Blue Robin – You’ve hit the nail on the head. For many flightsim modellers, it’s “easy” to get the visuals right. Getting the flight dynamics spot on is a compromise between available information (as Rob mentioned, there are many tools), and the limitations of the flight simulator engine (Yes, you can have a supersonic Cessna 172 – what the model looks like has just about no bearing on how it “flies”).

Top line modellers will pay attention to the visuals, of course, but will also try to get experienced real-life pilots to check out the model.

Rob has done a superb job on the Brisfit
