Who remembers the old Project Tupolev 154M for FS9?

Wasn't that the one where the developer immediately threw a massive temper tantrum as soon as anyone suggested providing tool tips in English? 😆

It will be finished in 2048 but you can already pay for it early acces

Love the green cockpit and the analog gauges 😀

The fan is exactly the same as in the Mi-XXX helicopters 😅

No, the "developer" was a group of people actually and tooltips were available for most part, though not all instruments.

At any rate, I'm sure you can still get a refund for the big bucks you had paid for it...

god finish the ERJs first

Sorry to be picky but you mean the E-Jets 😉

The ERJ series is a completely different aircraft series.

ERJ = ERJ135-145

E-Jets = E170-E195

Yeah let’s get the art team to work on systems cause that’s a great use of your workforce. that 3D modeller will make a great contribution to the autopilot rework.

That's exactly the point. Maybe FSS should allocate their limited budget on additional programmers that understand AP dynamics and finish an "experimental" plane that's been languishing for three years, verses spending money on 3D modelers starting a new project.

Finally something different!

And if their 3D modellers are employed, you're suggesting they should.. fire them? Then when they've fired the modellers, spend money on hiring programmers, spending 6 months acclimating them to the codebase. Only to finally finish the E-Jets, left with a team only consisting of programmers, which you now need to fire because you need modellers, animators, sound designers etc for the next project. As oppossed to utilising their current workforce to start working on the next form of cash flow, where they are best suited?

Not to mention adding more programmers to a situation doesn't suddenly equate to faster development times.

This is fairly simple project management stuff in most businesses, it really isn't that difficult to fathom why FSS is doing what they're doing.

Yes its a moot point at this juncture. The community that has been supporting FSS has seen several new airplane models get developed and brought to market in the last three years, while the Ejets were stays "experimental". Clearly FSS has struggled to find developers that can build a working AP for the Ejet. I'm sure its very difficult to find that kind of skillset in the marketplace, but that was the suggestion. Find those folks, finish the Ejet, then start on the next one with modelers etc. Much better way to build brand equity than promise "coming soon" for three years.

Yes, saw the last post and from everything I've read in the discord, the plan is to release v1.0 next week. Btw, the last experimental release was a huge step backward and basically broke what was almost a fully working AP. I'll be interested in seeing how well the V1.0 performs.
