things work the other way around tho, with each and every patch released,  the sim becomes more of a mess !

So unnecessary in my opinion. I, for one don't think it was ever a "mess" ... a few problems, sure but being worked on and regardless, it is improving as opposed to going backwards which is what this statement implies. Further, it is improving at an unprecedented pace.  Look at how long it took a very broken, IMO,  FSX . Look how long it took to fix (partially) P3Dv5. Some problems very certainly do exist but I think they are better regarded as side steps rather than backward steps.  Just remember that many aspects are being fixed and a small proportion of those introduce other problems. 

Calling this process a "mess" has to be somewhat of an overstatement. I further think that a lot of people are pushing logical thinking with a wheelbarrow full of frustration, which is not saying that I do not feel for them. This statement though, is just venting. For some simmers, all the problems which give rise to his emotions, do not exist.

I hope you get it it all sorted with a a minimum of further fuss and frustration.

Regards

Tony

So, I guess we may expect much improvements in the sim, to make it closest as possible from reality... 😉

Close as possible 'From' reality... 😳

Despite the fact that this is 'old news' since magazine stories tend to be written a while beforehand, I still can't believe some of the nasty and bitter responses from people on this thread. Yes it is true that you don't need to have been a pilot to make a flying game, but it can only serve to improve matters if you are. Besides, anyone who has been through the training and done that first solo etc is 'part of the club' and will presumably be more passionate about seeing that the sim is as good as it can be.

I would think people here who are all self-professed aviation enthusiasts based on our hobby would be a little more respectful of people who want to get their PPL....

Naw they're better because they can fly PMDG 737 while staring at their PC monitor

Old news.

What a bundle of joy you are lately. My ignore list gains a member. Funny, before MSFS was announced I didn't have a single member on that list. Now there's about 30...

He is a CEO of a 200+ strong company. He has more important things to do than make sure that aircraft systems are good and game doesn't crash. If it does, he will do the slapping to which ever manager is worthy of it.

It is old news, if you have read previous forums before. 

Why are you actually telling me that I'm on your 'ignore' list? And who cares? 

Why don't you spend more time having fun with a sim, instead of compiling petty 'ignore' lists that are of interest to...?

He's not an average Joe. He has decades of experience in game development and comes from an engineering background. 

So, yes, he can make sophisticated sims because of that.

Asobo is a brilliant gaming studio. They made one of my fav games: A Plague Tale Innocence.

This place has really become miserable, reading through these comments is sad.

Just remember - once EVERYONE is on your ignore list, consider the option that you are the outlier 😁.

MSFS , for some reason,  has mustered a cluster of bitter followers on both user and developer side.

Austin too, owns a PT-6 equipped aircraft, and hasn't yet been able to get it working properly in the sim, in as far, for instance, as the relation between RPM and Fuel Flow goes, or ground effect affects most aircraft during landing ( certainly not sucking them into ground as in XP... ) or simply feeling the touch of an overdone torque effect for years...🙂...

So, while it's good to learn that people involved in a flightsim production / design / programming are actually also interested in Aviation for real and in this way able to get closer to what simmers would like to see plausibly reproduced doesn't necessarily mean it'll guarantee that for the simulation product 😕

But there were some remarkable examples, like Seamus Blackley with Flight Unlimited ( 1 ) and later Peter James with Flight Unlimited 3...

I dont't understand why folks want to make a causal link between the lead of Asobo getting his ppl and the game. I mean, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a great book, but I don't think Victor Hugo was a hunchback. 

This nice little piece of new simply demonstrates that flight simming can ignite a passion for real flight. And isn't that the point?

Maybe it's more important for serious gamerz to study for their PPL's. That way, they can use the sim, any sim actually, to learn and better their procedural skills with complex addons. I'm purposely not using that ridiculous term of 'study level', complex is more appropriate. 

Anyhow, that's the way we worked at our Virtual Club, with PPL's. It made us all better virtual pilots, and their enthusiasm helped a lot of us become real pilots. The immersion of the sim, NOT the eye candy did the trick.
