May 7th, 2020 - Development/Insider Update

[jlund 380]

At first glance, I thought, what is the aircraft doing in the middle of a river? I would never have guessed that it's supposed to be an airport.

W O W ! 

 

I'm left speachless - again.

What got you ? Everything is wrong in this KGCN shot : the airport is missing, the vegetation is in the wrong place and of the wrong type. 

Don't forget the missing undulation.

the release date comes up and It Is announced to the public, which i estimate between January 2021 (if lucky) and April 2021.

Basically I agree with you about the time frame of the full release. I'd even go a little beyond and say mid 2021. But who knows... we're not on the dev team, so we certainly do not. A open beta on the other hand  could happen far before.

Last time I was there the runway was flat but made of asphalt and without an Iroquois hairdo of grass right in the middle

I'm probably gonna need a new rig for this.  Can't really tell right now.  But who knows what gaming Intel chip, or GPU will be available if "2020" is actually released about a year from now!

I don't want oversized trees (again)... been putting up with that for the last 10+ years in FSX/P3D

As above

As above

They're fake trees in a computer game. Seriously....

This is truly the most amusing thing ever....

I've never been there and also didn't research what location it was when watching the screenshot. So I basically just enjoyed the scenery, which looks fantastic to me. Sorry.

NO, they don't. They refuse to engage with the community here on AVSIM. 

So, prove me wrong Asobo, engage with the community and answer these questions:-

1) Do generic airports (i.e. not the hand-crafted iconic airports we've seen) have undulating runways that conform to the underlying terrain?  Post a pic here.

2) Do you understand the world is populated with normal sized trees, and that the Jurassic era monstrosities we are seeing, especially in that first c172 shot above (and others) are the exception not the rule?

The thing with you Matthew, is that it's not your actual feedback or "nitpicking" that rubs people the wrong way - it's the way you go about voicing it.  Like, just look at the weirdly entitled, accusatory tone you take in this one post I quoted. "They REFUSE to engage". "PROVE me wrong". "Do you understand..."

And any time someone points that out, you immediately retreat into "OH YEAH LETS JUST NEVER CRITICIZE ANYTHING AND ALL BE SYCOPHANTIC LAP DOGS"

Just... bring it down a notch, man.  We can all get along.

Yes I understand that. I tend not to fly in areas that I know well, like where I live. Better go to other places where I can't find the flaws and be amazed.😉

But the issue here is not to know the place or not. The runway texture is not in place and the  AI or whatever has mixed up the central line with grass. Asobo has  already said a couple of times in its updates that some airports were missing. This is a case.  Also there is no clutter of trees that close to the runway ! 

I am sure that will be corrected.

So much bitterness in this thread, truly sad. It's just a piece of software guys, take a chill pill. Like most people said, imagine where we were at a year ago before knowing this existed? I for one am mega hyped. Holding off on my hardware upgrade for now, will definitely look at Big Navi 2, Ryzen 4xxx and Ampere. Super pumpped!

Why do I have to keep reading MatthewS' posts when someone quotes him?

The "ignore user function" needs some tweaking...

Closed beta in July.

CLOSED.

Sigh, that will likely just be for the people who are already alpha testers.  I do hope they have an open beta sometime too so those of us who haven't been lucky can do some testing as well.

trees look more than fine.  the clouds look fantastic.  and Ive seen plenty of red skies at night -- I hate the out of focus foreground in that shot.

really awesome looking stuff.
