  1. Past hour

    Haha, it’s sort of the same in the region of Norway I live in. When something’s ok, it’s probably outstanding 😅 Btw tried historical weather for the first time yesterday. Went back just a couple hours as I was a bit late to start a flight during daylight hours in the time zone where I live. It’s extremely simple to use. I just check the “sync” bow and set the time in MSFS.

    Same. However I tried it yesterday for the first time in ASFS, but only went back around two hours do do the flight during daylight. So it’s probably something I’ll use more. Not sure about going back weeks or even months though.

    Yes, and don't forget all of their light aircraft they have to support, including the local legend series for the sim, where they do lots, including the just released Do-31 and the upcoming Skyvan. I will say that some of the issues with the A300 / A310 seemed to be due to WASM issues in the simulator that have now been fixed (according to the recent developer twitch session), so it is worth giving them the benefit of the doubt on those issues. I wonder if the WASM stack overflow issue mentioned was causing the infamous drop out of the sky issue, as any stack overflow event is normally pretty catastrophic.

    Whoaa bush tires on a Tomahawk?! I guess that would be… fun 😅 Trying to image it with some Alaskan monster tires

    Heavens no 😶

    Maybe they want to keep the lights on because they'd like to continue to milk those who stay on MSFS2020 via marketplace sales. Maybe they anticipate that the two sims address somewehat different markets or audiences, so more than we assume would stay on 2020.

    Sweet! I’ll get it the minute it’s out ☺️ Of course I won’t use the pseudo-AP in the EFB. Or at least not tell anyone that I did 😉

    Yes it's really odd, though tbh the way it was done with that Tournament play-off thing was rather silly imo

    Yes, we definitely prefer a more direct approach, which often seems rude to people who're not used to it. 😇 In Germany, there's a saying which literally tanslated says "Not scolding is praise enough". So I'd agree the title to be meant in a positive way by Emanuel.

    I do wonder why that 24 hour limit is there. I suppose that once the sim can handle historical weather (or rather out-of-sync "live weather"), it might also be able to handle 48 hours old weather, or 300 days, as long as the data is there. It might simply be that their contract with MeteoBlue does not allow them to store weather information on Microsoft servers or perhaps they managed to stretch the way the sim uses weather without actually changing the code to allow for real historical weather.

    Very good news for everyone who like to fly with historical weather 🥳 Myself, only fly with Live Weather…

    I believe iniBuilds hired more developers though. So they actually have more developer resources in total. Granted, it may take time to train developers so that they are up to speed on the API (both iniBuild's API and the MSFS API), and they are also up to speed with certain knowledge needed to develop aircraft (if they don't have that knowledge already). But assuming iniBuilds can get those developers up to speed, they can afford to spend the same number of developers per aircraft project. Then it's simply a matter if they can get the proper management in place to oversee their projects. It's the same thing with PMDG. I believe PMDG hired more developers as well, so they are now working on multiple projects at the same time - 777, 737 Max, and the secret unspecified project. For PMDG, the challenge is management, that is, can Randazzo oversee all the different project and ensure quality, and if he can't, then did Randazzo hire managers (or promote older employees to managers) to help oversee all the multiple projects.

    Possibly, although I noted from elsewhere that: "Professional certification is not decided yet for MSFS 2024, but ‘experimentation’ is ongoing." 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.

    24 hours will be sufficient for most of us. Except for those wanting to fly in a particular season or recreate a real world situation of course. Hopefully they will also add historical traffic to match.

    I laughed out loud in disbelief when is was said about 700 people are working on the project, with 200 on the core team at Asobo. Really? What are that many people producing then? I don't see output from 700 people. If there are, they must be working part time one hour per day, with just one on the bug fixing, and another one reading their own forums for about one minute per week. Like I said earlier, the response to the long running tiling issues in DX11 / DX12 was appalling. I am glad that they got called out in the live questions over their response to this, even though it did seem to upset Jorg. I am just worried about Jayne's job now after she wouldn't let the issue go, as it did seem to rattle them - but good on her! In one fleeting instant, it shows they can't take the community loyalty for granted. As for the comments on 'why waste time on 2020', I think it is obvious they wont now. The next SU is next year (which I find unbelievable with all the current outstanding issues), and any other improvements will be back ported from 2024 (only where they can), which costs them next to nothing. I think it is clear to see where their focus lies now (they basically admitted it in this twitch session), so I can only hope we are going to see it earlier than expected, or at least not delayed past August / September.

    It urgently needs bush tires for the last step to perfection!
  18. St Mawgan
    Yeah, it's ok. Due out in about an hour and a half.
  19. jcomm
    It's still how I see it, the GTA flightsim, but it looks gorgeous!!! Some addons can also make a difference, and help me forgetting about what I don't like about it. Same applies to the other two...

    Thanks to Black Square and Just Flight a new generation of true quality GA airplanes has arrived! Finally REAL flying and REAL owning-a-plane feeling with endless system depth is possible. Finally system failures that really happen when mistreating the plane or redlining the engine or by just using a plane for a long time (which means we get a plane that is really alive and reacting to the pilot). Planes now have quirks and unique characteristics and are stubborn to start up and save personalized cockpit features hobbsmeter hours and much more. Finally the sim is getting SUPERB GA-planes. No more dull and boring GA flights with incredible dull and boring default GA planes with absolutely no features and realism whatsoever and where nothing ever happens and every flight being completely the same as the previous one and the next one. Now we get flooded engines, tyres loosing pressure, spark plug fouling, planes that get dirty over time (+120 more failures for example in the also oncoming Duke, I am too lazy to list them up now 😄 ). Super awesome are the very unique and complete new radio panels, and of course the no GPS-screen-panel-options for the ultimate navigation challenge. So fresh and exciting seeing all these new awesome radio stacks instead of re-using and re-cycling the same Flight Simulator 2004 default Cessna 172 default radio stack + default GNS 530 again and again for eternity like we had in the previous decades in all GA planes. It feels so fresh and exciting not seeing the same FSX default instruments with no system depth no quirks and no interesting realistic behaviour again and again and again in all planes forever. The Tomahawk will get so many new and awesome and feature-rich and never before seen radio panels - I love it! And have you seen how much you can play around on these radio panels in the video? Just like the real panel in the real plane, no longer are all features in the cockpit instrumentation that are not purely strictly for going from A to B left out and cut away and "NOT SIMULATED" but everything is now simulated, all the details and quirks and just awesome stuff to play around. Just like in the real airplane with fine tuning various settings and sub-menus of all systems and navigation panels possible. Just Flight (and of course also Black Square, but I think they are just two product brands of the same company and therefore share the same new quality standard) are truly the saviours of GA-flying. For the first time since 1995 ... hm I don´t know how long flight simulators exist maybe even longer, they have managed to make GA simulator flying truly realistic, interesting fascinating, and of course dangerous and thrilling because of all the deep realistic features possible failures, and greatest cockpit realism ever. This new Tomahawk masterpiece will truly sweeeeeten the wait for the also soon released Duke series 🙂 Surely the Tomahawk will be a pure feast for every true aviator.

    To be truthful, I'm finding comments like this hard to understand, when, 'over the fence', you called MSFS the 'GTA Flight Sim' just 2 days ago.
  26. JetCat
    Is the new Tomahawk also from Black Square, or made with the help of Black Square? 🙂 Awesome that means even MORE quality!
  27. thepilot
    Yes, and I didn't say that. But the more aircraft they develop concurrently, the less resources can be spent on each individual one. And that can't be good for quality, can it? Right now, iniBuilds are developing the A220, A320, BelugaXL (A330), A350, A380 and A400M. Plus supporting the A300/A310. That seems like way too much to take on, even for a big team.
  28. Daube
    So this means it's not the A400M from Roland Laborie that was shown in the MSFS2024... I'm glad for Inibuild having success, but I wish other devs such as Roland would get a slice of the cake as well... His A400M, after the recent updates, is quite nice already in MSFS.
