St Maarten?

Oh yes, please, slew, my slew, I miss you so much. At least we can get out and walk around. But, slew would be so much better.

 

Best regards.

Wow, wonderful developments guys! This news is so exciting; it really keeps Flight alive, even though the servers have been turned off.

 

Personally, I would really like to fly around the Caribbean too; however, I would love to fly around French Polynesia! Think: Tahiti; Bora Bora; Tetiaroa, etc.

If we had a slew function, It would be months before I ever flew ( with the mouse, of course). That's a developers's habit. We hardly ever fly.

 

     True.

Slew Noooooo !

Next you'll be wanting autopilots,
followed by time-compression,
then bombs, and missiles.



Oooh wait,
that last bit sounds fun.

Seriously though,
I'd much prefer not to have slew enabled,
unless it could be locked into a developer-mode,
where zero credit was given for flying hours/XP/missions, etc.
Otherwise its too open for profile abuse.

What profile. Haha. Mine is messed up anyhow.

 

I do agree with you though. No on the slew.

 

Everyone should remember. Flight runs great as it is. If we keep adding things to it, we just open the door for problems, slow performance, scenery glitches, etc... If we aren't careful we could end up where we were with FSX.

 

I'm not saying that the additions currently being worked on (scenery and perhaps aircraft) should be abandoned. They will be great and add a lot to the sim. These are my two choices. We just need to be aware that the more we ask for, the more we might get (that we don't want).

Anyone here got P3D?

Not really interested. Not what I am looking for these days.

Anyone here got P3D?

 

     Too laggy.

Guys, scenery developers absolutely need to slew. There is no discussion possible. The process of accurately recreating parts of the world requires continuous checking of in-game display. We make scenery, launch the game, slew around to find faults, make modifications, and iterate endless number of times.

 

Without slew, checking for errors or flaws becomes very difficult, mostly impossible.

 

Since most scenery designers rarely if ever fly (except for me! I am the only exception. ), they don't care about their Profile (or the Logbook in past versions.)

 

As for the rest of you, what does it really matter if some were to use slew in order to falsify their Profile? Many already did that with the Earth's Curvature Aerocache, and the world did not stop turning because of that.

 

By the way, if recent problems have wiped out your Profile, you can easily recover. Windows keeps umpteen hundred previous versions available just in case, so simply find the directory with those files, right-click on each one, and choose to Restore Previous Version, or whatever it's called.

 

Best regards.
