Is it possible FSHud can (in future) activate the jetways and trucks for AI ? 😁

It depends on Asobo:

Or if it will have higher priority than VR support.
According current stage, it requires implementation of similar behavior that GSX does.

Well done! Perhaps the MSFS engine is less controlling than the ESP one.

n MSFS - this fight is even worse - you don't have privilege to make aircraft follow by waypoints - the only way is control the aircraft by yourself (simplified autopilot) - which also already works.

Providing it doesn't impact on overall performance I guess.

And last mention about nostalgic stuff - I guess FSX times was simpler, life was simpler and user's requirements was simpler.

Why would expectations 20 years ago be any different than now? For the serious pilot every sim has had its bugbears. We just learned to live with the ones Microsoft couldn't or wouldn't fix.

I was flying Concorde 12 years ago in FSX. I'm flying it now in P3Dv3.

Anyway, I only dropped in because of the mention of Radar Contact. Good luck with your venture. ATC programs are notoriously complex creatures so well done on what you've achieved to date.

Can't wait for 1.3 😎

Do you mean Jetway? Or isn't properly located at parking?

Yes jetways don't stick to planes when I use FSHUD with FSTL.
Without FSHUD the jetways stick correctly to the planes.

Same answer as mentioned here:

It was previously mentioned that the new voices are generated by the Amazon Polly text to speech service. Here is a webpage where you can listen to samples of Amazon Polly voices: https://play.ht/text-to-speech-voices/amazon-polly/

All FSHud voices are Amazon Polly generated and we plan to add more voices from another cloud services (Azure, Google TTS).
It is included in application and we are not asking our users for additional subscriptions on that.

They sound pretty good.

And much better than PF3 where you have to remember all this numbers for the menu’s like it was with MS-DOS 20 years ago!

I’ve been programming an app for MSFS over the past few days, and it’s all done in the console window of a version of Basic. So more like 40 years ago rather than 20. You would probably hate it! I’m going to claim that it’s a deliberate design choice to give a retro feel, though it may also be because I suck at C#. 🙂

Because the world moves on.

Yes, but the number of simmers who fly P3D v3 like you do is tiny. There's nothing wrong with flying P3D v3 if it works for you - which I know it does - but 98% of flight simmers have moved on from it.

Nobody is flying Sublogic flight sims these days except for reasons of extreme nostalgia (I actually have a copy of it for my C64, but I also understand that it's pretty mediocre as a sim!). Technology moves on, and what was acceptable to the average simmer in 2003 is now considered obsolete by the great majority.

Put your glasses on and check my sims in my signature. The only reason v3 is installed is to fly 32-bit FSL Concorde. As soon as the 64-bit version is released for v5.3 that old sim will be uninstalled.

As well as flying the aircraft I also do the FE’s job of moving fuel around the 13 fuel tanks. Rather more work than your Boeing or Airbus pilot has to do.

How are your Concorde flights going?

Ray, I think your hypothesis that consumer expectations haven't changed in the past 20 years is pretty radical. However, our discussion is moving far away from the thread's focus, so it's probably more of a hangar chat discussion for another time!
