NXi not a groundbreaking feature and is only for Xbox? 🤔

Thanks to WT. Does Asobo themselves actually do anything?

Broken how?

Just ignore @hobart escin.  It's a new account, and according to @hobart escin's comment from a few months ago, he/she doesn't even use MSFS anymore:

Thanks guys for the info - kinda figured as much.  Just no. 

MSFS2020 uninstalled, XBox Game Pass subscription canceled. 

Total loss to me:  $1 

Frustration factor avoided: priceless. 

SSD space recovered: 150mb

  

Prepar3d, prepar3e to be loved all over again.    😘

 

Oddly enough, if you look at @hobart escin's comment history, I only see criticisms of MSFS.  Haven't seen @hobart escin post in the P3D forum, not even one post in the P3D forum, I only see comments from that account criticizing MSFS.

I doubt it, they play MSFS all day long.

Hasn’t every release following the initial launch been primarily aimed at Xbox optimization? Let’s be honest here.

I do find it comical that a build that achieves SU9 levels of DX11 performance is being hailed as something so great. It just shows how low our expectations are. If it’s not worse than the last release it’s a win! Sheesh. 😞

This pretty much sums up the situation, lol.

Not really, but everyone has their own reality.

Funny enough the first iteration of DX12 in SU10 gave me best performance so far. DX11 is currently good but DX12 was a bit more solid at first. I'm looking forward to Nvidia sorting things out.

I looks like clouds are affected by ground lghting again. Was the fix mentioned in any patch notes?

I didn't see it mentioned, but I posted pictures earlier in here.

Yes they fix bugs we report, and develop the sim, and hired WT.

It just seems that since launch, Asobo’s main focus has been optimizing this sim to play on the Xbox which has brought a lot of hurt for PC users along the way. And Xbox optimization has taken time away from improving core components like ATC, weather or TurboProp modelling which are largely the same as 2 years ago.

Fortunately they have improved the SDK/APIs, although most 3rd party developers would probably say it’s still minimally viable.

I have to use addons for nearly everything because the sim has so many deficiencies, it’s mind boggling… Let me say that again… 2 years later and you need add-ons to cover nearly every aspect of the sim. Many even find the much lauded scenery needs to be enhanced with add-on high res mesh, seasons, trees, marinas, shoreline fixes, textures from Google or Bing newer maps.  It really is pretty ridiculous that after 2 years nearly everything in the sim needs an add-on to fix it. It’s depressing.

no. that was Joerg from Microsoft who saw that Asobo was not up to the task, with nobody holding even a simple private pilot license in all of Asobo at the time, whereas WorkingTitle have a real Citation IFR rated pilot and a real Garmin G1000 in their group:

"Hi, Rob from Working Title here. ...... One clarification to make is that we haven't been hired directly. Working Title are now Working Title Simulations, LLC, and the five founders have all decided to leave their day jobs to work on this enterprise full time.

Working Title will be officially partnering with Microsoft to support the ongoing development of MSFS."
