    I wish you well in getting your bucket list items, but I really do keep in mind that the amount of time and effort and manpower that has already gone into this sim is completely unprecedented. I

Yeah, I was hoping it might have a few more quality of life fixes in it

Well, since you're asking (with so many question marks I can only assume some level of incredulity) lets start with any one of the 45 wish list items that have hundreds of votes yet remain untouched. I was expecting any one of those.

The first four updates were supposed to be focusing on bug fixes after the poor state of the sim at release (which they did) with the 5th onwards bringing new features as well as further bug fixes, as detailed by Jorg himself.

Now it's obvious there still a large pile of initial release issues to iron out which they doing with this update, but where are the new features? Where are the team not doing a Q&A? Where's  the updated development roadmap? Of course plans can change which is perfectly acceptable, but there's been radio silence so no explanation.

Personally I very much welcome more bug fixes, but after being so open and transparent the recent blank silence is raising questions on what is happening.

I'm sure the issues are being worked on. But at the risk of keeping the sim stable, maybe some of the fixes would break something else and cause an unstable platform. I'm sure they have a list of fixes now and test to see what else breaks.

I don’t know, but others have asked the same question. I always thought it a bit too bright in comparison to the rest of the starfield.  YMMV. TANSTAAFL.  Blue skies,

Im feeling with the sudden lack of developer stream, no roadmap updates, still no new features with su5. And with the disaster launch of mfs2024 Im afraid that microsoft is losing interest in flightsimulator and that the title will suddenly shut down. In the end of the day its all about income and money.

They have.  

This SU is mainly back end stuff, a lot of fixes not always visible to the user.  This isn't an SU where they're redoing or adding huge features.  However they did add obstacle red lighting which looks amazing, just like irl with twinkling red antenna lights.  Great for VFR and IFR flight at night.

The world have changed and nothing is anymore as it was and never will, and that now includes everything that's happening in this world, including Asobo and MS, maybe more that we would think !!

Maybe we never will see a MSFS2028..

cheers 😉

Previous Betas have shown that is not the case.

They just released a beta, showing they're still working on the sim.

I thought that too a few weeks back.  But then I just realized I was having a bad day.  There's a new xbox console on the horizon, more users in 2024 than ever before, a TON of addons coming out this year.  I don't think the sim is going to fail anytime soon.  They may just be quiet doing dev work.  They have some things on the burner for certain - the in house Embraer Praetor is taking up a lot of their time - it's going to be more in depth than their already superb Longitude.  Obviously they have a lot of bug fixes still.
