Season pushed to 2022. Now that is a shame 🤢

Imho it's better they get it right and fix first the many problems we have now, than rushing out another half-baked new feature. If you use Bijans trees, you will have the most important aspects (foliage and snow) covered already now.

No mention of the pressing the escape key with the Spoiler/Flaps and throttle going to 50% after returning from the menu.... Nice

It's a cunning plan to push us to buy their wretched console controllers 😇

Anyone know when SU4 is coming? 

Sim Update 4 along with World Update 5 is scheduled for release in June. Next week's updated Development Roadmap might give us a more specific date.

Yesterday the community managers said in the forums that this issue, along with the multiplayer stuttering and ATC callsign bug, is still being fixed by the developers. They will probably push out a hotfix when they have successfully fixed them.

In other words, they do not know what they broke. With the last world update, they botched the scaling of aircraft controllers which is, in a first approach, not a scenery feature but they don’t know what is going on. Sweet.

Season are now listed as 2022 instead of 2021.

I recommend Bijans Seasons Tree mod.  It's really good and updated very regularly to add more tree types etc.

I was rather hoping that adding a hotkey to toggle taxi guidance on and off might have made it to the list.

You can already save controller profiles. I have three, one for each aircraft I currently fly plus the default.  Do you "rename" them in the "preset manager" once you have set your bindings ?

That's not what I mean. All my saved profiles are occasionally being overwritten to the same settings. I want to be able to save them to a backup file.

This is most likely what @MaVe64 was talking about (link to my post with more details about FS2020 config files):

Backup function (export / import) for the controls settings - Self-Service / Wishlist - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

This one is important too:

Ability to have separate control setups for each plane without having to manually switch between 20+ controller profiles? - Self-Service / Wishlist - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Either they just don't care, or the code must be an absolute disaster.

Except that when a controller comes out of sleep, the same thing happens.😉

Seasons hasn't been pushed back. It's been removed. The feedback screenshot has been updated. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/blog-april-22nd-2021-development-update/394579

At the same time, they accepted my application so my season pack will be on "Marketplace Partner Program".

Congrats! I've been waiting nearly 9 months they answer to my application... (let alone the rest) 🤐

PS: I've forgotten to say, I'm still waiting...

Thank you and hope you get approved soon. That's a long time.

All perfectly grizzly, but anyone know when the QW787 for 2020 will be released?
