When MS talked about community Add-On Market in their first Q&A, they mentioned Aircrafts, Airports and maybe highly enhanced regional sceneries, and that’s it. They never intended to open Weather, ATC or Traffic to the SDK as they always communicated this as core of the platform. And I liked the approach to enhance these feature over time and not having to deal with trillions of mods that can address such functionalities only have baken. The limitations of the Traffic SDK are endless and the community will never be satisfied. Another example is something like FSRealistic. It just should not be required. I expect the modern simulation to come with a realistic camera system for head movements in all kind of situation.

If only Microsoft would release a Global Airport Immersion DLC with ATC/AI/Ground/Tower Innovations next Thursday…

Please provide a link to the SDK section for injection of live terrain tiles streaming. Supporting mods or add-ons does not mean you are allowed to change / replace whatever you want or whatever is technically possible.

I work in software industry and I am proud of the products we develop. I doubt this is only about revenue stream for anybody who is really involved with MSFS. But I do not doubt that some customers do not care a bit.

The MSFS team works closely with the Bing team, it’s one company and most likely all are proud of their accomplishment. And now someone rips it out of the game and replaces it with its competitor. How can this be accepted more than a day??? The community still considers MSFS as a sandbox we had with FSX. But it is not. Ok, maybe the community can convert MSFS to PS5, I am sure Microsoft does not care…

We all know that Google has better Satellite Data than Bing. I am really wondering how long Microsoft allows this external injection of texture data. I mean this is really ‚core‘ element of their whole value proposition, with Azure, Bing and the like. It will produce incompatibilities and they can also expect complains from users. ‚Why are your textures so ugly’ We can read this even here…

Not sure how often it needs to be repeated until it is understood by the ‚but we had it in FSX‘ folks. Next to the performance issues, MS cannot include airline liveries or more models into the Sim as they stated they need agreements with each any every airline or manufacturers they want to include. They have something with KLM that‘s all we know. Microsoft is not going to spend their money and time with lawyers. maybe they did not care what was done with FSX but now they do. Jörg mentioned numerous times he talks with the companies but it takes time. I assume when they have a substantial package ready they will add this as a free/paid dlc. sorry but it is a shame to read again this ‚type of peoples‘ ‚arrogance’ or ‚not invented here’ comments. What a word not allowed.

It must be very painful to log so many hours on a sim of a Publisher and Development Team you do not trust, respect or like. I am really sorry for you.

I have read the same from you now more than 100 times. I understand you arguments. please let others enjoy the Sim and leave it for good now, Thank you.

Again, you have no clue if there are areas they need to tighten up and nothing is obvious.

if you are so familiar with development you know that developers ask for defects or requirements from their product management team. And definitely not some comments by uninformed customers to fix the code base, just ridiculous…

No Sim ever even tried to accomplish that. Then we were always playing games since 40 years… To be fair, World Traffic for xplane went into that direction, managed spacing for approaches. But of course it had so many shortcomings as an add-on without any support from LR.

I am sure MS is fully aware the AI traffic lacks. My guess is that they will improve this in-house and NOT via community with a Big Bang next year or in 2023. Jörg mentioned numerous times that they look into that, speak with Airlines and have already many optimized simplified Models on stock. most likely it will be a separate DLC. We will see…

Yes, you are right. I am sorry for all the trouble. I had the same issues twice after SU04 Beta AND SU04. I even had to reinstall Windows 10 from scratch. A lot of patience and understanding is needed. But hey, that seem to be part our hobby…

Hi, did you manually modify UserConf.opt File? This contains the package installation path. If you messed it, the installation may have prompted to a incorrect path during ingame update (checking for updates)…

Wow, now we have personal rant threads. Nothing new, nothing to clarify, nothing to discuss.

I think I was around 10 when I got a copy of MSFS from a friend back in the early 80ties for my C64. Next to the disk I even copied the manual, never done that before in my life. But the investment in this manual was well justified This was not a game, it was a Simulator! It took literally years to tune a VOR. And when I first managed to hear the VHF signal and follow the needle I knew was a true pilot…

I have a medicore i5, gtx 970 and run MSFS on my old Asus VN 279 1080p with high Settings synced to 30 FPS. It runs fluidly I cannot complain, no need to upgrade at the moment. But if I had a high end equipment , I‘d change all settings, simple as that.

Maybe I can buy UK clouds somewhere…

And taburet is well known since many many years for payware packages of all kind - 300 products in simmarket, that says it all. https://secure.simmarket.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Taburet I really hoped that this kind of market was yesterday…

Jörg mentioned, that they currently focus on World Updates. But he said this could change. He still had no clear picture but definitely wanted to get the world ‚aka digital twin‘ more vibrant. They have a strike team evaluating this. it could be marina, traffic, trains, animals, vegetation, who knows… And as soon as helicopters join the party they have plenty to work on in that area…

pretty steep price tag for some roads… I can only hope that this kind of mods use published APIs. if not, there will be again huge complains as soon as Asobo changes it’s format in an upcoming update.

This is not an anonymous ranting about some tech giant, the Q&A is done by Jorg Neumann, Sebastian Wloch and Martial Bossard. The official forum is a total mess now, with people having their own agenda ranting about everything. I could fully understand them shutting down the forum for the public, skipping Feedback, Bug Reports, Wish lists and Q&A Sessions all together. FSX was fantastic, no development, no fixes, no new content, no communication. This is what this community deserves!

Maybe some commenters should be fired for incompetence here?(!)

I could not imagine a better PG target than Bielefeld 😉 For all German simmers, check out EDFM, Mannheim. Fantastic PG since last August…
