Have you flown it Ryan? I have not. I was only fortunate to fly Cherokee 6 and Lance

Nope I've never flown the dakota, only the original cherokee 140, warrior II and Archer (and the Arrow III)

I agree...the dakota irl is a great plane - it's a true 4 seater plus tanks kinda plane.  Like an Archer on steroids hehe.

Hopefully it has a basic AP though for longer flights.

It gives me Dreamfleet 2000 vibes 🙂

AP and hopefully no neon GNS530/430

Some great things coming for FS2020 with sim update 16! New aerials and DEM from 2024, same world data as 2024, and several other upgrades. Looks like they aren't ignoring it after all.

People like that tend to do more harm than good. I've been gaming since the late 80's and I have seen companies leave their genre when criticisms got too much or went over the top.

All things considered, if that were true, I would've quit my career years ago, and X-Plane would've been abandoned some time around X-Plane 5.  According to Asobo, MSFS has sold millions of units.  If they quit for the sake of a few criticisms, in the wake of making millions, they've got thinner skin than an onion.  I think it's agreed they're not going anywhere.

They changed minds about going to the Expo because simmers would have booed them offstage, for dividing the community, turning this into an unstable Flight Game, and the chaotic development. They also don't want to be anywhere near an audience regarding the new PlayStation announcement.

Please, Please, PLEASE. Go away. Seriously you are such a sad person. Every single time I see you post, you're spreading pointless negativity about Asobo/MSFS 2024. 

Why can't you go touch some grass? In the other thread people said the exact same thing to you as well. Why can't you follow up on that advice?

By quoting doom-mongers, you are spreading their misery to those of us that have them on their 'ignore' list 😉

More hot air then I see. And bottling the FS expo? No more to say.

P.S Good to see WT are placing their efforts in to ATC, as was advised 2 years ago. Oh wait, no, another new plane, that we can land at airports and watch taxi signs pop in to place etc etc etc...

Asobo breeds cynicism, they never help themselves. If I were them I would stop giving these Q&A's. They are starting to make them look stupid now. 

2024 has some wonderful features. No doubt about it. It also has some absolutely stupid regressions. And some ridicluous bugs. It has been said before and it will be said again; focus on the core sim and then add all the fluff afterwards! Seems like they have taken on too much. And nothing they do is proving otherwise as of yet.

Agreed.  I can't watch them because I can't stand hearing the near worthless contribution of Asobo's own version of the Gruffalo.  Please let me know when he isn't in one.

I agree that they don’t really touch on core sim issues much anymore. They did much more of that in the lead up to the releases.

In saying that they are working on the sim so let’s see where it all goes. I’m looking forward to SU4 because apparently night lighting improvements are in.

You Can Ignore me, but you can't hide from the truth. Msobo Devs have proved again and again, they break promises, release buggy updates and have terrible quality controls. This is Not acceptable. Open your eyes!

Excuse my ignorance, but why do you call them "Msobo"?

I would suggest a step past touch and go right on to smoking grass, and perhaps lots of it.  And if that doesn't cure the depression move on to psilocybin?

You're ignoring the other truth:  thousands use either or both versions of MSFS w/o real issues, I'm one and remain amazed by how good both sims are.  I asked you this a month ago and you never replied:  WHAT is your ultimate agenda here, seriously?  Are you hoping maybe you will spawn a massive boycott and try to finish off both sims and put Msobo out of business permanently?  I'm pretty sure that's it because nothing you ever say is balanced nor constructive.  If it's not that, then it's just a vial attempt at getting 'likes' out of Avsim users.

I am here to hold Devs accountable for: broken promises, bad releases, buggy sim updates, poor development standards and lack of product support. 

Here we go, the unregistered dog appears again.  Sook.
