April 25, 20242 yr Regarding 2024 I just wanted to be able to read somewhere that Petrovich talent in flight dynamics for flight simulation is going to be the reason for deep changes to MSFS Fdm... That would turn me into a true believer...

What are that many people producing then? I don't see output from 700 people. How could you see it when 2024 isn't out yet? 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.

I accept the team may have grown since. However, like you, I am looking forward to MSFS2024, to which I am sure, most people are now working on. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind). I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio. Intel 14900K in a Z790 motherboard with water cooling, RTX 4080, 32 GB 6000 CL30 DDR5 RAM, W11 and MSFS on Samsung 980 Pro NVME SSD's. Core Isolation Off, Game Mode Off.
April 25, 20242 yr What worries me is that nothing is said or done about the servers used to eliminate the frustrating "insufficient bandwidth" message. These reports, with what I understand that, at least in my case, are appearing more and more during the hours where, depending on the geographical areas, there are more active users, are a limitation and IMHO, should be taken into greater consideration by professionals considering the importance of graphics in MSFS 2020.
April 25, 20242 yr The 700 number includes their partners not just people working full time on the sim. Edited April 25, 20242 yr by Tuskin38

I have never once seen that message in four years of this game.
April 25, 20242 yr I think there are thousands of addons created by users on flightsim.to. And if you search for "MSFS" on youtube and check the filter box for 1 day, you will probably find about a couple dozen new videos every day. Some of them have maybe only 10 views or so, and they go mostly unnoticed. But they are there. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.
April 25, 20242 yr What's the betting that SU16 will principally contain the stuff backported from 2024? I have my doubts that we'll ever see SU17 unless it's planned as a final bugfix version. Give people power to really test their personality.
April 25, 20242 yr This level of proactive and engaging attitude is for me THE number one reason MSFS does so very well no doubts. Watching this kind of streams is music to my ear. Well deserved AMD 9950X3D, Nvidia 5080, custom-made liquid-cooled OEM Virpl throttle, Control panel, and Collective Gufighter flightstick

I love these definitive statements from those who apparently 'know'...what exactly is a partner? and how do you actually know what this 700 figure is supposed to include?

April 25, 20242 yr 12 hours ago, F737MAX said: There's a reason why the more complex details (e.g. Garmin units) are being added to the platform and the expense incurred of creating a digital twin Earth. And it isn't for 'casual gamers' on Xbox. Speaking of the "digital twin Earth", does anyone remember Microsoft Train Simulator? If MS/Asobo get it right, they can use the baseline MSFS platform for literally anything. There are dozens of "sims" on Steam... Euro Truck Sim and American Truck Sim are pretty huge, but imagine flying FedEx cargo from LAX to ORD, then hopping into an 18-wheeler to pick up the cargo and transport it to a distribution center? Now imagine all the commercial applications for a "digital twin Earth" with a realistic weather and physics outside of transportation simulation. A part of my brain remembers MS having a commercial application from the FSX days that TV stations used for virtual weather forecasts... not sure if that is still a thing, but with increased photogrammetry resolution and the help of AI, they could build the MSFS world into a platform for everything from real estate to government milsims to a full world metaverse that would make Zuckerberg retire.

The number I gave came from the dev live stream, I didn't make it up. They said there were around 700 people working on the sim and that around 200 of those are at Asobo, They didn't define what they meant by partners, but I assume it's the third party groups like WorkingTitle, IniBuilds, Gaya etc that develop things that come with the sim updates, the handcrafted airports and landmarks that come with world updates city updates, plus the famous flyers and local legends aircraft.

April 25, 20242 yr None of the update news of 2020 or 2024 means much unless MS servers stay online up there in the clouds spinning straw into graphic gold. Yay! Great news!
