Again, the work Working Title delivered is not in conflict with the other parallel work to improve and innovate the sim’s various workstreams.
You’re probably not aware that in order to deliver improvements to ATC and AI, it is required that the Flight Planning Logic inside the sim be revamped from Asobo legacy code. In order to that,all the Flight Management Systems must be revamped first - hence Working Title’s delivery schedule to address the majority of FMS used by the stock aircraft. Once that’s complete, then the core sim Flight Planning Logic can be fixed and revamped. Only then can dependent services such as ATC and AI be revamped. There is an entire chain of milestones required to deliver those larger changes you refer to. This is one of those beginning steps.There would be no point to delivering an enhanced FMS and then make it optional, when the Flight Planning module in the core sim would receive the same treatment. This is a simulator whose Product Vision is to get very close to reality, in alignment with the franchise’s history.
