MagentaChild

Make sure your case is large enough to accomodate an entire professor as some tend to have somewhat larger bellies 😉

I have an idea for another addon: MagentaChild's Airport Picker: Picks an interesting airport for you from a selection of over 100 airports! Only 9,99!

MS and Asobo seem confident and self-critical enough to allow for different type of questions. I doubt they make any restrictions on what type of questions may be asked. The interviewer obviously is not a trained journalist and thus lacks the experience and self-confidence to ask more serious and possibly challenging questions.

I like the interview a lot because of what the two devs are talking about. For instance implementing a way to code in C++ for MSFS without resorting to C++ native (apparently thats what many FS devs were using) because of security concerns and interoperability issues. I did not know that prior to this interview. However, I did not like the interviewer: He is constantly reaffirming what the devs were telling anyway without being on the same knowledge level as they are. Instead of simply asking those questions which float around in the community anyway, he tries to get buddy-buddy with Jörg and Seb. For instance, I would have like to hear a question about the remarkably short beta period, the poor initial Steam reviews, etc. Apparently he is afraid of coming across as too negative, when, as an interviewer, you can just pass along questions. Your own opinions (positive/negative) shouldn't matter.

I hope the rock you have been living under for the past couple of years is cosy. Within the larger sim community "Zibo type" refers to a community modded default aircraft that comes close in certain aspects to study-level aircraft. But at no cost, therefore making complex aircraft available for a much larger range of simmers than 100$+ products.

For me, the quality of default handcrafted airports is perfect: Apart from the 2 or 3 airports that I do know really well and would buy addon scenery for, I wouldn't recognizes the little details anyway.

He said something about "voice c...[inaudible] services", called it "voice simulation" and that it's going to be awesome. It might be "cognitive services" and refer to this: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/services/cognitive-services/speech-services/

This has to be the worst bug ever encountered in a flight simulator. I switch to boat sims now.

Acknowledged.

Thank you for quoting the entire OP for your valuable, insightful and nuanced feedback.

I am beyond infuriated that they did not fix that minor issue that I had one specific time in one specific place and which I told them about by tagging Microsoft in my Facebook post. And this is a full week after release! I want a real Icon A5 as compensation. IMMEDIATELY! Or I will switch to Linux. /s

Keep and enjoy what you have. But MSFS is clearly the future for flight sims with XP11 being relegated to a Mac/Linux/airplane engineering niche and P3D fading into obscurity in 1 or 2 years.

Where did you get the impression that there would be an update today? All they said is they will announce today when the next update will come.

Very limited facts + willingness to jump to conclusions = perfect clickbait YT video. There is simply no way they could possibly fix all these issues, especially since a lot of them have been around for quite some time. Patching wil take time I'm afraid.

word not allowed, didnt know that. I thought I was simming and now I know I was gaming. My life is upside down and I don't know where to go from here...
