I think incomplete games/sims at release are to be expected. The price of a game/sim has hardly changed in 20 years. We were paying £50 for Nintendo64 games back then. Prices have hardly moved but complexity and cost have risen substantially. Yes I know there are higher priced variants of msfs but the core main sim, which most buy, is still not much higher than we paid 20 years ago for FSX. I guess they have a choice. Bump up prices substantially or fix forward after release.

They never promised anything. They just said what their plans were, which are subject to change as are all our plans. People want more openness from msobo but that will involve hearing more "we currently are planning this" that could change. Its not like they signed a contract with you to do A B C.

Late August or September is most likely in my view.

They lost me at 30 bucks a month.... but I can see why it appeals to some. I think in a few years time something like this will be freeware given the rapid increase in AI.

Looks great and doesn't take up much room. I really like that top panel.

I agree with the OP in that there are way too many A320s.

Not sure why the excitment. Those with the premium MSFS package already have a quite decent 787. Those on standard MSFS (who don't have a 787 and want one) can't use this one. ;)

I think the reason the EFB is not as feature rich as some hoped is because of the time they wasted doing the communication workaround to the outside world. That was made redundant with SP13. I am a developer and I can only imagine the complexity, planning, development and testing required because they were only able to send numbers to a https address and needed to have that translated into EFB actions and commands and then sent back. In the end that large piece of work was a waste of time.

I wrote that 3 years ago. Not something I would write today. We live and learn. 😀

You need to download the latest version (1.6.3?). The flight data api changed last week so unless you update you won't get any airborne traffic.

Usually I notice the runway is too short when I am approaching the end of the runway on take off roll lol...

I don't think that's the case. Managing a large project like this with so many releases and the thousands of requests - each very important to the requester - would be almost impossible to keep track of. Their user requested features must run into the thousands.

I can't believe there are 500+ people working on the new version. Astonishing.

No I think it just means schools out for summer I.e. lots of holidays, downtime, people spending more time outdoors etc. I am sure they will pick up again in Autumn.

Looks great!
