Guessing you have co pilot assistance turned on

Lawyers for airlines don’t care enough to chase down a million broke az modders, it would be time consuming and pointless. If Microsoft starts doing it, those same lawyers will salivate and will fall all over themselves filing the lawsuits, because Microsoft has tons of money to sue for, and they already know how to find them. Different reality. Modders can just do it, Microsoft has to step carefully.

I’m a musician, and play a few instruments, have played in bands through the years, etc.. There are no genres of music I dislike, even some of the forms of music that do not especially speak to me I can appreciate the artistry. My “home” though is blues, rock and metal. None of this is especially prevalent in the music landscape of today, as hip hop and electronic forms tend to dominate the charts, but the fact that there are few barriers to getting your music out there today, mean there is some great stuff out there if you spend the time looking for it. I grew up with Iron Maiden and Pink Floyd as my favorites. Last fall I went and saw a concert by these girls with my daughter. they speak very little English, but they speak rock and roll just fine. Lol. If you told me 30 years ago that one day my favorite new group was going to be five tiny Japanese women playing slamming hard rock tracks, I’d have laughed at you. But such is life.

The new alpha xpc has a spring loaded starter switch, the old one doesn’t.

Nah, you can use that if you want. Not my style, If I don’t like your opinion, I’ll say so. As I did. If you have an issue with people disagreeing with your stance, I’d suggest not expressing it in public. This isn’t to say you don’t have the right to post whatever, wherever. but to expect that you aren’t to be questioned? of course doubling down on the bs doesn’t make me inclined to just go away, let alone the couple of personal digs.

well, gee thanks. I am capable of having a nice day without your "well wishes" thanks, and am having one currently. But I asked a question, and I got an answer. you feel they should be ridiculed for not being as nice looking as some would like. It's fair enough, and certainly if it's not your thing don't buy it. I think most can evaluate what they see and make their own decisions, and I'm sure the shame of a few forum sim snobs won't outweigh the sales data at the end of the day. so as far as Aeroplane Heaven and Asobo are concerned it's likely a non issue. It does make discussing anything here amazingly tedious though. Aeroplane Heaven, Aerosoft, Carenado, whoever get pulled through the ringer every time. mostly without explanation of their "sins" (which is usually just not making the product they want) other devs are allowed to do whatever...

I have a couple, and mine are hanger queens because I'm not overly jazzed for old aircraft other than the DC3, but the DC3 is perfectly serviceable for its price and intended level of fidelity, I guess I'm just not as picky, but the texturing sure isn't outrageously hateful from my point of view, to the level that would inspire this sort of dev shaming.

this

so, from this can we assume that you might otherwise be interested in purchasing a default level airplane for ten bucks, but not if it's Aeroplane Heaven? Did they kick your dog or something? Tell me what I'm missing, why are they deserving of this disdain from you and others on this thread?

I don’t have a “never preorder” rule. I’ve funded quite a few tabletop rpg game kickstarters, bought plenty of early access titles, and backed Star Citizen. I do have an “80 bucks is a lot of money to pay in advance, when I can spend that money on something I can use now” thought. on the other hand, I want this md11 to be made. Tfdi have shown themselves to make good on products in the past, and the 717 was pretty cool. These aren’t massive corporations here. Small companies in this field, especially ones that have to rely on sales of products that take years to develop both before and after they get their small payment have to do something. Probably from the sounds of it, the usual snobbery of tfdi not being one of the holy anointed avsim devs means a bunch of you would be perfectly fine with tfdi going the way Quality Wings apparently has, but I’m not.

This was already a sticky...

Yep, just looked into it. Must’ve happened during one of my blackouts.

Weather radar is not available to avionics that were coded using WASM. it’s always been available to avionics coded using xml/js/whatever it is that the default gauges are coded in. Edit: was added. I wuz wrong, see below

I wouldn't be happy either if I had to rely on one of us to get them safely to their destination.
