#FSX ACCELERATION RACE P51 COCKPIT TUTORIAL DRIVER#

Here, I am not talking about 'realistic NASA computer vortex simulation', but a simple 'believable' flight for somebody that has never flown a real plane (I did, but that's another matter).īut the actual Sim GAME, including EC, suffers a LOT and is basically broken. Some planes are better than others, so the actual percentage is about 50%(the really bad ones, no matter how fun they might be, check the Hs123) to 80% (for a few good individual planes, including the 109s). That would be enough praise and I'd agree that it does sit around 80% between arcade games and the biggies. WT's flight feel is similar to the old IL-2 1946. I'd say Silent Hunter captures the essence quite nicely. I have steered tankers and bulk carriers, much bigger. Still, I'd say that it does provide 80% of the essence of shooting a torpedo at a battlecruiser. If there were any other nautical sims out there, I'd happily point out the flaws and direct players elsewhere. And I'd still cringe everytime someone mentions 'realistic navigation' on a cylindrical mesh Earth like the one in Silent Hunter. But I still wouldn't call Silent Hunter realistic as a sim. Ok, as a sailor I'd rather play Silent Hunter to get my nautical needs, rather than go through the fishing fleet near Shanghai or pray for a week in a typhoon.

You're kidding, right? That's like a racing driver praising Gran Turismo's sense of speed, or a Rally driver endorsing the WRC games for the cool slides, as opposed to 'the biggies' like Asetto Corsa and Richard Burns. I fly a rig with a good joystick, throttle, head-tracking and pedals, and sometimes I am blown away with how close to the real thing it feels. I'd say they get it right about 80% of the time. This amazing program actually pretty much nails most aspects of plane performance and handling. It should be about how you feel when you take to the air -and other programs just don't get that. Some of the other sims are too focused on making sure every knob and switch work -it's an accountant's view of flying, a while it is more technically accurate than WT, that's not what flying is about. I fly SB EC because of all the sims I've played (and that now includes all the biggies), War Thunder is the one that comes closest to capturing the 'essence'' of flight. I have endorsements on more than 2 dozen types including single-engined fast jets so I feel reasonably qualified to give my opinion on how realistic this game feels. I'll have been flying irl for just over 40 years now, both civvie and military.
