SDK v 0.7.0.0 released, but...

[rksoftware 96]

MS/ASOBO have now released v0.7.00 of their SDK, but once again no updates and improvements are seen related to SimConnect.

This means that we are still a long way from getting a SimConnect that will allow us to connect hardware modules in our "home" cockpits.

It seems that the priority to fix SimConnect issues are low at the moment.

It's probably an example of the wild life you can find in the sim.

okay so LVSKB from the official MSFS discord sent me pics of the bears. So why does MSFS need them right now when there are bigger fishes to fry? Third party study level devs are saying SDK is not mature enough for them to create complex addons. So I don't understand why bears are more important than study level aircraft

There is nothing more Alaska than repairing a Bear mauled supercub with duct tape.

Well hopefully their priority is simply XBox at the moment, otherwise seriously "something is rotten in the state of Denmark".

What's even more stunning is the pilot probably just hopped back in the cockpit and took it for a spin.   No worries....

This news is un"bear"able, and yes I am drinking and I do think it's funny.
