Wow... another bird gone under my (or maybe our) radar !

[TooLowTooSlow 214]

I was totally unaware that a KC-10 and eventually a DC-10 were currently under development.

Absolutely love the looks of the DC-10 (and why not its military variant), and was surprised not to find a single thread on those here at AVsim.

More info here: https://msfsaddons.com/2022/02/27/aero-dynamics-updates-on-kc-10-dc-10-development-for-msfs/

When and if those birds are ever finished to a highly-detailed standard they could very well become top of the list among my fav rides in msfs.

Certainly wishing the dev team Godspeed on those two 😛

Cheers,

Smells like forever... if ever...

smells like PMDG, minus the " this will be free!"  😊

The definition of baitware

Not getting excited about anything until I see it in beta stage.

LOL

Love the positive vibes at AVsim. Quite something, isn't it?

I agree. Pretty much vaporware hype until it's ready to be released. Showing a couple of renders and a long list of "planned" features doesn't really cut it in my book.

A lot of people would say stay positive, but if you've been in Flight simulation long enough, like myself and I'm assuming you have too, we've been burned soo many times from all these early preview shots and renders in the past. That's why I do agree with a lot of companies now showing progress shots further down the development line. Anyone can go check Fsdevelopers show room and set the dates back lets say to 2006-7 and count how many projects that have been shown and are now dead 😛

Why would anyone be a MSFS developer?

You spend thousands of hours working on a FREE product, providing updates as you go along, and the misery merchants on Avsim attack you for effectively lying, and building 'baitware.'

It's funny how those criticizing this kind of thing is almost ALWAYS those who have contributed absolutely nothing to the community other than their regular injections of cynicism and misery.

The guy above me talks about being 'burned.' What free products have you been burned by? How can you be burned by something that costs you absolutely nothing?

I actually agree with them (The developers)....

Not giving a date or time when you aren't sure you can meet it is the best approach... you give a tentative date, you don't keep it, people scream at you like you slaughtered a puppy.

So yeah, not baitware, smart developers

As someone that's done development work, you have literally no idea the volume of hours that go into creating anything halfway passable... reading people word not allowedting on you always makes you want to work harder 😄 (sarcasm)

Temp is rising and very close to the rabbit hole.

It's more realism. In most instances.
