This thing will be the GOAT

The Airbus A360 was a Ecoliner that was designed by Airbus in 2030. The Airbus A360 has fuselage, twin tails, wings, canards, jet engines, cabin windows and cabin doors, and cockpit windows, and also it has a landing gear with the nose gear and the main gear with the lights on the bottom of the nose gear and LED Lights on the wings and twin tails.

The Boeing 797 was a Blended Wing Body Aircraft was designed by Boeing in 2030. Gains in fuel efficiency and noise reduction could also come from embedding the engines into the topside of the fuselage. This produces less drag, and the airplane itself shields ground noise. The big challenge is figuring out how to design the air intakes to maximize airflow over the fuselage. Of course, there will be fewer window seats, but the interior design could compensate through spaciousness or swanky amenities such as in-flight lounges, viewing areas or seat-back virtual windows.

Yay!

Hey:)

I added a new software entry, FlightGear 2020.3 LTS.

> FlightGear is an atmospheric and orbital flight simulator used in aerospace research and industry. Its flight dynamics engine (JSBSim) is used in a 2015 NASA benchmark to judge new simulation code to the standards of the space industry.

Screenshots

----

In the main page, FlightGear should be included as:

We cover all of the current-generation masterpieces (Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020), X-Plane 11, DCS World, and Prepar3D) as well as classic simulators (Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004) and even lesser-known titles (Deadstick - Bush Flight Simulator and GroundFall).

For aviation geeks, we have FlightGear, a research and industry flight sim used in a NASA benchmark to judge future sims to space industry standards, with a terrain-driven simulation of weather.

----

In the Simulators menu...:

FlightGear should have it's own category - "Space-industry quality > FlightGear"

The other sim code in the NASA benchmark aren't available for desktop PCs.

FlightGear focuses on the simulation of flight, it's received a lot of development from opensource science/engineering people:

It has a flight dynamics engine that can use the results of offline Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Windtunnel testing. These focus on the 3d reaction of the air that exerts forces on the plane.

Games and arcade sims use something like FlightGear's YASim approach - run-time flight dynamics with a model generated from the 3d art, that uses fast approximations and focuses on the shape of the plane looking at each surface element. The YASim type of approach centers around allowing artist focused teams of DLC makers get more planes out - there's a substantial amount in FlightGear despite the main dynamics engine being JSBSim.

FlightGear also simulates weather so it's not stuck on current/season limitations - i.e. an actual simulation driven by terrain.

----

Also, In the Simulators menu...

Maybe be "current gen" category should be re-named. What does it mean exactly. Current gen in what? e.g. Graphics? Weather graphics? Flight dynamics engines? Weather simulation engines (most don't simulate weather, just plug into a "live" weather thingy for current/seasonal weather)?. Technical systems ability to simulate hugely complex craft like the Shuttle in real-time/accelerated time?

Maybe the "current gen' should be: "current series", or "current series graphics".

"classic" should be "older lite versions" or "older series graphics" or "for old hardware", so people with old/slow hardware instantly know why they should mainly look at those.

In each of the areas the older version of some sims, e.g. physics in XP 10/11 or earlier DCS, could be better than the latest MSFS which might be better graphically. They may also have more planes with good physics - which are a combination of the flight dynamics engines limitations and limitations of the engineering effort/ability of aircraft authors.

Similarly in the main-page, maybe "Current-generation masterpieces" should be or "latest series masterpieces" or "latest series visual masterpieces" - or just "latest series entries" as the software are so different in different aspects, that older entries could be substantially better than the latest of other series in some ways.

Cheers :D

Does anybody know how to adjust the sensitivity of steering a plane in MSF2020?

I tried a new flight sim today. Not bad for a free “fly in your browser” simulator. Plane choices and models are nice, good quality and quantity for airports. But the controls… i have tried flying with a keyboard and mouse so far, but not a yoke or joystick because i havent decided which one to get. (any suggestions?) the controls are inverted for mouse, and button mapping is weird for keyboard.

Anyway if anyone wants to try it search up GeoFS and click the link that says “fly in your browser”

Well there I was on some fine sunday afternoonJust me and my airplane on a little airport we've never been to before were on short final and nothing was looking right I was seeing red over red, white over white and I couldn't seem to remember how that saying went anyway but I was staring straight down at the runway and all I could think of was about setting myself up to ungraciously dismantle this perfectly good little airplane. And, and then off in the distance I heard a voice and I think it was that of my flight instructor saying

… "You can always go around"

… You can always go around if it don't look right coming down Don't wait until your sliding on the ground you can always go around

… I know back when, when I learned to fly my instructor was yelling in my ear power in carb' heat cold, climb out, pitch, flaps to go take it 'round the patch, one more time again

… But I know now, he was showing me thats just because the nose is pointing down if it doesn't look right Give it one more try you can always go around

… You can always go aroundIf it don't look right coming downDon't wait until your socks keep sliding upside downYou can always go around

… You're coming inYou see you're high and fastBut your mind is set on somehow getting downThe runway leads to grass that leads into treesIt will leave your sweater dripping from your brow

… You still got timeSimply change your mindIt would sure be nice to fly this plane againWith the wings still straightSee no place to hesitatePitch and power, gear and flapsHey, "Go around"!

… You can always go aroundIf it don't look right coming downDon't wait until your socks keep sliding on the groundYou can always go around

… You can always go aroundIf it don't look right coming downDon't wait until your socks keep sliding on the groundYou can always go around

… You can always go aroundIf it don't look right coming downDon't wait until your socks keep sliding on the groundYou can always go around

… You can always go aroundIf it don't look right coming downDon't wait until your socks keep sliding on the groundYou can always

… You can always go aroundIf it don't look right coming downDon't wait until your socks keep sliding on the groundYou can always go around

I have a Chromebook and i want to get x plane on it, does anyone know if that’s possible and how to do it?
