February 9th, 2023 Development Update Discussion

In the future, I may start with it.
If you read YouTube’s transcription it’s very bad. One of the Discord mods recommended another one, and I tried it two streams ago, but it captures every little speech stutter. So there’s still a lot of work no matter what.

Because as @SuperAstroDog3 already said: this is not an arbitrary date, it is symbolic. If I am not mistaken this was the day when the RL plane was destroyed.
So this date needs to be met to make a meaningful impact, and since the AN225 is a WASM enabled aircraft, and WASM is not a thing on xbox till SU12, there is no possibility to release it at the same time as for PC. :man_shrugging:

As far as I know the plane is MP exclusive.

There needs to be a QA for the marketplace…hopefully soon

Mainly because you can’t stream on your Xbox. DRM makes the use of streaming cards complicated as wel.

The whole reason for the current build-up is QA.

If you mean: the mods should be a certain standard: I disagree. Who is going to decide what is “good enough”? And what is good enough? A percentage of buttons that is functional in the cockpit? The need for custom avionics? Minimal 25 animations? It’s undoable.

If you don’t want it, don’t buy it. Why would the marketplace NOT have something? There are a lot of people who (apparently) enjoy the cockpit-less C130. Why not let them?

Because they want to commemorate the date of its destruction - Feb 27.

It has nothing to do with Xbox being 2nd class citizens. It requires WASM. WASM won’t exist on Xbox until SU12. Sure, they could simultaneously release it, but then there’s be incessant whining on how the new plane doesn’t work on Xbox.

What?!

Yes you can. It’s built-in to the Xbox OS.

There is so much misunderstanding and misinformation about the Xbox on these forums and this is a Microsoft forum for a Microsoft piece of software for a Microsoft piece of hardware.

I swear, I feel like I am more of an Xbox evangelist than any of the MS paid staff running the forum.

And a huge inferiority complex

I’ve stated in the past that it really bothers me that there isn’t a (known and identified as such) Xbox specialist as a part of the Moderation and/or Community Manager team.

I’d like some equal representation.

If moderators are paid, count me in!

Are they? Been wondering about this! Or do you get discounts/other benefits?

I think the runner-up in the screenshot contest did a very good job on suggestively displaying how pleasing panels actually can be. :grin:

I stand corrected on my orthopedic shoes. :slight_smile: Can you also stream to custom rtmp servers? Google doesn’t tell?

Hester, I did not include you in my paid staff comment. I was referring to paid staff aka CMs.

Does this help address that question?

It refers to the Xbox One, but the process for the Xbox Series would be the same.

I own an Xbox Series X and use it for MSFS (among other games). I choose to host the Friday Fly-In events from my PC because that’s where my home studio is setup (lights, camera, studio-quality mic, second monitor for reading chat, audio mixer, etc.), and I’d rather not livestream from my living room couch.

It was always my assumption one or more CMs have an Xbox.

I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about an Xbox representative who comes in and corrects the myriad of misconceptions and misinformation about the platform that, I feel, I end up doing 90% of the time.

I don’t feel like the CMs represent us, because it comes across as you folks are mainly PC users regardless if you own an Xbox. I have both platforms, but I am 95% an Xbox pilot.

I’d like to feel someone on the moderator team and or CM team had our backs and was here to correct all the erroneous claims about our platform of choice.

I do not, to date, feel that here on the forum, at all, and I’d know — I spend a significant amount of my time here reading nearly everything I can.
