Well, how about a penny per post?

Hey Asobo, 

I would just like to reiterate that all I'd like for Christmas, is like a 45 minute to 1 hour video, uncut (or cut out some of the middle if it's a really long flight), of someone on the dev team performing a flight - from pre-flight to landing.  Preferably in the A320 or the 747-8, but I'd take anything. 🙂

Did we possibly see some Carbon Cubs in the original MSFS trailer in June, when they show the cubs flying together in what I guess is multiplayer?Around time stamp 5:48 in the June 9,2019 trailer! Maybe it's more X-Cubs, in orange and red liveries etc... who knows? I think all of you are right, next week is a visit to the CubCrafters, like they did for the Icon 5 🙂 And maybe some more partners announced?

Maybe not an hour, but this would be great. A full flight, narrated, to let them show off various things along the way.

Then you would get a lot of questions for help but not many answers.

Agreed

I'll take a flight from KRNT to KORS or KFHR with some developing weather along the route.

What about some real flying? real time weather with a hand "wrestling" ILS approach into an exotic destination like TNCC or TNCA with the CJ4 or piper and the wind tossing you around it will be so much more fun 😄

In these dull times, where the revelations are sparse, how nice would it be if they published a daily "screenshot of the day" so we have something to discuss for the next 24 hrs while our friends hopefully test the alpha.

My bet is that Diamond will be the next partner to be announced....

The game is still in development. An end to end journey experience like you describe probably doesn't come together until the final stages of development especially for a plane like an A320 or 747-800. Patience my friend.

You mean the same Diamond Aircraft Industries which has an aircraft already featured in the trailer for Flight Simulator and was already listed in official list of manufacturers, that Diamond? 😁

Hi,

I'm stranger to Asobo devops process. But what is "Feedback Snapshot V1"?  Feedback is almost clear? But what is a "Snapshot V1"?

Exactly. We've been down this road before and it always leads to a dead end. As a cockpit builder, I was asked to participate in a MSFS focus group some years ago as they were in the initial stages of developing FSX, Twenty-Seven of us in Chicago. Microsoft valued our input but left us to find our own way (all over the country) to the hosting venue. I cannot speak for others, but fortunately, I was at Delta at the time and was able to non-rev both ways.

Moral of the story? They didn't hear one word we said as a whole and released the "crayon disaster" we now call FSX-P3D.

I hope those minions are gone and the new team focusses on what "we" as simmers want.

As things change they tend to remain the same. Folks, go back some 10 years ago and read the threads as MS neared their release of another sim. LOL.  The comments, wants, can you's, what if's, have not changed one bit.

Oh the irony..........
