I didn't use a flight sim in 20 years or so.
But do they have a library of safety incidents, which you can then replay?

Do yourself a favor, and checkout the X Pilot channel on YouTube:
How does X-Plane compare to the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator?
Every time I see an X-Plane article my heart skips a beat, then I realize it's not about XPilot.
Random question but do you people who play flight simulators but never flown a real plane think that if you were on a commercial passenger jet and the pilots became incapacitated that you would be able to take over the controls and land the plane safely?
Does anyone know if they've fixed the AI and ATC?
I distinctly remember in previous versions watching the AI aircraft bounce off the ground repeatedly in an attempt to reach an incorrect flight level given to them by the ATC. That kind of ruined the illusion for me.
It's a great sim, overall, I think it has a different set of priorities from MSFS, which is totally fine. I only wish I could have the best of both worlds.
I suspect fseconomy won't be updated for some time.
I am disappointed to see xplane 12 not including fseconomy or similar right in the game.
It comes with a 15 minute demo of the Portland area, so can be tried on your system easily. It's also cross platform.
Why this isn't released in EA on Steam - where most of the community is located due to 10 and 11 being there and which has even recently grown a bit due to a quite hefty discount on 11 - is a bit weird imo...
Excellent! Cant wait to see what the performance is on M1 Max.
Just purchased and they sent me two keys... opened a ticket to let them know.
How big is the install on Mac? The downloaded doesn't say.
I've never used X-Plane or Microsoft Flight Simulator. Can anyone recommend a good $200 (or less) joystick?
