that the dev community needs to cooperate more in building the sim. So if you're one of the devs that he's contacted hit him up with a comp. copy of your stuff so he can make a video to show his subscribers.

This is great !

Frogie, and others, should also consider Aerofly FS.

 

I know it is not in the same league, but it's still a promissing sim.

Anyone read the threads on this subject at x-pilot and the org? Product promotion is not one of their strong suits. Unbelievable!

The X-Pilot thread was depressing reading.  How are you going to get to be the next mainstream platform if you can't distinguish the hand that feeds you from your next meal?

I was not aware of that thread...

 

Just went there, and returned... RUNNING!!!!!

 

I'd rather not comment :-/

I never liked Ben Russel attitude since when I was participating at the .org forums.

Tom Kyler seems to be calming the troops down a bit over there. He and Goran probably agree this is absolutely good news for everyone. The way forward is getting people in front of X-Plane, the software should do the rest.

He makes some fun videos but seriously, Froogle thinks the future in X-Plane, and that's a voice of authority is it?

 

I'll get my coat.

Although I am not a visitor of Froogle's Youtube channel or Facebook, I have watched a couple of his presentations and I lked it.

 

This one in particular was interesting, and I actually agree with most of what he said.

 

Can't really really understand the reaction of some of the forum members at X-Pilot. I stopped reading because I really don't want to spend my time in that thread...

One of the futures   There can be more than one, you know, depending on one's interests, demands, etc...

 

Mine's certainly not in fsx or p3d v2, unless I didn't get the message correctly and after all p3d v2 includes a re-designed core FDM and Weather engine, which I really think it doesn't... So, with fsx and / or P3D we're left with a great core FDM, that is showing it's age and limitations, unless you do the hard work outside of it....

 

X-Plane 10 will progressively become a much more interesting platform for me, I'm almost sure...

Watch the video before you head for the exits - his argument is a little more nuanced than the headline makes it sound.  He acknowledges the importance of P3D v2, but also suggests that lack of clarity around the entertainment license could be a limiting factor.  He acknowledges the limitations of X-Plane but notes that its independence and active, ongoing development work in its favor.  So in a way it's an abstract case in favor of X-Plane - it could be the answer, given its status compared to some of the alternatives.  But that doesn't mean it's going to be.  He wants to give it a shot.  That's all.

 

So these are shadows of things that may be, only, not the things that will be.  In his view, at least.

I think the developers over at X-Pilot better go back to marketing school and retake "How to sell your Product 101"

Yes I am ashamed to have participated in that thread.  It seams Mr. Froogle is leaving there with a bad taste in his mouth too which is a real shame.

 

I read somewhere once that Xplane ends up being it's own worst enemy... somehow that makes sense now.
