Let's see now...Rob A. seems to have enough free time to post more here at AVSIM and simbol will have a new release very soon. Now what on earth could that mean? I just love it when our favorite "military contractor and builder of weapons" gets near update time. Bring it on LM!!

We just need the son of our favorite utility maker to go on vacation now.

Thank god! I have been trying to hold back crazily with installing addons into v5 HF2, knowing I was going to anyway trash everything and start anew when 5.1 comes out. Sounds as though I won't need to restrain myself much longer anymore.

I never realised how much people can get exited by me releasing an update to AI Lights Reborn professional.. I should do this more often! 😂

[GSalden 4,656]

But “very soon” is subjective.

Very good idea ... 🥳

As long as there is an implied link between your update and P3D updates, people will be excited by it 😉

I see what you did there. Tip of the hat.

This reply is why @Rob_Ainscough has more reputation points than posts on this forum.

Most people outside of the developers sphere have no idea what it's like behind the scene. We're all keeping our mouths shut to at least get a chance to work with Asobo in the future and save our companies/careers. Thank you Rob for stepping up.

The only survivors in this will be companies who pilot/innovate, who have the capital to be patient and the ones fortunate enough to have the expertise to work on what this sim currently supports: sceneries, simple aircraft and external economy based systems.

Time will do its things.

We can't say we weren't aware of the scale of such a project and the impact an incomplete SDK would have on our ecosystem when they announced it. That's why most of us thought this sim was impossible and stood still until they actually released the Alpha with what felt like an SDK that was only there to look comforting to potential customers.

We're already seeing an uptick of people going back to P3D. Let's hope this puts food on the table of some of the devs out there!

Its sad if this has impacted 3PDs this badly.

Mathijs over at Aerosoft forums seems to have a different view on the SDK and Asobo's progress:

 

The SDK is not ready, but we (I should say hans Hartmann) are simply asking Asobo every single day how to do things and we are getting answers. Sometimes not the answers we like to get but overall we are incredibly impressed by how responsive and how productive Asobo and Microsoft are handling these things. Every single day issues are sorted out and fixed. We are close to being able to do what we did in P3D. Damned close.

Either that or he doesn't dare criticise Asobo in public. Given that they haven't released a single aircraft yet, only time will tell how close they are to the standard of their P3D aircraft, which at best were 2nd rate.

It does seem like Aerosoft has rather privileged access to Asobo.

Many other devs are saying they can't even get them to reply to e-mails. I'm not sure how Aerosoft getting that kind of access is helping anybody else.

I guess not all developers have the same privilege as Aerosoft.. 😉 which brings another point, why such preferences?  Should not all developers have the same opportunity and playing field? 

My customers don't deserve the same chances to enjoy their products on the new platform as Aerosoft customers? 

The world is upside down clearly 😂
