What was the intention? Learning flight simulation or watch the scenery? :wink: Here's another experience: http://steamcommunity.com/app/441920/discussions/0/364042703854280821/

Great post, Tony ! :smile: Hi Martin. Where are you? Listen to Tony !

Exactly !! From STEAM forum: "heyy everyone i just wanted to make this thread to share my view and experience with flight school so far as an absolute beginner to flight sims, i do own fsx and xplane and i did try xplane once but it was too complicated and i couldnt even take off so i gave up lol this is the reason i bought flight school as a last attempt to get into flight sims." ........continues on STEAM forum: http://steamcommunity.com/app/441920/discussions/0/364042703854280821/

Trust or not trust - here is what Martin said earlier, quote: "Flight simulation would be nothing without all the hard work of third party developers, be them big companies or bedroom coders. There are people who are obviously creating content as a living or run companies around add-on production, Orbox A2A and so forth. Then there are people who are creating liveries or making things as an expansion of their flight sim experience. Most of which gets released as freeware or community content. Over the past 2 years, we have made our intentions clear with respect to welcoming and working with developers, both big and small, on FSX: SE. We fully intend to continue those relationships and looking forward will be welcoming both existing and new developers to the Dovetail Games Flight Simulator platform. We will provide developers with all the tools, documentation and support they need to create great new content for this new platform and will be working closely with them during that process. For us, releasing DTG Flight Simulator is just the beginning. All of the really hard works comes afterwards once you and developers get your hands on it. - Martin" I hope of course that this is true. Why should it not? :smile:

Then DTG Flight Simulator is not for you. Martin has previously given his advice, quote: "If you want to play with your existing collection then play FSX: SE or your flight sim of choice. DTG Flight Simulator is all about the next generation of simulation and add-ons. It is not focused on what currently is, it is focused on what comes next. We are not interested in supporting the current generation of flight simulation add-ons and services with the next sim. We are interested in seeing what people can do with a next generation flight sim. We want to see what can be, rather than just repeating the cycle of what is. DTG Flight School and DTG Flight Sim use the same core game engine as FSX. We have heavily modified and updated that game engine to make these titles. Just like FSX and P3D, DTG Flight Simulator will act as a core for people to expand upon as they wish. Like any core sim there will be a world with a set of rules which sets out how the game is played and how things interact in that world. For example, weather, physics, the ATC and so forth. The platform will be open to third party developers, and they are free to use the technology and produce whatever add-on content they wish. Again, just like FSX and other flight simulators. - Martin" I'm guessing that DTG FS is the next big platform for flight simulators. :smile:

In think Martin has been quite clear:

Edit: Already answered. :wink:

I think you've lost the point. Martin said that you are wrong when you think that new inexperienced customers buy FSX:SE. Why?

Fully agree! And that is precisely what Martin said: Yessssss - hopefully release before my death. :smile:

Earlier Martin said: "It seems crazy to us that you have to use a third party add-on to do the things that FSUIPC does. Why isn't that stuff just build into the sim to start with is the question we asked ourselves. What is even more crazy is that FSUIPC is built and maintained by just one hard working guy, Pete Dowson. Imagine if something happened to Pete? Where would the flight sim community be then? To this end we have partnered with a range of hardware manufacturers such as Saitek and GoFlight Inc. and we are working with them to make sure that all the required features for running hardware are included in DTG Flight Simulator as standard. The end result is that pluggins like FSUIPC will no longer be needed." "There will be a hardware standard that developers can plug into and use. Our goal is to simplify the process so that people don't need to go around hunting for plugins and alike. We are building these tools here in the studio, so I guess they will be up to our standard. We are simply consulting with hardware developers to find out what their needs and requirements are. - Martin" http://steamcommunity.com/app/441920/discussions/0/368542585861880608/#c364040166671718378​

TrackIR for Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition = OK https://www.naturalpoint.com/trackir/games/

As opposed to P3D - where entertainment is banned. :wink:

As a side note to simulator engines........ Last year John Venema (Orbx) had some comments about alternative simulator engines. Among other things, he wrote, quote: I understand that Orbx will defend the FSX / P3D engine - that's where they put all their eggs. Any comments you have would be appreciated, dtmicro.

Bye bye, PropheadX.

Where?

Yes, Stephen. You have affirmed this clearly several times from your first post. Ignore suspicion and further questions about your person. I applaud your initiative. dtmicro appears to be an experienced and positive resource person. Such knowledgeable key personnel will be crucial for further progress.

Well said, tony.
