I don't care what they call it, as long as it delivers.

If I only had a "Magical Software Blender" where I could put one part each of all the flight sims, then I would have what I want, lol... I thought maybe FSW would become the answer, but it didn't work out as expected. Come to think of it, this happens a lot in all aspects of life. Therfore, it is what it is. Good luck to the DTG FSW team in whatever they do.

It's happened to me before. Its been reported and I thought they fixed it. Hasn't happened to me in a while...End the flight and restart it and they should appear...At least it worked for me...

No, because that computer has Adobe Photoshop, and he uses that program to get his screenshots to look good so he can post them on Reddit r/flightsim...

You've got a point. I tried to get my 8 year old Grandson to try FSW but he insists on P3D...

X Planes first line of code was written 29 years ago...September 1988... https://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-space/article/2003-07/austin-goliath

I think we just need patience. Look at all the time the other simulators took. Granted, they bought the base, but they are a small team. Let's give them time. Haters will hate and they always will..... This was an awesome update. They took away my GPS in the Cherokee so I have to fly old school, kudos. No more magenta line, I was getting lazy, lol...

Dynamic weather changes over time but not "live"....

Dynamic weather February 1st, live weather later. Cub with floats and tundra tyres today. IFR, jet and atc later...

For those that aren't on it, why don't you you join the FSW Break discord server. https://discord.gg/2nWM57R Devs are there, though we don't bombard them with questions...they have work to do. The DTG Forums are for bugs and reports. The Discord server offers a way to interact with them in a community way within our guidelines...

The bar that DTG has set for default GA aircraft in Flight Sim World, albiet some minor issues, is set pretty high.. When they release the new biz jet they are talking about, I'm just curious how it will be. Can't wait to see it...

It seems the AI slinder has the most impact for me and have heard this from others as well. They are adding a biz jet, developed in-house, to the core sim...

Thanks for the input Kevin. By the way, the 701 is looking great. I am looking forward to this one. It's on my "to buy list" for sure...

They are looking at other options for software such as Blender...

In that situation I think I would give it a shot, lol...

I think once the SDK rolls out and DTG keeps getting feedback and responding to us like they do, you will see that. I imagine that part of the strategy has to be to bring in new simmers to the genre. I have accepted the fact that things are different now from when I started simming. I'm into the whole Steam thing, World of Tanks, Warthunder and such. They have captured my imagination. Hopefully DTG can bring a mix of the new way and the old way. I would hate to see Flight Simming die out. I can't get my Grandson to use X Plane 11 because he sees no point in it. My son won't fly X plane because he says he doesn't care to fly, just shoot down stuff like in Warthunder. Get the right balance and you may see a new generation of simmers, otherwise it will be only persons that want to learn how to fly. Just my 2 cents or 1/4 pound...

Many games on Steam had a hot fix the last couple of days due to the Windows Update. Most were very small. I had like 15....

Thanks DTG Team for the update. I know personally that they listen to us, even though it's not always communicated to the general public, thanks to Cryss' almost daily appearance on our Discord server...

You mean something like this Theo?

The Third Party Team probably couldn't code thier way out of a paper bag...I myself test product in a lab for customers, but I can't make the stuff.

I haven't heard that they aren't going to expand the map database in game. X Plane 11 only gives you a sector of the map to look at when sitting at an airport. I would wait and see. This is just the new thing with DLC. It also appears in Aerofly, which is still in early access, but soon to come out of it. DTG has been really good at listening to the community...

Nice work Gib, an aircraft I would enjoy to fly. It is on my "to buy list"....

Look at the yellow painted line next to the airplane on the runway. That is crazy. I hope my computer can handle this and the sim gets optimized...And the lighting reflecting the cracks. Never seen anything like this before in a flight sim. Just imagine what rain could look like on that...This could take things up a notch...
