    The item you're referring to is this one in the changelog and is in the beta:

    We were not involved in any other AI traffic changes so I can't really comment.

    Yes thanks Matt sorry just reread the patch notes and as you say it was under Planes General, I was expecting to see it under Navigation/Traffic section 😁 All good now 😁

    I found with the pitch and roll especially knocking down my sensitivity to - 30 a world of difference. Like you Rob it was almost impossible to control and lots of issues with handling GA aircraft. When i changed the sensitivity it is now as I would expect amd handles great. UI needs a bit of work.

    He's aggravating the stall to get a spin by kicking the rudder. You aren't getting a Cessna to spin otherwise. I'm doing my CFI in an old 172 right now. I can hardly get it to break at all with a power on stall. It will just start to sink.

    Regardless, they defintitely changed something. In 1.6.13 the C152 would not stall with full power.

    Hey Bonchie thanks for your comments during this exciting time, just wondering the latest build at present is 1.7.12 is that the version you have or something else?

    I hope the community is pumped, as ASOBO and Microsoft read this daily and as we get ready for launch i wanted to mention a few things. 

    1) Sydney Harbour Bridge and The Great Wall of China is missing from what we can tell so far from the preview build, two iconic landmarks are missing out of the box from the sim. With all the tech and satellite data i thought this might be included. 

    2) ATC this has improved in the preview build from what i can tell, in an early video the SIDS and STARS were read out letter by letter so SUGRO was read out letter by letter which was painful and now its improved and wr can hear complete words being mentioned so SUGRO for example is said as is no more painful letter by letter, good job guys. Please keep improving ATC and hope you have fixed the legacy bug of vectoring an aircraft in and it going closer then further away. Still some improvement to be done but good initial stuff.

    Valid point, Alabeo, Carenado et al might be tempted to do so in the short run. There will be a backlash though. 

    I myself will only purchse study level-aircraft, and these will hardly be using the legacy flight model.

    Yes and rightly so as we have a new model and everyone should be using this new model especially with the air mass simulation as well, looking forward to what PMDG et al come up with

    No thank you, why would you want to use FSX planes in a brand new physics engine with improved flight dynamics. I wish in a way ASOBO would delete this option as if you want backwards compatible platform then go buy Prepar3d they pride themselves on being backwards compatible and look how different that platform is, the physics are not great.

    Hi Guys,

     

    I hope not that would be not great, I personally don't want the FSX flight model included as an option, Developers can get lazy and just give us a new plane for example but charge us the same and have a lousy flight model "on rails" No thank you! If this is next generation then make everyone use (including developers) the new flight model. ASOBO have put a lot of work into it so we should use it. Please ASOBO consider NOT including the FSX flight model, people including Third Parties only hacked it to make something half decent anyway. I mean its like over 13 years old time to move on. Prepar3d is hampered in my opinion by being backwards compatible and does not have the tech of MSFS.

     

    Aerosoft thankfully have confirmed they will be using all of the new features (no porting) of the new sim so I hope that others follow suit!

     

    Kind regards

    Remember those things called “service packs” for large feature updates and bug fixes? Didn’t FSX have a big update after about a year (so long ago I can’t remember)? Personally I’m fine with “It’s good enough, let’s get into people’s hands and we can dot the i’s and cross the t’s a little later”.

    Yes but when you are paying a lot of money, surely big bugs should be ironed out before release, some people are still seeing issues with bridges in the videos which we know is hard to do. Service packs are fine to add content and fix bugs but hope that this is not another Prepar3d V5 (released way too early) scenario!

    Hi Microsoft/Asobo, 

    I hope you get to read this or indeed things get passed on. So on the insider with the latest development roadmap it outlines in July more Partnership Releases in addition to the ones we have, also it mentions Mid July a preview into August/September?? It mentions September yet you are releasing it mid August? The timelines have slipped a little although nothing drastic so was just wondering is this really retail ready??? I think the Closed Beta had really confused a few people in terms of testing etc.. And feel maybe it is now being rushed out the door. Are there features missing?? 

    Kind regards
