FSX-SE Good News about ASN and FSX:Steam

[PDX Flyer 111]

Good news.  The following quote is from the ASN website:

 

"ASN SP2 Development Update: February 1, 2015:

 

Over the past months we have been working on a complete re-design of the ASConnect code for better performance and compatibility with FSX:Steam Edition.  We've also been preparing several other improvements and fixes to all be included in Service Pack 2.

 

We have completed the ASConnect re-design, and we are currently ironing out the last remaining issues.  This has been a difficult update, as we've been up against stability and freeze problems in FSX:SE even plain/default without any add-on including ASN.  Fortunately we have been improving stability more each day, Dovetail has been active with updates, and we should be ready to begin official internal beta in the next few days.

 

We are planning to expedite the public availability of the update, by releasing it in "Open Beta" form before the official release.  This open beta period is likely to start within 1-2 weeks after initial beta starts (so that's around Feb 10-15).  Unfortunately, as much as we'd like to guarantee this timeline, we cannot.  Rest assured we're working very hard on getting this update to you as soon as we can achieve a proper level of stability."

Here is a question for the forum moderator:  How does the blue tag get added to a post?  Think this post needs one.

It sounds as though they have been experiencing the same 'terrain.dll' issues that many of us have reported.

Perhaps now that a major developer as well as Dovetail are taking it seriously a solution will be found
