Update opt-in opt-out

Recommended Posts

Flight simming since the 1980s. Not a casual simmer, but rather hardcore. Building a home cockpit as of writing (A320).

Asobo/MS can we please, please NOT be forced to update when YOU choose, rather when WE, your customers chooses!??

Every update since release broke things. The only improvements are some eye candies, i.e. 'World updates', which are great in general, but not if other qualities of the sim decrease!

I know that having different versions amongst the users can create support nightmare, just do not offer support for people, that do not have the latest version.

The majority of software these days, from Apple iOS to Windows 10, or the apps on my iPad/phone/PC/X-Plane give you a choice, when to update, so this suggestion is in no way a out-of-the-box thinking.

The user experience should be your priority, do not force things down our throats that are not well tested and solid.

By the way, I am a fan, a huge fan! You build a tremendous, next generation sim and growing pains are expected.

But I am dreading the next update.

My 2 cents Canadian.

the only reason to wait with an update is so in case there are problems others can have them and I can wait for a fix.

I think they should do public betas like SCS do with their truck sims.  People can opt in or not and after they are fairly sure they have the bugs worked out THEN they can force it on people.

Its entirely possible to simply not fly after an update until you check for horror stories online but thats not much of an answer 🙂

I think this topic may have been discussed previously in a different context. For better and for worse, MSFS is not a standalone flight sim, that resides on everyone's individual desktop/laptop home computer. Rather, its architecture involves close-coupled synchronization between local resources and cloud-based data processing. This, in turn, requires that the desktop versions comport to what has been deployed on the cloud servers all over the world.

In principle, at least, it might be possible to maintain multiple version sets simultaneously, but given the experience so far, it seems that it's hard enough for Asobo and Microsoft to synchronize this complex architecture for the current version alone. It would be asking a lot to now ask them to maintain and deploy multiple versions simultaneously. For those of us who want to maintain control over our flight sim desktop versions, there are excellent products already available. MSOBO are clearly trying something very different, and to some extent, they are succeeding. Good luck to them in moving the state of the art forward.

You can always continue to fly with xp or p3d until you think it's safe. Good luck
