August 13, 20205 yr Water dynamics: we have a system where water has a color and depth based on Bing data. Depth defaults to deep if no accurate data available. Edited August 13, 20205 yr by Kopteeni
August 13, 20205 yr They really take everything into consideration. Makes me feel bad for the behavior of so many on the forums 😞

So water masks may be variable - That's my takeaway Edited August 13, 20205 yr by joec63 Semper Fi
August 13, 20205 yr Seasons: very early on we prototyped seasons. Initially we thought we wouldn't have time to do it. We settled to doing snow first. Seasons are about many things, snow trucks, deicing. It's on the backlog for now.
August 13, 20205 yr Seasons: They want to definitely incorporate seasons and know that's a huge request. They firstly worried that they wouldn't be able to add in any seasons in time for release, but they started to hear that the largest request (ahead of all seasons) is working snow and snowy landscapes, so they were able to get that in at this point. They're going to work on the other aspects of seasons (deicing on wings, types of animals, coloration, etc. later on).

August 13, 20205 yr Shared cockpit: something that we have started working on. We're not giving dates. Edited August 13, 20205 yr by Kopteeni
August 13, 20205 yr Shared cockpits are also in the backlog. They are working on it. No dates; it'll be released when it's "good enough."

They have to manually add that on and have done it for about 100 locations but not all of them FSX | DCS | X-Plane 11 | MSFS 2020 | IL2:BoX Favorite aircraft currently: MSFS Savage Cub
August 13, 20205 yr Updates: - feedback snapshot will be continued. - world update: new satellite imagery. We do a bunch of work to incorporate new data into the sim. We're going to update regions. We're going to add handcrafted airports. - sim updates: features that are in the feedback snapshot as well as bigger features such as helicopters.
August 13, 20205 yr 3rd parties: - Absolutely critical. -700 companies currently in the partnership program.
August 13, 20205 yr Airports: - Every airport in the planet are in the sim. Even small grass strips used by a farmer once a year. Each airport is reasonably accurate to operate.
