How soft body simulation works in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 introduces new soft body simulation technology to bring realism to objects like balloons, parachutes, and pitot covers placed over aircraft sensors during pre-flight checks. Unlike static visuals, these objects now respond to aerodynamic forces for a lifelike simulation experience.

For instance, balloons in the simulator are designed with tissue and air convection dynamics, meaning they respond to heat and environmental conditions as real balloons would. As a result, pilots need to consider weight, balance, and shifting conditions during specific ballooning activities, which may suddenly change mid-flight.
