SimConnect request user ac position fails
pmb replied to pmb's topic in PSXseeconTraffic for FSX | P3D | MSFS
Thank you for replying. Next time it worked indeed. Of course I made a Google search before posting, but nothing usable came up for this strange message. Btw, I'm just about to renew my RT license. Kind regards, Michael -
Supposedly they managed to collect all the former 1st tier ORBX developers. Kind regards, Michael

As far as I know, Asobo is in no way involved in this. Servers are provided exclusively by MS. Asobo develops the core engine and some add-ons only. I may be corrected, if wrong. Kind regards, Michael

Can confirm, exactly the same. It's Eastern Europe and DC-3. I didn't care right now and just went flying. But I agree, a company like MS should be able to cope with such traffic. Kind regards, Michael

What Are You Hoping To Hear In Tomorrow's Dev Livestream?
pmb replied to Krakin's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I just posed a polite question on this in the Official Forum https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/why-was-there-no-question-on-the-aerial-grounds-tiles-popping-bug-in-yesterdays-q-a/610494 We'll see if it will find any reaction. Kind regards, Michael -
What Are You Hoping To Hear In Tomorrow's Dev Livestream?
pmb replied to Krakin's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Yes, that World Hub was touched in several places. It's ready and there was some discussion about two guys reponsible for quality assurance even. However, it is on hold for review by Microsoft higher admins for security (or something like that) check. No date was given for final release. Kind regards, Michael -

What Are You Hoping To Hear In Tomorrow's Dev Livestream?

I think the questrion of terrain texture morphing was briefly posed by Jayne but I didn't get the answer (if there was one). Can anyone elucidate, as this has been with us now for a year now. Kind regards, Michael -
I can get motion sick after long flights (which I rarely do, mostly it's 1-1,5 h maximum) with a lot of turns, ups/downs, and there may be some more factors involved which I simply don't know. Low fps can lead to motion sickness, too, but at my present system I've locked fps to 30 using the OpenXR toolkit which it very rarely drops below. (We better don't start another discussion if 30 fps is "terribly jerky" here again.) Kind regards, Michael

This is very a good advice. When I got my first headset (an Acer one) lent from my son, he introduced me to a game with fast flying dragons to follow which he presented me proudly as a demo. I was motion-sick within a few minutes and never believed I would ever make friends with a headset in a flightsim. Kind regards, Michael

TechRaptor interview of Jorg Neumann re the future of MSFS
pmb replied to jrw4's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I did a lot of MSFS flying in Morocco, notably from the coast where there are a few nice addons (airports and cities) through the desert to Marrakesh (now hit by the earthquake). Deserts make a lot of difference between photo and landclasses, and I recall critique on ORBX LC Africa at that time. But Socotra is new to me. Sorry for going a bit off-topic Kind regards, Michael -
My main advice would be to find a way to test a VR goggles yourselv, either lending from a relative (that's what I did) or perhaps from a shop, if possible. Just 10 min in a shop will not do. I did the former and will not return to a 2D screen, but it's a personal thing and everyone's experience is different. Kind regards, Michael

TechRaptor interview of Jorg Neumann re the future of MSFS
pmb replied to jrw4's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I did this already. I bought a Maskat scenery time ago and investigated the desert and mountain region afterwards, albeit not with a chopper. Should do it again. It's an interesting desert/mountain region, no doubt. Kind regards, Michael -
TechRaptor interview of Jorg Neumann re the future of MSFS
pmb replied to jrw4's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Thank you Noel. I'm just back from a chopper flight over Dubai City. I'm a bit late with choppers until getting proper hardware now (plus the wonderful H145). I am really excited what I saw. I know pretty much any of the legacy / competing sims and have flown over Dubai, but I've never seen such a level of realism, by a big margin. No, it's not perfect - neither will FS2024 be - but it gives me enjoyment for my life. Yes, I've made critical remarks on missing/broken features in MSFS and I will go on to do so (preferred on the Official Forum with higher visibility). But global disrespect for the developers, continuous demand of missing features without knowing the economic / technical / enterprise priorities - which I confess I don't know - don't help a iota and only lead to continuous frustration - but will certainly fail to give us a better sim. Happy flying and kind regards, Michael -

Yes. I hope they are aware that a half-baked answer will not do in this case. Kind regards, Michael -
September 21, 2023 MSFS Development Update
pmb replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
See here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/where-is-the-section-to-post-our-questions-for-the-upcoming-q-a/609868 "They" (obviously the Community Managers) have chosen 10 questions from the forum and obviously already presented them to Jörg etc. I wouldn't jump on them for doing so, if the selection was properly done. There obviously are a number of topics (ground texture morphing, sunset colors etc) which everyone knows and where they hopefully will give detailed answeres. The ususal sidebar questions will be there, but these are rarely presented. Kind regards, Michael -

SamScene: USA Modern Cities Vol.1
pmb replied to HiFlyer's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
According to their Discord, it's already out on the Marketplace. Which I feel is a bad decision. I bought all (yes) SamScene3d Sceneries for MSFS (and even legacy sims) directly via their storefront to support them (even though distribution of upgrades was a bit awkward). I would be prepared to buy via ORBX Central in the future, but I will drop out as a customer if future releases will be Marketplace exclusively. Kind regards, Michael -

In any case, a very good move the interviewer pointed to the 24-hour-back weather period! Kind regards, Michael -

That's me too, but didn't they say they won't support VFR, at least not upon release? Does someone from the insiders know? Kind regards, Michael
