PMDG onboard also! So far all the big boys of the 3PD are onboard for MSFS! The day I've been waiting for! I hope QualityWings and FSLabs, A2A, come on board as well! And for the Airport devs, I hope to see Flightbeam, FSDT, FlyTampa, Aerosoft, Taxi2Gate, PacSim, etc as well.

Just Flight are advertising MSFS and Microsoft show them as onboard Dev.

This is great news. I knew that ORBX was going to be able to profit from porting their airports to the new sim. I wish them the best of luck.

MSFS

All around good news, I am sure all of the 3PD will be on board as MFS becomes the default sim for most people.  The reality is this will take time so expect 2 years of new releases for MFS until all of the fav addons are available....just in time for their next release.  I will be keeping P3D v5 until everything is available in MFS.  (by the MFS is the best short form...it is the name Microsoft Flight Simulator...and Microsoft should be shortened to M rather than MS..easier to type).

Very good news indeed!

Imagine the quality with the new technology when default already looks decent.

Happy with MSFS 🙂

I expect add-on makers will be more than happy, after the odd previous year. MS will make this a major title with sales number way above our present sims, notably attracting new users, after the first issues - which certainly will be there - have been ironed out. This will make add-on development much more profitable and enable projects (planes as well as airports) which just didn't pay off previously.

Kind regards, Michael

Since ORBx is a third party addon developer, does that technically make him C3PO? :biggrin:

Fully agree.

The only thing that could lessen this effect, is a disastrous release which could ruin its reputation permanently. Fingers crossed.

So many devs onboard, great news. 2022 will be a nice year.

No, no typo.

Agreed, no surprise here.  I’m sure their focus will shift to airports but I think we all expected them to be part of this.

What would truly be a pleasant surprise would be an announcement that they won’t be charging full price for airports that we already own in P3D.  I have no problem paying an upgrade fee for the work needed to port it over, but I have a big problem paying full price for something that is not a completely new product, ie paying for some work twice.  I stopped buying x-plane sceneries from them when they changed their policies around this.

Why everyone seems surprised by this? Wasn't that pretty obvious? I mean who won't be on board?

Of course it was obvious, even indeed pretty obvious. We are not surprised, we are happy😁.  I am afraid you've not followed the whole movie from the start 😄. Some P3D mercenaries have repeatedly campaigned on these forums, for a year, saying that FS20 wouldn't have  any addon because of no SDK, then poor SDK then crappy software development platform and so and so forth.  And if we were lucky enough to have  anything, we would have to wait three years at least to get it.  As a footnote, the same have been telling that the new sim wouldn't be released  at best before 2021 maybe 2022. You can trust them.
