I know this may seem radical, but just close these forums down for a bit and let Asobo get on with things.
The amount of dissenting opinions on here just now is bonkers, if person A hates something there will always be a B that likes it, sometimes just to be contrary and cause a rucus, some folk thrive on forum posts, here there and everywhere.
We’ve all put our Oar in already and seen Asobo … perhaps trying to appease some folk who did not like pre patch night lighting rendition change it to glitter mode … I mean, honestly, this is a waste of their resources, it was fine before, not perfect perhaps? but there are far more important issues need attention than this they need to be addressing.
The amount of times I’ve seen the the words “Sepia Mask” bandied about and used out of context the last day or so is borderline comical, suddenly we have experts on it though ![]()
We have hundreds upon hundreds of newer, often young guys swarming here who have never done this type of sim in their entire lives but have been enticed by the awesome graphics and have never really seen good night lighting in a sim, far from flown in a real GA Aircraft relativity slowly too on a night flight … they are a fair market too, as is the forthcoming console release … all are welcome.
There is a fantastic opportunity here for everyone.
What we had originally from Asobo was so core good, but I think now they are concentrating on stuff now that are not the real issues we all want from this sim going forward? Losing the press any key issue, massive breakthrough, hardly, but it seems like they are listening to masses of trivial stuff rather than concentrating on what should be done.
But with so much division on these forums between old school and new school, would it not be a good idea to close forums down for a bit and let Asobo concentrate on the core sim aspects without us public crying for their own personal change day after day and distrascting their focus?
Let them develop a core sim to the best of their ability, slowly adding solid features like VR, DX12, Helicopters, Gliders and even old school proper missions as they promised.
Perhaps maintain a few core trusted testers before releasing major revisions? Not me, there are plenty of knowledgeable sim guys would volunteer am sure.
What we have here was a good idea, but out of control now IMHO, half the folk don’t know what they want and its all become fragmented … we need Focus for this project please.
Leave the fine tuning to third party’s like ORBX, Aerosoft and more please, get the core sim working and we’ll all be happy bunnys, that was a successful formula before and can be again IMHO.
We have a good looking sim here already, fantastic lighting in cockpit and lots more, but there are other partners waiting in the wings to make it even better.
