Does anyone have a link to the WU announcement?
Amon1973 replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
This is just not true, I play FPS games, in fact there was a period in my life where I played shooters a lot more than simulations, these days though I use MSFS for about 95% of my gaming/simulation time. So 100% people can transition over to flight simming. -
If were going down this route, well Xplane 12 will be sort of subscription based, because to get the live real time weather, it needs an always on internet connection, and then there's all the updates, in this regard MSFS and XP12 have a lot of similarities.

I think you've hit the nail on the head here. No small to even medium flight sim dev company could afford afford all the resources that mega corporations like MS and a select few others can, mainly because they are so big that they already own the individual specialist sub companies, so things are available at very little cost, or that your company is so wealthy that you can easily afford them. LR basically have to operate with their own means.

June 2nd, 2022 - Development Update
Amon1973 replied to ChaoticBeauty's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
It's fine if MS taking their time as long they do actually get things right first time, we all know that just because they have gave themselves a few month between Sim Updates that bugs can still sneak through, they're just less likely. -
Hjet now live in Marketplace
Amon1973 replied to fppilot's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I'd bought and installed it within about two minute but I have things to do before I fly her, also bought Fsreborn's sting S4 at the same time, so I have plenty of aircraft to enjoy tonight. -
The problem with those that feel threatened by MSFS is that they can't bring themselve to give MSFS any credit. Those who are able to see that all the major Sims have their respective strong points enjoy all 3 of the major Sims without going on various forums and pulling apart various aspects of the competition.

Fenix A320: The End of a Beta
Amon1973 replied to bendead's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I totally agree, as for the past seven days, I've been away as my family have been away as my son was given a footplate experience as a present for getting a first in his Computer Science degree, then I've been at work for five days working 12 hour shifts, so today is my first day off, then I'm back at work doing nights until Thursday morning. Hell Although I bought the 737 last Monday I haven't had time to install it yet. @Aamir if you release the Fenix later Today I promise I'll fly the Fenix A320 before the 737. -
That MSFS has some issues, not many people would disagree with that, but it's definitely generally improving. obviously it's had it's ups and downs. But at this point in time it's the sim I always use (I have them all) IMO MSFS is not far off from being an exceptional flight simulator. But with all the staff that Asobo are hiring, be it from SDK specialists to graphic designers most of it's issues will be a thing of the past relatively soon.

Fenix A320: The End of a Beta
Amon1973 replied to bendead's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I'm hoping my decision to upgrade to upgrade my 3800x to the 5800x3d pays off, so I'm quitly confident that I'll be ok FPS wise. -
Fenix A320: The End of a Beta
Amon1973 replied to bendead's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I think it will be streamed today, didn't Fenix say they would do some promotional videos/streams before release? -
Fenix A320: The End of a Beta
Amon1973 replied to bendead's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
What fantastic news to get up to regarding the imminent release of the Fenix A320 @ only £49.99, as I'm going in early at work (RR) @ 6am for my last day of overtime, I've put the hours in at work and I feel justified in spending so much money on all these study level aircraft lately, all rather good timing -
PMDG 737 RELEASE NEXT WEEK!!
Amon1973 replied to rfelger's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
It's a good job I'm stuck in an hotel room unable to install the 737 until tomorrow when I return home, and then I'm at work non stop until Thursday morning. I'd be so frustrated if I was sitting at my PC right now continuely pressing F5 like the rest of you.
