Grounded

I hope we can lock certain areas, so they aren't dumped as oldest. For example my home area and airport I want to keep cached all the time.

Are you saying that no one should be able to give or get freeware planes or other addons? And if I can share with my friends, then what would prevent me from charging them, or others?

Are you saying I can fly through most buildings? I thought they talked about buildings affecting the wind, but you can fly through them? Seems silly. I hope they can just check for local collisions, i.e. when you get close.

I hope the Marketplace is not the only way to add addons. What if I create an addon, say a plane, and I want to share it for free? What if I only want a few people to get it, say only the AVSIM community, or just some friends? And if I make frequent changes or updates, how long will it take MS to post the changes?

Wasn't there a rumor that this 2020 sim would ship on Steam? Does this mean that they won't, or just that 3rd Party items won't be on Steam only MS marketplace, or only the market you buy from would get the cut, or something else? Anyone know, or educated guesses?

I think they said you can cache one area and fly it over and over. Even cache a large area. Or turn off the internet without caching anything and still see buildings and trees and fly the world. I would guess they have setup monthly limits as well. I guess we will know when it launches.

I was wondering too.

I only know what they post.

This is what we know from March 19th--- ALPHA BUILD UPDATE The team is currently focusing on releasing an updated Alpha build which we are planning to release next week. ALPHA INVITATIONS There have been a number of discussions in the community regarding Alpha build access recently. We are continuing to discuss our current participation strategy and will finalize any changes/communicate to the community, once we release the updated Alpha build. Our current top 3 tasks regarding Alpha participation are as follows: Ensure that everyone that received an acceptance email has access to the Alpha. Ensure that those that registered early for pre-release build testing, have access to the Alpha. Assess Alpha participation options for adding more people as quickly as possible.

The grass or greenery on the right seems to have different shades to it. Nice that the grass/greenery doesn't all look the same perfect green.

I hope bush flying is rewarding. It needs to have challenge and risk to it, just like real life.

Although RDR2 isn't pulling in live weather and trying to create clouds and effects to match. Not to mention looking good on ground and the air. But if they can do better, then that would be great.

I would like a built in flight instructor. One that tells what the gauges do, and why you use them. But tell me the rules. Like where I can or can't fly. When I need to talk to ATC. What will get me in trouble. Everything as if I had an instructor teach me to get a private pilot license. And then give me rank in the sim so that other players can see I have completed the course.
