May 28th, 2020 - Development/Insider Update

[ryanbatc 13,013]

Yeah I'm happy with the airac updating as per real world...and they quickly mentioned it but that we'd be able to edit flight plans in flight.... hopefully that means using features like "activate leg," "direct to," and inputting radials/arcs etc etc.  If we could do that I'd be fairly content with default aircraft....as these days I don't have time for every cold and dark startup.

I was just getting ready to post this! Ahem...the crusade is over, @Wobbie 😉

What were we going to call it?? 😛  MSFS... FS2020 has that ring to it.

Copilot can now handle the radios! SIDS and STARS baby!

He will also fly it if you need to step away from the controls

Only thing, what about charts?

I missed the part where we can walk around the aircraft and visit the lavatory...

Navigraph or the multitude of freely available charts on the interwebz

That would be cool if they can be accessed in-game and preferably Jeppesen.

Walk around maybe, but you can see the check box to let the co-pilot fly and I've already used that feature 😉

That's actually really awesome, that feature will come in handy for sure! They are just thinking of everything when developing this sim.

Some of those viewing angles are crazy. Going to be fun for screen shots.

The update is nice BUT trees size still need work.... I drive past this often and I don't remember Sydney being transplanted to the Amazon.

Is this still an old alpha? Seems like Asobo is making no progress on tree size.

Asobo, fix your "AI" logic and stop defaulting tree size for the "tropics" to massive old-growth rain forest.

In fact tree sizes everywhere are just too large for all tree varieties. Look at the conifers in the previous shot by SVG1780, they have the perfect shape of small Christmas trees that are scaled up 10x.  Big trees don't have the same perfect "cute" shape as small trees, it looks weird.

Of course the Sydney Harbour Bridge is missing too, and no doubt they will add that custom art asset later, but I like the look of that AI generated bridge.

A moment of silence for poor, poor Wobbie.  😔

Leave it to avsim users to take away all the excitement and fun, nothing but nitpick. 🤦‍♂️

I only see one person poo pooing on the party right now. And it has nothing to do with the IFR video.
