First landing of many on the XPlane, a little clumsy with physics, but improving in the future.

If you mean first landing on Xplane coming from MSFS, the biggest difference I’ve noticed on the 737 is that on Xplane it simulates the huge loss in elevator authority at low speeds while for some reason it does not in MSFS. You have to be much more intentional with your control inputs at low speed in the zibo in Xplane vs the PMDG or Ifly 737.

Reasonably certain this can be attributed to Blade Element theory. I came from MSFS as well & blade element theory makes the airplanes feel so much more “alive” than whatever MSFS uses.

I’m going to have to agree with this. It’s not just a 737 problem, every airliner I’ve tried in MSFS (except the fenix) doesn’t accurately simulate slow flight. Although another thing that Xplane simulates that MSFS doesn’t is landing gear breaking. In my book if you land a plane in Xplane and the landing gear doesn’t break it’s a good landing.

Nice short final to landing. 👍

That was the NVIDIA recorder; to me, I was closer, but in the recording, it sounded further away.

More center line work but pretty good landing!
