Kilo60

Can you still start the Engines with the fuel pumps off?

FACT: Actual moving trim wheel animation wasn't included because the Xbox can't handle the extra animation load... This isn't going to be fixed in an upcoming patch!

Cause Xbox gamers don't care about realistic startups! It's obvious now where Aerosoft prioritized this AC and it wasn't for PC apparently!

Unbelievable! Glad I stayed away from this one! And I really wanted it! The trim wheels moved just fine in their P3D version!

Aboso really need to get off their butts and get Seasons fully integrated into the game as promised as a priority for them! We have 3rd party individuals releasing seasons so there's no excuse for them to get this done at this point in my opinion!

So, if I want to fly the 700 and 800 series, I have to buy the plane twice now for full price instead of just an upgrade? Man that stinks!

They should have just kept the NGX a PC only release and they wouldn't be in this spot right now! Fenix is having no such issues!

Has anyone heard yet whether the seasons issue in Florida had been addressed yet? That's the only thing holding me back at this point!

Well, maybe Randazzo has to further elaborate on what he meant by communication... I'm sure he was specifically referring to the one issue with specific ABOSO developers, getting back to him, regarding the SDK, holding up their development of the NGX?

I wish you were right but I think your wrong... Firstly, you disproved your own argument by saying: And I agree but where does Microsoft directly benefit from this over PMDG? And Microsoft is behind ABOSO's current priority list and paying their bills. It's all about the gamepass subscriptions from Microsoft not us Hardcore PC simmers, who will buy the game no matter what, and already have made the one time purchase of it... Microsoft has said many times that gamepass is the future for them and I don't see how hardcore simmers and study level add-on developers' factor into this business strategy. Just doing the math: Several years of gamepass subscriptions for a single user adds up to a lot more than one sale of this game on PC...!

Isn't it 100+ days, according to Randazzo on the lack of follow up communication from ABOSO? If so, you can't realistically claim Christmas and SU8 suddenly got in the way? If ABOSO had any interest at all in helping to get this add-on off the ground and It's the one last issue holding it up, I can't see why they would stall for this long! Maybe PMDG made the fatal mistake of trying to release this for the MS Store and Xbox compatibility when FENIX just went for the hardcore simmers on PC only?

No, they don't! Aboso could care less about study-level complete airliners for their Xbox game pass crowd! To drive new Sales on Xbox is their priority now and you can see it for yourself in the recent updates and releases! Aboso are a lot more interested in releasing simple to fly fighter jets (flown from external view with a gamepad) and multiplayer online air races than they ever will be to cater to a third-party dev, making a study level complex airliner, that most people on Xbox wouldn't even consider buying!

Not when Aboso is prioritizing the Xbox system for this game and gearing it toward the casual console market! A Study level 3rd party add-on AC, that costs more than the casual gamer will spend (while playing this on Game Pass) is obviously not something Aboso care about spending time and resources on and I think Randazzo's frustration basically called them out on it!

Well, that's good news!

If that's the case, there's no way they are going to get decent FPS on Xbox and will have to seriously gimp systems or graphics to get decent FPS... Hopefully there's two versions at release. The FPS in P3D take a huge hit in P3D on my NGX...

Looks amazing but... Will I need a SUPERCOMPUTER like yours to run it and get decent FPS...?

Well, I think you just convinced me to go with Fenix over PMDG at this point... I'm very leery of any high-fidelity, study level add-on AC, developed to run on the Xbox platform and wedged into the SDK for same...

If it won't work with Xbox you can pretty much forget about Aboso ever putting it on the priority list, unfortunately, from what I've seen so far from them and being an active TIR user over my VR headset! The 6 DOF is a must have!

I got exactly .023 more FPS with this driver!!!

I wish Flight One would get off their butts and do the Cessna Citation Mustang for MSFS... That was my daily driver in P3d, when I wasn't flying the Twotter or Tubes!

This brings up an interesting point regarding all the add-ons currently made for DX11... I wonder how many 3rd Party add-ons made for DX11 could be causing CTD's in DX12?

Ditto!

Being in South Florida myself this is a Major issue for me and reason number one why I'm holding off on buying for now... Hopefully, this can be addressed at some point!

Yeah, but I hope it's not because it's just a port of their old P3D Twotter with updated textures!

It seems the AI Ac at Ap's effect my FPS more than anything!
