I agree Feb 2021 is crazy.

Why doesn't Asobo hire the guy at WorkingTitle (the G1000, G3000, CJ4 mod guy) and also the Airbus320 mod guy. 🤷‍♂️

These guys seem to have the talent and enthusiasm to do this particular work much better than Asobo.

I wonder if Asobo even knows these mods exist.

For GNS and GTN, we have a very accomplished developer waiting in the wings for a meaningful SDK.  And he has spend a great deal of time on the G#### series as well.

On the other hand i love the night lighting.............Leave as is

Absolutely, I find the current version just fine, major roads are more easily visible, allowing for night-time VFR.

More empty promises and no real progress being made. Spend 100% of the time on the SDK so us 3PDs can finish this sim for you.

It seems that the Asobo is just beginning to realize the real amount of work that needs to be done to turn the Xbox console game into a PC flight simulator. This is a huge task to make FS2020 suitable to the two different markets.

And please! Dear developers, "fix" that stutter that occured after last update!!! Please, it was smooth as silk before the last update, but after that, its awful stutters that was not there before

You have no idea how development works.
Hiring those devs won't get you that content in the base sim unless the higher ups ask them to do it.

They mentioned the A320 addon on the last Q&A video so they do.

Uh the PC version came first, 🙄 this is a very heavily modified FSX base. There is no 'Xbox console game' version yet, or at least a ready to show version, they said console version development wouldn't start until the PC version releases either way.

Empty promises my butt. They fixed/added a bunch of things they said they'd do.

Since they aren't solving the current list, it ensures that it is less and less likely that we can get anything new onto the list.

The list isn't everything they're currently working on, just what people are voting for.

I too much prefer the new night lighting. Very pleased they are not changing it.

and the fact that they let people badger them into VR instead of leaving it for later after the actual simulation was done... 

This.

Wasn't there supposed to be a big SIM update beginning of November?

G1000/G30000 & Autopilot issues:  Started, February 21 update????  February 21st?  Not trolling here, but this with certainty answers the S vs G question.  Unbelievable.
 

 

So if the devs work over Christmas and release this earlier its a simulator but if a lot of people are off over Christmas (so its Feb for release) then its a game.

Well, at least for european simmers the "easy visbility" is highly unrealistic as we don't have continuos lit highways and secondary roads all over the continent. The night-time VFR experience therefore has been seriously degraded, not to mention runway lighting being visible from tens of miles out all over the place. While the lighting in well lit urban areas might be more discussable, even in those areas airports and runways are mostly darker spots in a sea of light. And that's what has set MSFS apart from the competion imho: in real VFR-flying one of many challenges is to find airports you have never been to before, that's true for day AND night. And because the devs decided to leave the runway lights on even in broad daylight, limiting flights to daytime isn't even an option for those who don't appreciate the lighting like you do. Granted, there's a good amount of subjectivity to the issue, but at least an option to have the daytime lighting set to "off" would prevent a lose/lose situation for many.

Probably Asobo expected that virtual pilots use Flight Simulator to fly from the 3rd person view like usually people fly using game console! In this case Asobo doesn't need PMDG and sophisticated SDK!😄

For me the first and importend thing is and should be to give all the planes the highest priority in fix things as AP, Avionics at least all things that should be fixed.

And not bring other things in the Sim this isn`t important..

All the other Stuff should be fixed time after time with the Updates later, as far all the Planes are fixed.

The concentrate should be the planes, without working planes the sim is nothing, all the other Stuff should come behind IMO .

 

cheers 😉

Lightening in mostly sunny skies?  Is there a language problem here?  The lightening issues I have experienced in sunny skies are closely adjacent to live weather showers. The issues have been lightening and thunder in areas where there are rain showers but not thunderstorms.  And then the issue where the sim is producing lightening and thunder, it is so relentless and non stop that the world seems to be coming to and end.  Totally unrealistic.

Sounds like you are describing #18 and not #3? I can confirm "Lightening in mostly sunny skies" statement for me is accurate as I witnessed the same thing during flights in south America with real world weather.

(so its Feb for release)

It is clearly a priority issue for those of us that fly in IFR conditions. And clearly not a priority issue for them.
