so no product, no videos, just marketing and hyping up gash. this is really getting ridiculous, this is supposed to be a forum for helping each other and useful info for flight sim enthusiasts. becoming a regular thing for posts like this, total nonsense. make a website showing your product, make a video, post video to youtube. market on said video, instead of trying to lure people in to something that doesnt exist.

oh wait, while im at it.... my new thing, i am building a flying bugatti out of recyclable water bottles, 0-60 in 1.7 thrown bottles, will have orange engine, ummmm blue wheels and a cb radio for ham users. coming soon.

In fairness he said the WIP video was being released tonight (wherever in the world that might be). Can you really not wait that long? I'm sure that when, or if, the video is released it will be followed with the "when will the product be released" brigades' comments. If it's one thing with Avsim, it's predictable. He did prefix the post with [TEASER] after all, and it should be taken in that context.

Hi Caps,

First of all, sorry for being a little late with the video, because a nasty migraine really knocked me out for a while :|

I also understand that some of you looked at our website and wondered why there are no elements, software or information about Flight Simulator. The reason for that is simple. ACE Solutions also works on AI-Based software for Aviation companies so the current website reflects that side of the company more than the simulator side. But I get it, this is a fair question so that's why we've purchased a new domain (ace-sim.com) and currently we're developing the website for our simulation related apps. It will be ready shortly.

Anyways... But instead of spending too much talking about the website, starting today I will show the product to you step-by-step.

A few of you also made some very interesting guesses about the special voices part but to be honest I really enjoyed reading them (: I cannot reveal anything on that side yet because it's totally legal related issues. Everything must be agreed before I reveal the names. Because we're talking about using people voices and those require some strict legal contract which we're about to complete.

For now today in the first video, I wanted to show you something much more basic, but IMHO super important. Which is Aircraft Movement.

In the simulator there are two ways to handle the AI Aircraft movement. You can use the default MSFS2024 Aircraft movement behavior, which is faster to implement but gives you an unrealistic effect and the other way of doing this is. Sit down, design and code your own aircraft movement engine. The second option I know is harder but we felt it was necessary for what we are trying to build.

To be more specific. We have all seen AI aircraft behave strangely in the sim: sudden jumps, robotic turns, awkward stop/start behavior, aircraft cutting across taxiways, or looking like they hit an invisible bump near the runway or taxiway. That is exactly the kind of feeling we wanted to avoid.

So in this short WIP video, you will see our custom movement engine in action.

This is not a hand-animated cinematic path. The aircraft is routed using the simulator’s own airport taxi graph. In this test, the airport graph contains more than 3500 nodes, and the route is calculated through that real taxiway network. The aircraft then follows that route using our own movement layer.

In the video, you will see a Pegasus A320 landing at LTFJ on 06R and then vacating the runway and taxiing over a longer route to Gate 301. This is all generated by our traffic controlment brain, executor and decision making engine. The brain calculates all the required nodes ) graphs the path by reading the charts and then executes it. This can't be vibe-coded (:

The important part for us is not only that the movement looks smooth, but that it is smooth while following a correct route from the airport’s own ground network.

I do not want to over-explain it. I would rather let the video speak for itself.

And ohhh! not to forget. Maybe you don't like the teaser post, or creating some kind of a negativity would be better for you but, no worries. Even my company's name "ACE Solutions" is coming from the legendary aviation game "Ace of Aces". So we love aviation and I'm a simmer myself for a very very long time.

I will do my best to share a video everyday, but as you know, I have a company to run and sometimes I'm pretty sure, life will not behave me good. If that happens, sorry for that already.

Ok let's start shall we?

Thats great, a video of a single AI plane taxiing, stopped right before the interesting part (the final parking) and showing absoluetly nothing that differentiates it from any other AI traffic addon. I am overwhelmed... not.

Thanks for the reply Chris. As I told in my last post, I will share everything step-by-step so that you guys can know how we developed this addon.

This video was shot nearly couple of months ago, while we were developing the movement engine. The purpose of this video was just to show how smooth the movement engine works. Because the jittering and un-smooth movement is a big problem with the simulator.

Anyways. The plan for the video sharing will be like this.

1. Movement engine
2. Multi aircraft handling
3. 3rd Party Connections
4. High traffic handling
5. Injecting VFR into IFR routes
6. Audio handling
7. Emergency handling
8. Squawk 7700 and see what's happening
9. Full Flight
10. Final thoughts

Was it mentioned somewhere already if this is a single purchase or an abo pricing?

Brace for impact « infrastructure is expensive… blabla… I hate subscription… Ai and promise-ambition require a lot of computing power… blabla… I have decided nothing yet… blabla » : https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/697016-teaser-something-very-different-is-coming/page/4/#findComment-577379

All this is a huge marketing teaser. Next could be « Premium access », « Early-supporter program » or « whatever-fancy-namelPartner-fund-the-dev ». I’m a dreamer of the world where ATC softwares for MSFS wasn’t never-ending-development and bug fix.

I’m ready to be surprised. Let’s wait and enjoy what we have today.

Ah ok, thx. So - in short - subscription. However flexible etc.

Depends on the price, but in general I'm then out already. Doubt the price will be really low (e.g. 5€ month/max). But we will see ...

I can't believe they let all these kids onto a serious forum... 😄😂

75 on Aug 30!!!

Simming since 1982 on my trusty Commodore 64!!

79 next month and still fit enough to fight with my pc. Don't always win though.

Let's see how it handles all the different ATC procedures all over the world, vectoring with terrain, separating traffic etc .etc. etc.

For all Atc software published before to get this integrated took a lot of time because procedures vary a lot all over the world.

So seeing is believing, smooth taxiing AI is not making a ATC simulator.

Not to be rude, but that video doesn’t really show us much of anything. I’d be much more interested in a simple audio file of how comms are handled (radio phraseology, timing, nuanced regional stuff). Not expecting the world, but at least a clear indication of what to expect.

For the past several months, our team at ACE Solutions has been quietly working on what has become the most ambitious aviation project we've ever undertaken.

Most ambitious aviation project "they" have ever undertaken and then releases a video of a default AI plane taxiing around with no audio and jerky camera movements....

Sorry, but this is one of the oddest product announcements I've ever seen....and it's not even clear what it even is! I'm surprised people are already asking how much this will cost...

This is actually worse than the 'something BIG is coming' announcement a few years ago.

I really feel ashamed being a member of this community these days. Whats wrong with people? The vibe in this thread is absolutely gross.

Someone is putting hard work and his time into a project hoping it will make the sim better for any of us and the people have nothing better to do than bash every little thing across the board. Yes, we've all been burned before. But word not allowed, give this project a chance. This cancel culture is just ridiculus. seriously. Is this the middle ages or TikTok or something?

Jeeeez

Nothing I would say.

It depends how you start your marketing. If you decide to start with superlatives without delivering anything, then I would say its very normal people are sceptical.
Why not start marketing when there is something really, really good to show where everyone could see in one trailer that this is the best software ever now.

Yes, and not only once. How many companies have been there, annoucing the best of the best and delivered standard or less?
