Yes I know there are many other threads on MSFS2020, but this is the one to air grievances against it. Granted I had massively, massively high expectations, but the simulator fell short... by a longshot. The only good parts I have are the visuals, which are out of this world, both in the cockpit and in the real world... but now for the bad.
The flight model... even with adjusting sensitivity, I can snaproll most of the planes with absolute ease. The ailerons feel like I'm flying an Extra 300 while I'm in a Cessna Caravan.
I tried doing some simulated single engine work in the Baron... and the plane flew no different with the engine off... I also was completely unable to feather the engine.
Lack of IFR resources... there are so few IFR resources in the game. Nowhere to get frequencies, nowhere to look up a low altitude enroute chart. The ATC still sucks too.
The G1000... is wrong, I haven't ever flown behind a G1000, but it seems wrong to me.
Water landings... for a game that prides itself on visuals... why is there no wake when I land a seaplane on the water?
The simulator feels like the travel channel to me... a lot of pretty pictures and images but no real content. I wish they just took FSX and made better graphics, now that I'm getting used to the user interface and how the game works I find there to be a lot lacking. Initially I thought it was just me not being used to the interface and not giving it a chance... Well I have given it a chance and now I'm really quite disappointed. This simulator is almost the opposite of all prior simulators... prior simulators were great for instruments only, but don't get your hopes up about VFR... this one is the opposite it's spectacular for pilotage, but goodluck practicing anything real.
