with nobody holding even a simple private pilot license in all of Asobo at the time

That's not true at all. Several of the devs got licenses during the pre-release development of the game. They also work with outside pilots as well when developing aircraft.

Asobo, unlike Stu Moment (aerobatic, multi-engine IFR pilot) CEO of BAO/Sublogic which later on became Microsoft FlightSimulator, Bruce Williams (Microsoft FSX program manager ( pilot for 30 years and aerobatic flight instructor) and Austin Meyer/x-plane had no major aviation background, let alone an IFR pilot license or experience with modern glass cockpit software development. Sebastian Wloch got his private pilot license 25th of may 2020, just in time for 3 months later, release of MSFS.

why would Jorg Neumann/Microsoft have brought The Magnificent Five -  a.k.a. Working Title onboard to work exclusively on the CJ4 and later the Garmin glass cockpits?

Asobo's background was game development, creating virtual worlds and a great graphics engine. Joerg Neumann inspired them to create MSFS.

@turbomax soooooo you're shifting the goalpost.

I prove you wrong, so you shift the goalpost, nice.

"I prove you wrong"

really?

the other developers had aviation in their blood (IFR multi engine- aerobatics - flight instructors - pilots for decades before they developed flight simulators), that's why they developed a flight simulator and nothing but flight simulators. Asobo on the other hand was all about developing games and virtual worlds, until someone else (Joerg Neumann) came along and said: hey, how about a flight simulator, here is the FSX source code. see if you can build a flight simulator around the game and graphics engine that you got already. only then did they begin taking flight lessons etc. very different from those who had aviation in their blood ever since they were kids. but no need to argue any further. I simply wanted to share some background about several flight simulator developers.

How is it that you know so much of the personal lives and backgrounds of these developers?  Speculation or facts. If facts, source please.

Came in here to see if there was a new SU10 update out, and as per there is a pointless argument going on…. 

I see SU10 was delayed too?

Yep delayed to get the performance back, which in a large part was done in the last update the other day. Hopefully another one or two updates to fix other regressions/issues and further performance optimisation to come though before public release (fingers crossed).

Nothing has changed here lol. 

Yeah, SU10 was delayed for a few weeks, pending further optimizations.

make sure you have a monitor that is capable of HDR, mine is not. 😀

They adding the DX12 memory setting back?

according to Martial (last twitch session) they are working on it, but not sure it will be there from Nvidia in time for SU10 release. I personally doubt it will be ready in time.

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:

People on the team already had their PPLs by that time. When you realized this you shifted to how qualified they were. This is textbook shifting the goalpost. In any case, who cares if they didn't have aviation in their blood? If they can get the job done, who cares if they outsource? MSFS will have the most high fidelity default airliner in November but they had to get iniBuilds to do it. Boo hoo, wahh wahh. No one cares. Austin has all of those qualifications but X-Plane is getting the stuffing beat out of it by MSFS. It is all about resource management. Not bad for a team of people who didn't have aviation in their blood because MSFS is the best flight sim I ever used 🙂

Think that's to do with Nvidia so depends if they find the fix/issue in time, might happen in time for public release though.
