Original pre-launch videos vs. current state?

[turner112 52]

Lots of things were shown/promised in the official pre-launch development and feature videos.

Which features shown in these original videos are still incomplete or missing?

3rd party fixes/solutions/addons do not count toward resolving incomplete/missing features.

Note: I tried adding a poll - can forum members add to the poll answers?

If you know of a post that asks the same question, please point me in that direction...
I honestly don't know - I haven't flown since last September, and the posts are too numerous to answer directly.

FYI I would have kept flying if the instrument capabilities & features were there, which they weren't.

Just read through the forum. Its full of posts of that kind.

As noted, the posts are too numerous. Much more efficient to ask people who know than to try to weed through everything hoping to find a current/definitive answer.

It isn't 'more efficient' to ask people who've been asked the same thing over and over again for the last seven days.

It is certainly more efficient if they know any answers & provide them. Far more efficient than weeding through unrelated commentary.
I don't know what the "last seven days" has to do with a question whose subject dates back a year, other than maybe that's around when the last update came out. But I'm not speaking specifically about the last update.

If people don't want to provide any insight, or don't know the answers, that's ok. I'm patient, which is why I'm still hoping for good news. I'll find out eventually, probably piecemeal, though not as efficiently as finding out from those able/willing to answer.

To date I haven't found this specific comparison (original promoted features vs. currently available native features). If you know of one, please share.

Seems like you are the one getting excited.

Why don't you go back and watch the video frame by frame and make a comparison video of the sim now. Problem solved

Yes i am excited about SU5 and really enjoying it. Thanks!

Maybe the OP should just give it a go and see for himself whats new and has been or has not been fixed?

Yeah, well many people are not having a great time with SU5, so there is that.

But everyone can only judge for himself. So asking others for their opinion is quite unsatisfying. You ask ten people, you get ten different results. Best way to find out what the sim is like is to go flying and see for yourself. Isnt it?

I think I'll stick with my outdated version for now thanks.... No reason to downgrade to worse graphics for better performance when performance wasn't even an issue on a laptop from 2017

I'm not asking for opinions.

I haven't had the sim since last September. I tried it for the first month on XBOX Live.

Actually, I don't know if I'd be able to re-subscribe for just a month to check it out & "see for myself".

So, I'll go look, though based on the many negative comments around the sim's operation as well as the response of people who would rather fight than answer (assuming, of course, they actually know the answers) I feel like I generally know what I'll find out...

But I'll try to remain optimistic that this will end up differently than Flight.
