That is, forums such as AVSIM's are not creating community for them. Long before the ACES team was disbanded, they were working on the social media aspect of the Internet and trying to coalesce that community on their systems and fora. That comes as no surprise to us.
May 1, 201214 yr The dev team does read this forum. Earlier I noticed one reading this thread. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
May 1, 201214 yr I think they use the Steam Forums because they have moderation control in their own hands with that. The support they've been providing through that has been really quite impressive, IMO. I don't usually see game developers interact on that level with the players, but admittedly I come from a console background where intricate troubleshooting with the players isn't necessary as often.
May 1, 201214 yr and lets face it the folks who's job it is to interact with the community can only cover so much ground. They are checking all the main forums even if they do not post. There are also some folks who are in contact with them and will alert them to specific issues reported in forums that they are not actively engaged in. At most there are three or four of the Flight Team actively engaged and with the 'day job' that spreads them thin... Jon ------- Microsoft Flight Sim MVP Airport Design Editor FSDeveloper.com
May 1, 201214 yr From what I've seen most of the "support" forums don't seem to "support" Flight. It really doesn't seem to have been received with that much enthusiasm! vololiberista Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
May 1, 201214 yr Author Mike as far as i can see and know they do read this forum. The dev team does read this forum. Earlier I noticed one reading this thread. thanks for the heads up
May 1, 201214 yr forums such as AVSIM's are not creating community for them Ironic, since Avsim might be the one and only positive (unless I post a rant in the Flight forum) and helpful forum supporting Flight. There is certainly no goodwill on their Facebook page!! MS owes a great deal of gratitude to Avsim for sure.
