MSFS 2020 Retrospective - How realistic is it?
Hello flight simmers and welcome back to Alpha Hotel Flight simulator training.
With the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 rapidly approaching - I thought we would look back at MSFS 2020 and do a little bit of a retrospective.
From the point of view of someone new to aviation and learning about it for the first time, or for someone looking to increase their aviation knowledge or skills - what did MSFS 2020 do well, and where did it fall short. What skills are beneficial to practice in the simulator - and what should you actually get in a certified simulator or an actual aircraft to experience in the most realistic way. We’ll take a look at those things, and also talk a little bit about what I hope will improve in the newest iteration of MSFS - flight sim 2024.

    Regarding VFR ground reference maneuver limitations, have you tried flying with a Virtual Reality headset? It totally eliminates the camera limitations you mentioned.

    Why do you keep acting like head tracking isn't a thing and complaining about fixed view? A cheap 30fps webcam can do Opentrack, though spending more for a 60fps one is preferable, but the cost is miniscule compared to the cost of a decent PC to run flightsim.

    These are, by far, the best videos I've seen for IFR training. I'm currently going through my IFR training and I've been pretty discouraged by the quality of the ground school material out there. They tend to optimize for the test, or just have a very boring presentation without subpar demonstration. Your videos are absolutely top notch. And they are free! Thanks for putting so much effort on this. Do you have any Patreon? If not, you definitely should create one because this sort of content needs to be rewarded.

    This is the best comprehensive instrument training material I’ve found online-even better than some paid subscription resources. While my instructors are highly experienced, I often struggle to grasp instrument procedures like VOR, NDB, and ILS in real-time during flights. This video made learning these procedures feel effortless. I use X Plane 12 instead of MSFS, but the avionics are essentially the same. Thank you, and greetings from the UK!

    Another one knocked out of the park! Thank you. Could you fly this approach in a plane without GPS or DME? The old 152 with dual CDI's for example? It would seem that if you need a distance references to perform the missed approach, then you wouldn't be authorized to attempt the approach without it.
