![]() In case some of you are thinking that I am referring to xplane default aircrafts, no. So despite my many attempts to like xplane, I keep shutting it down after a few short flights. It reminds me of those early video games that could not be run on faster computers because the joystick behavior was tied to cpu speed. With xplane I am constantly fighting due to the lack of that "lag". Nevertheless, when you push or pull the stick, the airplane has a smooth response, like moving through fluid. This is what can break the wings if you pull too quickly. Regardless of the settings and null zone, the joystick-aircraft behavior is simply too arcade like.Īs real pilots know, in real airplanes if you pull back the stick quickly there's a "lag" due to the sheer mass of the airplane. Here it is: xplane aircrafts respond too quickly to joystick movement. ![]() The biggest issue for me is how aircrafts respond to joystick pitch movement.Īs a former general aircraft pilot, and a simmer for 30 + years, I think I can comment on this issue and, hopefully, get some good conversation going. After all of these years, some things about it simply turn me off. Yet, I am still not comfortable with xplane. My main sim is FSX, but as many of us like to do, if a new sim comes out, we purchase it, hoping that this sim is the one that replaces the "older" sim.
