input, the wind display is "borked" for some time until things settles. If you don't believe me, fly straight with say 180 kts and put in full rudder and see what happens to the display in the ND. Do the same when you are next time in a certified FFS. It shows the same behavior. The Fenix initially didn't do this correctly, it showed the wind from the sim directly. With one of the updates, this was fixed and now it shows calculated wind from the ADIRS. By the way: the first A320 sim that did this correctly in MSFS was the A32NX.

[@FlightDeckMagazin]

X-Plane is my favorite because I can fly on Linux. I agree MSFS 2024 looks amazing. But I do not like Windows and I switched to Linux Mint now.

[@rhmlsiddle]

Great video and comparison!

[@psychepeteschannel5500]

People who say MSFS24 is "just a game" have a really bad take... because they seem to focus on the career mode being "unrealistic" in the progression of a pilot IRL... but yeah, other sims have NO career mode like this at all... the actual comparison of what is a "sim" and what is a game should only focus on the flight model, the physics, the realism of the aircraft and the surrounding, the procedures etc. the stuff that can be done in free flight.

[@V1Sim]

Yes. And I’ve been guilty of this as well. And there are definite “game” features in 2024 as you outlined. But the more I fly in 2024 and looks at aircraft handling characteristics, the more I’m impresssed

[@psychepeteschannel5500]

​@@V1Sim Yeah and I wouldnt blame you - from the limited marketing it seemed like they focus on width rather than depth - with the many different specializations, adding the "proper game" mode, increasing details of everything and again going for the entire planet 1:1... one would be afraid that this comes at the expense of the actual flight simulator that gives it life. But I was so surprised myself to soo all the additional forces acting on the planes... and most of the details about the aircraft being in there as well - not even the game wants you to see it very much, the trainings totally gloss over almost all of it, the game prompts you to start with Ctrl+E and just start flying - do a bit of trim, flaps, and thats all... but they have all these deep systems there, almost everything modeled, and the game wont even pull your attention to it :-D but its there... and its cool.

[@cptpoland7127]

Hey there, great vid however i was wondering what your sensitivity settings are for the fenix because the default ones i believe are too responsive compared to the toliss, its hard to get used to both.

[@rev9fan1]

Can you try deceleration/acceleration test in real life or can you not do something like that mid air in real life?

[@SimsSmith]

This doesn't look like X-Plane 12 but more like X-Plane 11. Maybe 3D tress/cloud set to low quality?

[@nopizzanoglory]

So now we only need MSFS 2024 to run without (streaming) issues. Until that day is there (long time I'm afraid) I'll be flying the Toliss A319/321 (neo) on XP12. Even though I really prefer XP12 over MSFS I do wonder if there will ever be an XP13. This is really starting to hurt if you are an XP fanboy (which I somewhat am). The only XP benefits left that I can think of are night lighting, the easier user interface, the better performance on lower spec PCs and no server side streaming (apart from live weather data). That is probably not going to attract enough people to XP in the long run, especially when MSFS is getting this much better. Time will tell how this is going to play out of course. Still plenty of things for Asobo to fix before MSFS 2024 can be considered a true replacement for 2020 (and maybe XP12). A lot will depend on if they can get the streaming reliable enough for everyone.

[@rasteek]

it works pretty good for me, no streaming issues, but i would rather have all my planes downloaded ;) which will be available on the week of 9th Dec as i read in blog post

@@rasteek Awesome. Will definitely keep an eye on FS2024 and maybe try it some time next year on a game pass trial to see how it runs by then. I'm not a big fan of having (almost) everything in the cloud, but at some point I'll probably have to accept that it is the way forward.

aside from eye candy i prefer xplane 12 to MSFS2024,

[@2stefti]

👋 V1! I think I have found the culprit During the approach both airplanes behave the same way (little margin of difference) It’s when they reach the threshold,the situation changes It’s because XPlane 12 buildings “don’t have any mass “ as a matter of fact you can drive trough them Both simulation physics behaves the same,the difference is that 2024 take into account the building and geometry of the surroundings landmass As Xplane it’s concerned only sees a flat strip in the middle of the bays,and winds a blowing straight trough therefore causing the (correct)wild oscillation Hope I’m making myself clear

[@pilot.sergio4]

I also really like X-Plane built in flight replay system, its so simple and easy to use yet so powerful. Not discounting the hard work that Flight Recorder Embedded that comes with the sim, but its not as intuitive as X-Plane system. You literally have to manually select record to get it to operate. Meanwhile on X-Plane is records automatically your flight from start to finish. Also the lack of call outs Fenix did say there is a issue within MSFS that causes sounds to go out, so I guess it is not a default aircraft issue only, it seems it applies to third party products too

[@johanjacobs9240]

Do you really need a recording from start to finish?

[@V1Sim]

@@pilot.sergio4 agreed the replay in Xplane and user interface for controls and axis binding is far superior. The Flight recorder that I use however (not the embedded one) is just as easy as Xplane tho. It also has 1 key benefit, if the sim crashes all I have to do is reload and launch the replay. I can save it for future use for videos or anything too. If Xplane crashes during replay, that’s it, the replay is lost. 😞

[@pilot.sergio4]

@@johanjacobs9240 You don’t but it’s intuitive. If X-Plane can do it without too much impact on performance and it’s not like it saves it to your storage space, I don’t see the issue with it. My main gripe that you may glanced over is how you have to open up the panel and click record to get it going. The flight recorder sometimes breaks the aircraft too because when you exit the flight recorder, the aircraft you are flying ends up all messed up. I rather just allow the sim to record it and choose a segment that I want to save. Keep in mind this is for the embedded version as V1 already mentioned the external version seems a bit better than the embedded.

[@pilot.sergio4]

@@V1Sim Ah I see, I guess the external version is better than for sure. Would be awesome if they matched the embedded version to the external version.

[@F.A.S.D]

@@V1Sim what flight recorder add one do you sir there sir?

[@FrostbitexP]

V1, I propose one more test. After messing around with the winds, I can see that MSFS adds alot of ground resistance to the winds it injects. If you put 20 knot winds on the ground. You wont truly get 20 knot because its trying to simulate that ground resistance. Youll get around 12 knots based on low passes over st.marteen in the a330. In order to get 20 knots crosswind directly on the ground, you would actually need to put 39-45 knots of wind at ground level. Im not a pilot, so I have no clue if that level of ground resistance is realistic. But in the xplane you had 20 knot crosswind all the way to the ground. Redo the msfs test and quiet these kids

The landing physics is still not good in MSFS compared to XPlane. I get it, that intensity of the wind affects the plane too much, the amount of steering is not right and so on. But that all is just a matter of the right tweaking by the devs. But in MSFS i still do not have the immersion that i slam 70 tons on the runway. There is almost no rebound, no smearing, nothing. It looks just to perfect. I'm a big fan of MSFS graphics, the landscapes, the clouds, the lighting...all is beautiful. But the landing physics is still way ahead in XPlane.

Well, just tested Fenix in 2024 and it felt like a fighter jet, no inertia AT ALL. Did few very abrupt and hard flight stick movements, from neutral to full left/right for 1 second, and when I let go the stick, Fenix stops like F-16, or better to say acrobatic aircraft. In XP11/12 you can really see and feel the inertia, aircraft doesn't stop the roll abruptly. It's not my hardware for sure (VKB Gladiator NXT EVO), as it works perfectly in all sims. For xwind and ground performance I won't comment since I'm not a real pilot, but I know why I prefer some aircraft in XP over MSFS counterparts. Show me a video on YT or anywhere, where A320 stops the roll abruptly when you let go the flight stick, and I will say I'm wrong. In my case, to make Fenix roll slowly like in this clip, I need to set extreme deadzone to 0.5 in control settings, no other way. When I move my flight stick like V1-Simulations, it rolls faster and stops a lot faster, no inertia at all. Not sure what I'm missing. Do you have that dampening option enabled in Fenix tablet? For me it doesn't make the difference, maybe it's even worse with it enabled. Any help is appreciated.

Change your sensitivity settings to -20 as recommended and turn sds on in efb

[@Pe11ePD]

@@majoraviatior1611 I did, both. -20, and SDS on. Still felt wrong. So I went with extreme deadzone to 40 (so axis travel is 60% of default), and then I can say it feels better, but still not close to Toliss. I still can't feel the inertia, but can feel the weight. I can live with it I guess. Since I'm a VR user, I firmly believe that the feel of flying and physics is multiplied in VR. In 2D I can't feel all the stuff like I feel in VR. I can't see tiny movements in 2D, but in VR I can see them easily. It depends on so many variables.

[@majoraviatior1611]

@ you have to remember that the 320 irl has fbw. They don’t handle to have a very heavy feel like say a 747. Irl they are very direct on the controls and you only need finger tip movements to manipulate controls. Imo Fenix has came close in this regard

[@majoraviatior1611]

@ overall the real 321 handles very sensitive according to irl Airbus pilots and have praised Fenix for getting this right

[@memorycl]

So why does the ND xwind reading stay near zero after you've decrabbed and are still 120kts down the centerline? Because there's no xwind. Why do the Fenix ailerons move very little during decrab? Because the physics are still wrong. Why using 20kts gusts? Why test a highly damped/automated control system that entirely covers the FM of both sims? This was terrible flight testing.

[@V1Sim]

Gustavo? Is that you?

[@memorycl]

And to clarify, by "move very little", I mean almost zero aileron movement. Your zero-correction test in the Fenix at 1:57:00 was very telling. Nose high (that oddly didn't drop at all as you both trundle through the grass and decelerate) in a 20kt xwind, gusting 20kt, and zero correction is required? To even stay level in roll? The plane simply followed the excessive main gear friction from point of touchdown. Plus we can't see your rudder feet. Minus a few more internet flight test points.

[@V1Sim]

@@memorycl the flight control surfaces don’t deflect in my external replay most of the time. If I used the embedded recorder it would, but the external recorder allows me to jump back forth much faster

[@memorycl]

@@V1Sim Most of the time? Just most? Or ever? It does look like the rudder doesn't move at all on second view. But there's zero roll happening during de-crab. Why? What's more, why doesn't that huge vertical stab have any weathervane effect from the 20+20kts you had rolling through after you touched down with no corrections? That beach run was a near perfect straight line from TD. Too perfect. Garbage physics. Even the gusts, apparently.

[@ilankrt]

In addition to your assessment being manipulation, I also doubted the nature of the comparison. I just spoke to my friend, the captain of an Airbus 330, and asked him about it. He said that a comparison between the two different models is fundamentally wrong! In his words, a real pilot would never do something like that...

​@@V1Sim😂😂

[@foreman-e7g]

If comparison between two different "models" is fundamentally wrong, how can we ever tell if one is more or less accurate? If you are dismissing this test because they are different "models", you have to dismiss all testing and just say that comparing different sims is impossible. However the truth is they are a representation of the SAME plane, the fact that they are different mods for different sims is irrelevant. So given the same configuration, the one that fits the real world data is the better, simple as.

X-Planes touchdown and ground physics are horrible, and you guys still think it's some scam if anyone points it out. I don't fly an Airbus, but I fly another jet in real life, and if you think you need full-right deflection to avoid a pod strike (and that the wing still tips over like that) and to use hard opposite braking just to maintain centerline at touchdown during a 20-knot crosswind, lol...never mind the snaking on the rollout.
