They are the ones coming to us with requirements- often time is one of them, usually the first one they bring up 😅. Of course a certain amount of negotiation and scope modification is often required to settle on something realistic that all parties can agree to. I'm not trying to make all software development seem equivalent in scope or organization- larger companies and corporations have vastly more resources and often more experience with estimation, project management, and execution. I just want to make a point that you can and often do follow 'due dates' in software development. Some in the sim community that look only at development here may get the wrong idea. The biggest enemy of release dates that I've seen from the outside as a simmer is scope creep. Countless times you see a dev has decided to add a bunch of new features that were never originally planned for. Go figure- if you decide to do 3x as much work as originally planned, it takes at least that much longer to get your product to market. A handful of devs are doing a pretty good job of handling this and seem to follow a 'Minimum Viable Product' goal with numerous iterations following release. Lately, Flysimware is doing a fantastic job with this with the Learjet 35A. FSS seems to be attempting to do this with their E-Jets but I think the difficult bits of their project are giving them more trouble than they anticipated. 'Early Access' or 'Minimum Viable Product' is often a controversial concept within the sim community but it is a very regular thing in my career and usually makes more people happier sooner as long as the developers hold up their end of the bargain.

LOL I should tell my boss and PM that... well, after I update my resume. Guess 'software development' is different for everyone. These small standalone third party devs may not have timetables, but many, many software devs are held to them. It's part of how we get projects done on time.

Oof that music ain't it. Nice to see some higher quality offerings in the lite military aircraft segment- almost certainly going to be better than the random garbage available on the marketplace.

Yeah someone paid for reviews on their freeware download. I’m sure that’s exactly what happened. 😑

Looks like there’s some disagreements about this in today’s episode of Flightsim Drama(tm). 🥳

The materials and textures in the cockpit are really off-putting to me... 😥 Maybe the video just looks goofy?

That's nice... now onto the stuff that matters, like the 777.

I put it in the folder where the exe is like you said- I wasn't being sarcastic, thank you, if that is indeed where it is supposed to go.

ok thanks, that's a lot more helpful 🙂

As edited above, I do not have the default installation path.

The instructions there don't help. Where do I put these files? I have MSFS installed here: M:\Microsoft Flight Simulator And in that folder there's 'Community' and 'Official'. If I'm not supposed to put it in there I have no idea where.

Does this go in the 'Official' folder or in the directory with Community and Official?

I think you have a speed problem... 😆

Awesome! The 145 got me into helicopters in MSFS, will definitely add this to the fleet at release.

‘Yes’ is the only reasonable response.

HDR causes way too many weird issues on my system and with my particular monitor to enjoy it, so I keep it off. They keep releasing updated firmware for my monitor that’s slowly improving the situation though, so maybe someday I’ll be able to enjoy HDR.

Basically none of the updates in content manager are working for me... I guess I didn't want to fly anyways. 🥱

This is the way.

Installing now... fingers crossed! EDIT: Worked great for me. Looks great flying along the Lake Superior shoreline. Trees just beginning to yellow.

Aw was hoping this would be a nice birthday present, oh well. 😵

Always have it on, never have frame skips or any adverse effects from it either. Looks amazing at 4K/120.

I wonder if this is really true. Is there anything at all that would actually bring in 'hardcore gamers' and make them 'hardcore simmers'? I'm not convinced, not in any meaningful numbers anyways. We have a niche hobby. It's not a bad thing, but it is the truth. I don't think anything will ever change that either. People are either interested in the tiny intersection of aviation and computers, or they aren't. After the release of MSFS, it took all of two days before the mainstream hype died down and streamers went back to playing their regular games for the masses. I don't think "career mode" is going to change that. I am sure there are quite a few copies of the sim sold on XBOX but I'd really like to see the comparison of average hours flown and addon dollars spent by xbox users and pc users.

Ooh if they made the Honeywell Epic for the A300 maybe they could sneak it into a large cabin biz jet someday... 😈
