They’ve always been explicit about not providing ultimate systems depth and instead focusing on routine day-to-day operation (delivering the experience as much or more than the airplane). Not a bad business strategy - they’re able to optimize development time to meet the needs of a big audience, which is one of the reasons why they’re a big, successful publisher. Their business plan focuses on the “middle market,” where a large customer base is to be found. I can say I prefer the steam gauge versions though myself.Īerosoft has never aimed for the kind of systems complexity you’re describing. MilViz did an excellent job of that with the Goodyear Corsair.Īnother example of a really detailed system model can be found in the PMDG DC-6 if you’re looking for systems complexity. Systems modeling would be a fully detailed engine control/fuel system/every single bit of avionics. Not to mention, that’s not, by definition, Systems modeling.
I’m confused.Īre you looking for a fully functioning G1000 down to the last detail? That’s not going to happen any time soon, especially for those authors wishing to release on Xbox. The Otter will have whatever systems are in the Otter I imagine, of which it is not all that complex, even with twin turboprop model (I’m not sure which version is being modeled, Turboprop or gasoline combustion engine). The Arrow/Warrior has functioning GPS(s), I use it all the time, so I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I hope that, after that threshold, we will begin to see some actual effort being put into future products. Perhaps the end of wave 1 should be defined as the point at which at least a single aircraft has been released from all developers that have gained their reputations from prior flight sims. I have noticed that, to date, not all major developers have released a product for MSFS. Maybe this is all simply the first wave of aircraft releases. The existence of community-made aircraft realism improvement mods, and of open-source sims such as FlightGear (in which the DHC 6-300 has actual electric/hydraulic system logic), is an indicator that the major developers for MSFS are putting in negligible work to capitalize on the rapidly receding wave of players who have installed MSFS as their first ever flight sim.īut who knows. So not only is the best GA option feature-incomplete, the developers have explicitly stated that they intend to permanently leave it in an incomplete state. The closest we have is still the JF Arrow III/IIIT/IVT, aircraft that do not have functioning GPS, with no plans to ever fix said GPS (along with other inconsistencies that may be pointed out by others). While this would have been acceptable when I made my first comment some time ago, I think at this point MSFS should at least have begun to acquire simulation-quality aircraft. I recall aerosoft stating that they are simply aiming to simulate the normal procedures of the crew if everything goes as planned.
I am however quite disappointed that the aircraft has no systems complexity.
