I can't remember if then Asobo will review them and include them in the base Sim like X-Plane does, or if it's a library that people can download from. Edited March 22, 20233 yr by Tuskin38

March 22, 20233 yr I think it's only to allow users to update generic information like taxiways and parking spots - not actually alter or add structures to airports. And yes, I also read that the amendments would be voted in, but I'm not clear on the mechanism.

March 22, 20233 yr Commercial Member I hope Papua New Guinea receives special treatment and that they manage to capture in a realistic way the atmosphere of this bush flying paradise. Nice choice for a WU.
March 22, 20233 yr Great developer stream once again by MS/Asobo, here are my notes with timestamped links:WASM + XBox https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1772471519?t=00h11m23s important to note some of the support coming here also helps someone like PMDG looking to implement their C++ based codebase for both PC and XBox Helicopter improvements (Seb) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1772471519?t=00h14m27s smoothed governor activation engine RPM added support for governor switch for turbine engines added support for engine trimmer improved support for correlators, multi engine, rotor friction, brake Thermals + gliders improvements (Seb) https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1772471519?t=00h17m06s based on tonnes of feedback from community, lot of improvements impact of sunlight energy: time of day, date, wind ... impact of clouds ... impact of storm clouds and winds extreme thermals and turbulence conditions turbulence control now available, does not take away thermals video on improvements in realistic turbulence mode: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1772471519?t=00h18m29s thermals are very dependent on solar irradiance, latitude, time of day, etc play a big role thermals are quite well aligned and appropriate according to clouds (and clouds' density/etc) in the sim now keep in mind the visual representation don't quite show the true alignment in sim since it's visually hard to do wind shear, vortex systems etc can arise in extreme situations there are more planned improvements to keep improving thermals, and to keep implementing more from community feedback and gathering feedback from more pilots AI/Traffic improvements https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1772471519?t=00h24m32s fixes/changes detailed in release notes Q: are there are deeper architectural improvements coming for AI/traffic? ...

Nice choice for a WU. Given that the WU is made with ORBX and ORBX had a very nice PNG scenery for Prepar3d, we could have hopes. Not sure, if those who once made PNG are still with ORBX those days, though.

March 22, 20233 yr Eugh nothing about weather again. For me, that’s the biggest thing I would like to see improved. Clouds back to as good as they used to be, lightning, and thunderstorms back, weather either accurate to meteoblue forecast or metar. Would also like to see LOD distances but back to how they used to be, rather than the smaller distances we see detailed terrain displayed now.

March 22, 20233 yr So finally, we didn't get back to the "What about freeware in the Market Place" 😉 And I wasn't enough to send something in the chat box 😉 Vincent B. Check my free MSFS sceneries : https://flightsim.to/profile/vbazillio/trending and my hardware configuration.

Last month or so I've been flying around the Marshall Islands, Kiribati, etc. in the Islander. Truly awesome flying, but 100% agree. I would really, really like to see them define a lot more of the small fields, I'm sure they will. Also, a surface type for coral runway would be rad - I've run into plenty of airports that say coral but it's grass, or the strip is entirely missing and we're going somewhere else now.

I really wish that the WU focussed more on improving the terrain textures rather than just adding POIs. I can’t say I’ve ever been one to fly around looking at POIs but am always looking at the terrain textures. And some of it is really bad still even in areas where there has been WUs. Of course just my view, I’m sure others love checking out the POIs.
