Next city update will be focusing on various places in France, and iniBuilds working on an airport (missed what city that was for)... all to align with Paris airshow.

Probably Paris-Le Bourget if it's tied to the Paris airshow?

EDIT: Tuskin beat me to it

Ya I didn't hear them mention anything about specific VR issues or regressions, but I guess even though VR usage is approx 15% per their estimates (and therefore VR related items never appear on top of the developer snapshots and prioritized backlogs), they are aware of the issues and it's not forgotten... that was my basic takeaway.

Matt Nischan of WT on now to talk about AAU2... Boeing 787 and 747 getting the WT treatment! (for 787 systems depth, comparison wise he says inbetween CJ4 and Citation Longitude... flight models for both updated and now hitting all the expected numbers, etc)

well, according to someone’s response to me further up this thread; AI doesn’t make them money. So, I’d imagine VR makes them even less? If that is the case, I presume the same response is warranted. Don’t get your hopes up. 😵‍💫

the issue is is they're word not allowed of the bugs that they introduced in past updates, it's common practice in gaming software development to fix those straight away - it's now been well over a year/18months+ since and yet here we are again with a dreadful response and terribly poor attitude with the same old "keep them happy" Martial speech.

my hopes were dashed months & months ago, but 1% of me was hoping for a full on answer tonight but all we got the same word not allowed we got last time they talked about VR in a Q&A which was in 2021.....their ignorance towards VR is obvious, that and I'm convinced they're simply not good enough to properly code for it and refuse to hire someone to do a job.

Wow having WT improve the heavies will certainly get me to try them out!

is that a functioning wx radar in the 74? Did they fixed it so FENIX, pmdg etc can implement it?
