Computers. Generally a bad idea. Doubly so when you’re fighting the UI while trying to ensure you don’t crash into the ground and die.
@jon I find Flight Sim so infuriating; the lack of tactile controls makes everything totally unintuitive.
Even basic controls (eg. the control column/sidestick/yoke) are wayyyyy too sensitive and have no feedback 😅
@hugh yeah, one the frequent complaints I hear from actual pilots is that trim is very counter intuitive in the sim because in a real plane you’d have physical feedback as you adjust it and the pressure on the yoke reduces. Hunting down controls with a mouse is a bit of a pain as well.
@hugh I could totally see myself becoming one of those people with a full physical sim cockpit one day. It seems you can get a plastic reproduction of just about everything for any given aircraft, but even just a few key controls would make a huge difference.
@jon Yes exactly. You adjust the trim until you're not applying input yourself, and you then make small corrections with finger & thumb.
@hugh I did also see a hilariously expensive and absolutely huge force feedback yoke which looks amazing. Must not bankrupt myself buying controllers for a game I’ll probably lose interest in after a few weeks.
