January 3, 20224 yr I think the new Scenery Gateway should accept more than just airports, specifically VFR + Effects. Why stop at airports? We have all these photogrammetry bridges with curtains. They could be fixed by talented community developers. Same for World VFR why not include those sceneries in the base sim. Same goes for effects, for instance the new Fireworks effects. Why reinvent the wheel, include in the base sim and credit all the community developers. http://youtube.com/c/Greazer

If you peruse flightsim.to you'ld be amazed how many of the bridges are already fixed. I've downloaded and installed everyone I could get my hands on along with some payware from Rkbridger at simmarket. Makes a huge difference. Many US and European cities are covered by these improvements. Not only that, but there are some really talented VFR landmark producers like mv46 and droide covering castles and other european architectural points of interest. Their models are not simple google map rips, but are efficient custom built creations that add a lot to the sim. I've download all of them and can attest to there being virtually no impact on FPS. If I were MS I would just be writing these guys a check and putting their work in a world update. They are really good!

Better world content does not impact FPS, it is the drawing settings which does. And it takes a lot of effort to manually download and install each one and monitor the updates that come. Better if those can be submitted to MS to be checked and be part of official world scenery. http://youtube.com/c/Greazer
January 3, 20224 yr To open up freely to adding assets and 3D models that Asobo havent made isnt a very good thing. They need to have control so something doesnt break the performance of the sim both on pc and xbox. So i think it will never happen. Its the same with xplane scenery gateway. You can only use their own lego bricks.

The admin staff check everything, the file size, performance, accuracy etc etc. If it is deemed to pass then it can become official content. Obviously for VFR, users would be submitting new assets but the size and all must be acceptable (minimum). http://youtube.com/c/Greazer

The way the scenery gateway works is to build airports with the assets allready made by asobo.

Typically yes for airports, but for any vfr objects and effects they could accept original assets such as unique bridges or castles etc, test they work and check file size is small etc and then include in MSFS. Why reinvent the wheel. http://youtube.com/c/Greazer

Why reinvent the wheel. Of course your point is great, but i doubt Microsoft will ever do it like that because Its so much in licensing and legal stuff involved. And making a free to submit your own 3D assets will require a huge team just to control and approve all of it.
January 4, 20224 yr Author Usually there is a checkbox to accept terms/conditions so shouldn't be a big deal 😋 http://youtube.com/c/Greazer
January 4, 20224 yr The addition of assets to fix, clean up, and add to the world was what I envisioned the gateway to provide. If it was properly curated as stated above, the world could be a better place.
