Carenado won the Piper Arrow race I see.  I'm doing my best to hold off as that Just Flight version just looks so darn 'used and tattered'.  Hehehe...

So for this Update 3, what are Weather Readings? Indication on avionics?  or corrected/fixed ATIS/AWOS?

Unfortunately, the stable vs. open beta branch scheme seems to have been abandoned. As much as I judge the rapid success of updates I hate the steadily upcoming new issues.

Kind regards, Michael

Particle Effects, Contrails?

I am just as puzzled. Where did it mention the incoming effects?

I don't know I just keep dreaming, and still play FSX for this reason.

does particle effects include touch down smoke and blowing snow and sand under moving wheels?  or is it something else?

Probably a fps killer.

The updates repeat themselfs and have barely any relevent and interesting info. The same snapshots every work, some numbers for the additions to the store nobody cares for and the millionth screenshots that we alle have seen aleready.

That's pretty presumptive. I like to see if anything has changed with the roadmap or priorities, news about new store additions saves me having to go through the whole catalogue on the store to see if anything has changed, and the screenshots sometimes give me new ideas for places to go.

So there.

any idea what piper seminole update fixes. I cant tell as I have attempted the download twice now but at about 2/3 of the download MSFS crashes to desktop.

Much more reasonable icing?  Sometimes less is more....

And so useless unless you are a hunter for best screenshot awards.

I really hope the contrails are based on the aerodynamic and weather Engines, rather than repeatable textures that have no place in a “next gen” game - similarly with ground effects. why would third parties have to designate points on their aircraft when they already exist surely for the aero engine to function🤔

I want contrails that change dynamically as the aircraft moves through different weather.

I want to see rain on the windshield  - that moves with wind speed/prop/rpm etc

I want to see dynamic icing rather than repeatable textures

etc
 

I suspect we will merely end up with 15/20 year tech here, which will be a great shame IMO.

I'm really disappointed now. The one really important bug that make the Garmins so extremely bad is everything regarding changing a plan and the approaches. According to the update they won't fix the u-turn bug and just have it in the backlog... what the hell are they doing with the Garmins then?

I kind of hate that they provided exactly 0 info on what the sim update contains there. I have a feeling the list of improvements will be very short.
