In X-Plane sometimes I feel that I'm just flying a paper plane. After some stall test on various planes I had a sensation of "structural weightlesness" and no inertia.

I knew I was right about this all the time.

it also depends on where you get the planes you use for FSX.
A well-researched plane like my Hughes H-1 (I had to buy it, by the way, money well spent) flies very realistically, however I downloaded a Concorde once that was capable of doing a Pugachev's Cobra...yeah. the weather is realistically modeled, and it's quite the feat landing a 737 in japan with a 70 mph crosswind as long as you put the realism factors to the highest you can go in FSX, you will have a very realistic flight (i would hope)

Well, Xplane is FAA certified for pilot training. That should tell you something.

So what? without knowing the details on for what it is used, that means not too much.
FS2002, I think even FS 2000, was certified in a few Western nations for use in sport flight schools, too. That was hardly due to the flight model, but more for demonstration of instrument principles and IFR navigation.

It is not the end all flight model, but its pretty damn close and can be used to understand how an airfoil will be operate without needing to tie up a supercomputer. -S |

It seems like nobody here really knows anything about x-plane. I registered here just to reply to this.
There are no buildings because it would make the program bigger. However, just about every airport in the world is modeled and available for download from x-plane.org I encourage you to go snoop around x-plane.org and you will see there is no comparison. Cheers |
