Flight Model Changes in X-Plane 11.40

I wish they would finally pay some more attention to implement an accurate ground handling. It often feels as if the brakes and front wheel have absolutely no effect and the aircraft is just blown away and ground is slippery like hell even on very low speed. That doesn´t feel realistic to me.

Great stuff!

I hope one day you hit the physics hard on ATC. But hey i understand we should all be using a real ATC online its 2019, but there are limitations to that too. Xplane is such a wonderful product I would love to talk to an AI guy or gal in the tower.

Can Austin teach me physics please

DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN ANY COFFEE!!!!!!

Flight model improvements are meaningless when the program bogs down even the most powerful GPUs on the market. Competing flight sims don't have this issue. Vulkan implementation needs to be priority #1.

austin: "we're never gonna simulate every molecule of air"
me: :-/

🤔 hmm explane? X-plaine? X-playn?

Austin is so damn wholesome

Maybe there trying to stay on top of there game because of the new Microsoft flight sim coming out.

We need some graphical Enhancement!!♥️

No wonder development is so slow if you're busy with answering emails.

Dear Austin and X-Plane team. You need to take a look at the volumetric clouds in the iOS game Sky : children of light. They are amazingly beautiful and run on iOS devices which is a real feat of optimization. Would be awesome if you could replicate some aspects of the insane code wizardry going on there and apply it to X-Plane ! Thank you ! Hope you find this comment in the sea of other comments.

Austin, you are a mad man in a good sense, awesome stuff, thank you very much for developing xplane. Cheers

Use a mic for the guy in the back yakking

Speaking of waves... Ever heard of wave drag? Because that's what area rule is about. It's not what you need a "relief" for the compressed air to "escape to". Area rule dictates that the cross-sectional area of the aircraft should change as smooth as possible lengthwise to prevent severe shock waves from forming at and over transonic speeds. Slimming of the fuselage and swept wings are one answer to this, but there are also antishock (or Witcomb) bodies.

Austin is so enthusastic that this video convinced me to put X-Plane into my shopping list!
How do the X-Plane helicopters compare to DCS?

Ground handling, ATC and vulkan should all be the priorities. Fix the features FSX already has you beat at.

My question is: If this Flight Model changes are coming in 11.40... What does activating 'Experimental Flight Model' in 11.35 do?

I have a problem with the strobe light switch in the Cabri G2. When I map a button to it, it clicks but doesn't do anything. Just makes a click sound, but the toggle switch animation and strobe animation don't trigger.

I've also lost the 'laser' point on my right Rift S controller

Any help would be much appreciated

Austin is so cool and we love X-PLANE!!!! What about a cooperation with ZIBO?

I just want Austin's home sim setup

Ned Flanders, is it you?

I fell in love with XP when one day I set wind speed on the ground to 20kts & 50 kts and watched the effect it had on everything from props to airliners. Other sims are eye candy based and is built for graphics flyers.
That's when I realized XP is a serious flight simulator that can prepare you for real world training.

You should make a webinar to answer questions from developers, greetings

please, talk more slow, the automatic translate options (for non speak english people) not interpretate your speech (but the result it´s very funny) ....and pleeeeeaaaaseeee.....buy a mic for the guy out of camera! :p

This will sound silly but I want the same type of fanatics behind a motorcycling simulation. Gimme! PLEEES! Possibly in EU traffic. XD

Amazing. Austin praises Electric cars because they are by design superior to the traditional cars. At the same time X-Plane is in the process of being wiped out by MS Flight Sim 2020 with a superior design. The better is the enemy of the good, Austin. You should get used to it.

i wish to say that it's very interesting to develop a new model of physic in Xplane to accelarate and create a new dynamic immersion in universe of Xplane Thanks for this movie

I am learning to fly right now, and also using X-Plane 11 in parallel with an Oculus Rift and hardware (yoke, rudder, pedals, trim wheel and even realsimgear garmin 430, and the flight model is so awesome, it feels so close to the real thing, extremely useful!

I think ground handling for light aircraft should be something to consider in future updates

Hello Michael, is it possible to make some informative videos, for plane maker and airfoil, we really need some videos regarding these softwares.

Is it wrong that my big boy parts get aroused when I hear such dense science stuff? Please internet people... be honest. I can take it.

This is possible to change the range of an airplane in xp files?

I just started flight simming... I was always dubious of the "experimental flight model." But now that I know it's more realistic, and I don't have any habits built up, I'm going to turn it on. Thanks Austin (you're my new hero by the way. Michael, you're ehhh, alright.) :-)

Sorry just watched this video. MS has had physics in it, clear back to version 5.0. It's just hidden in a compressed file. <I've had to fix some fight dynamics for some freeware addons > You should know this as some of MS fight simulator file system has been able to be read by X-plane. (I've been using MS flight simulator from version 5.0 all the way to FSX even Combat fight sim 1&2.. I have X-Plane 9.0 "I believe" and could not figure out why I end up nose down on roll out before take off,<like there was a hole in the runway > so I have stayed with MS. My favorite sim was Richard Harvey's FLY! and FLY!2. Could not really get into Sierra's Pro-Pilot.)

Nice!

Fantastic, Austin's enthusiasm is second to none.

With your experimental flight model, my supersonic airliner stopped accelerating above Mach 1.4 and is constantly turning to the right...

Do the advancing and retreating sides of the helo's rotor disc have lift differently affected at higher speeds in the new experimental model? Also, are there turbulence effects when passing through the ETL threshold? I'm also curious about hard handling vibration, such as going from one extreme axis position to the other end of the axis, or prior to the onset of damaging the helicopter.

Love how its just banter between two learned friends

Unless he's the only developer, I wish he would use "we" instead of "I", I'm sure that would make his team feel a bit more valued. That's my only complaint 😎

What a messy video.
