Rate the most "real as it gets"

Postby Gary R. » Thu Mar 31, 2005 9:06 pm

1. 737NG
2. EMB-145 PIC
3. F1 ATR-72
4. Any Capt. Sim product.
5. PSS A-330/340
6. 747 RFP 2nd Generation

Which of the above or maybe even some I forgot to include comes closest to being "type" rating quality?
AMD 2800xp on gigabyte vt600l k7 triton overclocked @ 2.3 ghz, 768 PC 3200, 128 DDR 6600GT AGP, 60 gig,5200 rpm maxtor, 160gig 7200rpm WD, Sony FD Trinitron 19

Take the Wright Flyer, put it in slew mode, and take it up as high as it will go, and let'er go..Now that is as "real as it gets"

Yuck. Airliners :P :(

Real Air Simulations Spitfire tops it for me, and the WoP Mustang comes quite close. Looking forward to the CS C-130 though, and their Yak-3 is very good too... ;D

Okay, of course I failed to consider the light and sporty/fighter fans as well. ::)  I requested that based on a heavy iron drivers perspective.  I also forgot to include MAAM Sim planes in the group to.  I have Briefing Time and I've seen the inside of THE Briefing Time at the 03 avsim conference in Reading and heard it.  Pretty real from those stand points although I don't know about the handling but I'm sure it's correct.

Dumb question, but unless one flies both the real airplane and the flightsim model, how can one REALLY tell?

I always judge the payware product after how well the systems are simulated, Hydraulics, electrics, FMS and so forth.

That's the only part I can compare with.
And then you have the obvious cases, some payware companies have very lousy FDE's, so the commercial airliner reacts like a fighter jet.
Thankfully those cases are very rare nowadays  :)

Haha, sorry  ;D
Everytime I clicked the "post" button I got an internal server error message, so I assumed the post didn't make it  ;D

PMDG 737. The FMC is the most realistic one i have seen on any addon, be it payware or freeware.
