rksoftware

Even if I love MSFS, I now I am f.. tired of all this issues every time there is an update. The terrain spikes is killing my love for this simulator. Time to move back to a stable platform, P3Dv5 or XPLANE11

Easy moving around the word with FStarter from rksoftware at Simmarket.

Still no SDK Simconnect improvements. Seems like they hsve totally forgotten the needed Simconnect updates.

Get OC4BAv5. It works fine in P3Dv4/P3Dv5/FSX

I like the sim view better, the colors are much better::)

MSFS2020 have now been a love and hate app. I am also very frustrated about how the updates quality are. Time to move to other hobbies.

I just took my first PMDG 737 ngxu HomeCockpit flight in months now after the hotfix 5.1 was installed. I have been flying VFR in MSFS for months now and really enjoy it. The v5.1 hotfix works just fine in my setup. Flying in my PMDG 737 ngxu home cockpit again after all these months was really good. Nothing beats it, not even MSFS.

Go get a 4K 55inch TV, that is what I did 3 years ago. Can't be more happy. It will give you a lot of viewing choices and if you pick a good one it will give you superb a 4K scalable view. You can sit as close as your arm length. You can then also add other addon windows like maps etc.

Tomorrow it is 3 months since MSFS 2020 was released. After 3 months of flying around in the Virtual Skies, I get more and more impressed. The look of the Weather, Sceneries and Airplanes are just unbelievable. Please join me in sending a BIG BRAVO and THANK YOU to the MS/ASOBO team for this wonderful flight simulator.

If you have Opencockpits radio modules, use Oi4FS and turn dials as in real life.

MS/ASOBO have now released v0.7.00 of their SDK, but once again no updates and improvements are seen related to SimConnect. This means that we are still a long way from getting a SimConnect that will allow us to connect hardware modules in our "home" cockpits. It seems that the priority to fix SimConnect issues are low at the moment. SDK release 0.7.0 SDK changes WASM: Fixed handling of wrong IDs in get_name_of_named_variable and panel_resource_string_get. Fixed MSFS WASM Module project template settings. Linker error messages now properly reported in the Visual Studio Output window. Samples: Added Windsock sample. Added Bears sample. Developer mode changes Project Editor: Remove Outpur Dir settings for new project. Fix Build Package adding not necessary information in layout.json. Fix mixing images for Catalog and Content Info thumbnail. Scenery Editor: Display error when new airport is outside the qmid of the previous airport. Display parking heading. Make attach point name editable. Jetways spawn a SimObject by default. Fix projected meshes don’t overlap runway markings. Fix hidden sceneries & projected meshes poping. Fix crash when adding Jetways. Aircraft Editor: Fix freeze when loading an airplane without a [FLAPS] section. Fix Pitch and Heading Pan Rate edition in [CAMERA] section. Fix renaming a duplicate light modifying also the original light. Debug: Added option to debug draw rectangles, polygons, exclusion rectangles and terraformers. Debug draw for osm roads.

29.10 Dev update is delayed because of bugs😢

Here we go again. After 2 months after the initial WIP release of MSFS, the SDK/SimConnect has almost none fixes. This is the only real fix since release date: SimConnect Fixed SimConnect_RequestFacilitiesList. and it is not even working correctly after the fix:( With this speed in SDK/SimConnect fixes, MSFS will need to keep the MSFS 2020 in live for at least 15 years.

Hi, This is OP again. Just wanted to tell people here that I am not a TROLL, but a human being with my own opinion.

At this time for me, MSFS is only a "Cessna 172 VFR simulator" and a nice scenery tool to view the earth from above by setting dev camera on and using the XBOX controller to span around. Hopefully, it will be a good flight simulator at some point in time, but it will take a long time, I am afraid. Now, 2 months after its release, the "simulator" has not shown any real improvements or bug fixes. MS/ASOBO's priority is probably to get it working and released for XBOX now, and not to do improvements and bug fixes.

The reason that we don't see fixes for all the bugs, is that they are all working like hell to get it working in XBOX. The priority for MS/ASOBO is XBOX and not bug fixes at this time.

Large buildings "bug" is now corrected. Good🙂

No wonder why they say they will support it for 10 years. With this tempo in making updates they sure need 10 years to have a stable platform. Or, maybe there is more updates than what is written in the ChangeLog.

As they seem not to have anyone performing the task as a Quality Manager, I hope someone volunteer for this position and implement a Quality Plan ASAP.

Get FStarter from to teleport plus a lot of other features.

Does it allow a user to move from one parking position to another? At unfamiliar airports I have found myself locked into the narrow corridors between rows of T-hangars where the corridor is closed off at one end by a fence, and blocked in the open direction by a parked aircraft. KLUK, Lunken Field in Cincinnati is a prime example. Very frustrating to be forced back to the Main Menu, try another airport parking spot, and have it happen yet again. No not at this time. It is planned to be a feature later, but the SDK needs to be improved first. If you are stuck in an parking position, you can always go to any of the airport's runways without going back to main menu.

Just wanted to inform that users of FStarter from rksoftware can move the airplane that is located in a parking position and ready to taxi to any of the airport runways. This is helpful if you start at a gate or any other parking positions, prepare for the flight and start your airplane, and want to skip the long taxing to the runway. Just open Airport , select the runway and click start flight. This is just an example of another way of using the Airport Traffic Pattern function in FStarter.

I hope that MS/ASOBO do a better job in the future before they release updates. A lot of easy to find bugs have slipped through this latest update. Don't they have Quality Manager and a Quality Process in place? I just wonder?
