Hi All,

As the title suggests, I cannot seem to find any recent Dev team Q and A's on their twitch channel, and there does not appear any in their upcoming schedule. Did they decide to stop doing them?

If that is the case it would be a shame, I really did enjoy watching them!

 

Always possible that I have missed them somewhere! I think the last one was over a month back, possibly longer.

Many thanks!

 

There's an announcement in the official forum: 1830Z on Nov. 18

it's just sometimes longer intervals between the updates now. They seem to have abandonded their strict monthly updates rhythm. 

Which is propably a good thing.

And lastly, earlier this week we announced that the date for our next Developer Q&A is November 18th, and our next SDK Q&A is on November 23rd! You can submit and vote on questions for our Developer Q&A here, and questions for our SDK Q&A here!

Thanks chaps I don't know how I missed it! 

Yeah I don't really have an issue with them slowing down on updates in order to polish them up a bit!

Many thanks!

They are pointless most of the times they don't understand the question or give a completely wrong answer 

Bit harsh there; I for one am grateful that they spend their time to answer questions from the community and explain some of the features and other behind-the-scenes things. Of course they can't be on top of everything, or know every single detail of questions asked on the spot. I think a say two-month schedule is fine for these QA sessions.

Personally, I really wish they will answer the question about advanced weather radar SDK.

You forget to add the ever smiling Joerg trying to smile away any potential criticism. As I again (for the third time) posted a question about the bugged snow coverage this time even being up in the top 3 of all questions, I really wonder if it will be discussed or ignored like the two other times I asked the same question...

They will probably answer the guy who asked about birds in MSFS. 

And the seeming lack of interest in fixing the VR code.

I fly nearly exclusively in VR those days, but having watched the field I am afraid we've seen a decline of innovation during the last couple of years. Yes, there are a few new devices on the horizon but with combined prices for the headset + GPU beyond what the average user (or even 1/4th of it) is willing to pay. 

While VR provides a second to none experience of actually flying, I would call image quality just poor. Now, my system is dated and will be replaced soon, but I am afraid, image quality will still not compete with a high-quality 4K screen.

The next Navigraph Review will provide some up-to-date figures. However, MS certainly has some more background on developments than us poor users and  strictly focuses on fields with a maximum bang for the buck. 

As much as I may dislike this, I wouldn't exclude VR going the way of 3D screens and some other stuff.

Kind regards, Michael

Thanks Michael, it's always good to see your thoughts. I must have followed you all over the Internet, from P3D to Aerofly to here!

I could not agree more. Completely apart from MSFS, the resolution of even the finest VR headsets today is mediocre at best. I've been counting on Apple to come up with something great. But I read an article a few days ago that suggested Apple's entry into the VR-headset market has been delayed at least another two years due to technical problems.
