Of course I’ll help you out, just like I want to help out the others here who consider me a whining child who didn’t get the presents for Christmas the parents “promised”:
The point is that they promised to deliver “a sim, first and foremost”. Have another look at their partnership series: The visit at Daher, stating that they wanted to “tweak the plane’s parameters even beyond the POH” etc. Did I expect any default plane to be on this level? No way! They raised the expectations, it wasn’t me or others who wanted more out of this than feasible.
And look at the MeteoBlue episode, where they stated that live weather would “reflect real-life conditions” (don’t know the exact phrase, but anyway). Again, they raised the bar and with the current implementation they can walk under it without even bending their knees.
Then the thing with the up-to-date nav data etc. etc.
You know, I don’t care if people here accept everything they got delivered, even in its current state. But don’t blame others for reminding MS/Asobo’s of their own statements that got sacked for a quick ROI.
Thanks for your offer to help me even though I did not ask for help because I am happy with my FS2020 purchase decision.
I understand your adopted mission to complain, but politely point out that we, I believe, all purchased the product from either Microsoft or the reseller Steam or Aerosoft and not from the contracted developer Asobo. If you bought an Apple smartphone at Amazon and wanted to complain that it did not fulfill your expectations, would you repeatedly complain on the Amazon forum or on Apple’s doorstep. I do not think that Tom Cook, CEO of Apple reads the posts on the Amazon forum. That would seem a little futile to me.
I found the following for you on the web to help your mission: Brad Smith is the president of Microsoft, where he leads a team of more than 1,400 business, legal and corporate affairs professionals in 56 countries. He serves as the company’s chief legal officer and leads work on a wide range of issues involving the intersection between technology and society, including cybersecurity, privacy, ethics and artificial intelligence, human rights, immigration, philanthropy and environmental sustainability.
I cannot give you his home address but you can find the address of MS headquarters on the web.
I don’t think Bill Gates accepts complaints any more.
Let us know how you get on.
Good luck
Thank you, I certainly will enjoy to the fullest what will become the best flight sim on the market. I find the other sims awful and more suitable for awful children and unbelievable adults who want to play with awful Lego bricks or unbelievably play at being awful pilots and unbelievable do not have a awfully high expectation in terms of unbelievable features, performance and technology. They are mainly unbelievable awful games to be fiddled with to get them working or make them look half-good. Is that awful or unbelievable.
I learned quite a lot in this thread and this forum. Challenger wasn’t a space shuttle “first and foremost”. the 737 MAX isn’t an airplane “first and foremost” (neither is the 787 btw.). The Hindenburg never was an airship. The Comet never a real jet airliner. Berlin Brandenburg airport never a… actually forget that one, bad example to get my point across .
Shouldn’t we be classifying FSX/P3D as air rail simulator lite?
I hope the developers/programmers and project managers have a really good filter between them and this entire forum. It will help them keep focused on fixing problem areas and moving forward with product development.
