SLC- Self Loading Cargo 1.6 Update, Released This Month

[paulwain 24]

Finally we have an update, I guess when it gets the release it looks like it has been worth the looooong wait. 

So excited for this update, even more excited now for the next update 1.7. 

Video is quite long but the demo was worth every minute. 😍

Release it first. No more excuses, no more word not allowed.

It has been frustrating but for 1 person to be doing it alone - and the current version we have works with few tweaks - no issue on my side I was happy with the wait

he said release beginning of July... still waiting !

whats up with the excuses people continue to make for this guy? A video preview (again). He made a video in October 2021 claiming an imminent release as well. Still doesnt look like there are any emergencies although his website claims there is in V1. This update looks to have alot of redundant things we already get from GSX too. It will be funny if August rolls around and it still isnt out. Same story, different year

I think SLC is a sort of test for how trusting someone is. People in general like to view others through projection; If *you* wouldn't do something, it's harder for you to put yourself in the perspective of someone who would. I think really honest people are more inclined to trust SLC's dev. Speaking from experience one of the most difficult things I've had to learn through my adult life is that everyone tells you want they need you to hear, not what you need to hear.

And what people need to hear is that Steve from SLC wants people to keep buying his product regardless of the amount of time he puts into developing it.

He said in that video end of June or start of July. We'll, he's defintly missed his end of June date and I'd suggest is rapidly running out of time for his start of July.

 

But this should come as no surprise. Missing deadlines and misleading people is standard ops for this developer.

It looks like he's done a lot with the program and hopefully it will beat the woefully stunted PACX which had great potential but was ignored in terms of further development.

Still waiting... hope it will be released soon !

I've got to say, as much as I have felt duped by the 1.6 update of this, that actually looks stellar and is closest to the multicrew experience I wanted when we discussed the state of passenger addons a few months ago.

The problem with PacX and LukeAirTool is that it doesn't feel like a multicrew experience. You're not hitting turbulence and telling the pax and crew to take their seat. You're not dinging the cabin at 10k feet so they can prepare the cabin and take their seats. They just don't feel "lived in" in the same way, for example, the FSLabs made such a positive impression versus the Aerosoft version of the same plane. This really seems to take the genre to a new level.

Now, I hope it at least comes out. If it does, Steve is going to have to do a little bit of housekeeping and relationship repair with all of us, because I feel like we were duped and left completely in the blind after the shutdown of the Discord, etc.

😂 I hear Steve just finished at the Star Citizen University for Release Date Management. Should be any day now!

It's such a shame that these products didn't go all in on the FSPax capabilities. In 2023 it's perfectly reasonable to expect a cabin program to have most of those 2009 era features.

FSCaptain was actually better than SLC for P3D, but they haven't made the hop to MSFS yet. If you want a product to keep on your radar: Keep an eye on FSFO (Flight Sim First Officer). It's a co-pilot addon right now, but the dev wants to branch off into FSPax capabilities and simulate the rest of the crew and the PAX. He's done really fantastic work and is active on his discord.
