Francous Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Which Simulator to you have the best FM/physics? Many of us are real Pilots or experienced Flight Simmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptein_Damli Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 What about SOW? Not finished yet, but I think it has some pretty good FM and damagemodelling after what I have read from Oleg. Not released yet, I know.... I voted BS. My moviemaking channel at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/RobertDamli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francous Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Yes SOW or Fighter ops etc.. but none are released.. well SOW or even the coming WW1 sim from Gennadich . To me right now "Condor" is by far the best followed by Il2.. ( I don't have BS yet so i can't say ).. FSX for example is ok until you go into an extreme situation and all is going bazurk!.. ;) Lockon alas has to go deep bellow.. Condor has also the best atmospheric physics.

RedTiger Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I think this poll is a little lopsided. :D I'm not voting but I will say this: to this day I still find the IL2 FMs to be top notch. Most of my problems with that sim have to do with the AI's super FM, but the player FMs are still the standard for WW2sims. I find this amazing in light of how old it is. Never do I feel like anything is scripted. It never feels like your plane is doing stupid stuff it shouldn't. You can fly straight up in the air into a full out stall and still maintain control of the aircraft the whole time if you're experienced flying it. I can practically "feel" when I'm at the edge of the envelope. I can only wish LOMAC had this same feeling. So what is "Condor"? EDIT: Nevermind, I think I found what it is: http://www.condorsoaring.com/about.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francous Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 I love Condor it has the feel of the real thing, I completely recommend it . It is superior to IL2 by far and if you like Il2 like me you would have a blast.! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airway Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 @Francous : You forgot Battle of Britain II : Wings of Victory to add to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFX Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 X-plane 9 Personnaly, I think you are forgetting X-plane 9. It has, according to many pilots, one of the best FM (civilian) out there.

In real life I fly a humble Cessna Hawx XP II with 210 HP :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francous Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) True Airway but the problem with Battle of Britain II is that it doesn't have an Online capability. :( Also yes X-Plane which use a tunel wind like FM.. but also has some weird things ... but into all seriousness Condor is superior but.. no guns ;) Edited November 19, 2008 by Francous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airea Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I dont think that any flight sim comes close to condor when it comes to FM... Give it a try... Thermalling is amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Condor is like a niche of a niche of a niche: flight sims -> civilian flight -> gliders. I'm all for oohing and ahing at a good FM, but its disappointing that its all wrapped up in a glider. I got all excited at their plane packs but then was sad to find that all they are is gliders. Can I fly the prop plane that tows the glider maybe? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Oh, I thermal plenty already ... with my choice of AIM-9's or R-73's, depending on the occasion ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francous Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 LOL... I have to check to see if we can props those Poppy with Condor.. but this is a great tool as well. Plenty of server out there and it is a great way to place back your clocks.. Maybe a Mini jets with the gliders as some do now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 X Plane 9 has decent graphics and a decent flight model...but that only applies to helis. You cant realy do what you can do in XP9...give an example: (cant fid the video now) theres a vid on youtube that shows you rolling both a 787 and somewhere else, a 767. Try that IRL. As far as helis go, XP9 come pretty close. I brought my version of XP9 to the school and had one of our instructors try it (600 hours in light helis). VERY accurate. He also said that about FSX helis as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francous Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 It really depend of what helico and who made it ;) same with all planes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boberro Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Really you wanna know? I never flew military/chopper to say which one is good and what is not good. But I believe the one from ones is from DCS. And I vote it is it. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

stealthtemplates Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Its hard to say, most are based on different types of aircraft. Blackshark for helicopters FSX for civilian planes IL-2 for WW2 models LOMAC for modern fighter jets that's pretty much the only flight sims I play depending on what I feel like flying, of course I haven't got DCS yet though :( In terms of complete realism Black Shark takes that of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 If you want to get technical, the KA50 is a rare aircraft, therefore cant necessarily be judged except by the 20 or so IRL KA50 pilots. I would take that with a grain of salt any day. You can accept either FSX or XP9 to be somewhat realistic in the way of helicopters. What gets me is that I thought it would be harder to fly a helicopter than this. There is a reason why the FAA approved these 2 flight simulators for flight training on the ground.

Frostie Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 For me there is only one realistic FM on the western market and thats an absolute, knob on, true to life FM of a paper aeroplane , can't say which sim though without upsetting a few people.:D "[51☭] FROSTIE" #55 51st PVO "BISONS" Fastest MiG pilot in the world - TCR'10 https://100kiap.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
