Is “magenta-line chaser” some sort of derogatory term for simmers who fly airliners?
No worries then. We’re good. Mistakes happen and it’s okay. We are humans. No need to say sorry
nope not at all, I don’t think so. Just like how it won’t be derogatory if you called a VFR pilot a “visual reference chaser”
Strategic and priority decisions are made at Head of level and not at Team Leader level. And don’t forget Marketing
I would fire the entire Asobo Team. Locate the Aces studio people and have them build a simulator the community wants and can use without it crashing. We would start with FSX tear it down and rebuild it to my exact specs without deviation!
-
Separate feature and fix updates - Fixes for bugs and changes to existing functionality (Garmin functions, etc) would be weekly upates, with hot-fix patches for game-breaking bugs. Feature updates like new functionality, major changes, etc would remain on the same 2 week schedule. This would include content or world updates
-
Prioritize bug fixes - It appears like development is more geared towards and likely controlled by marketing at the moment. Things to do with “official partners” and pimping new store content that you can buy makes up a much larger part of patches and patch notes than actual stuff that matters. Things like CTDs, installer issues, weather, and bugs in planes and avionics would be top of the list to start with.
-
SDK Development - Many would put this above because they’re badly wanting 3rd party content of higher grade / study level. I can understand that. But if the base and core of the sim is broken and flawed, those flaws will also carry over to 3rd party add-ons. It doesn’t matter how luxurious the house you built is if it’s on a shoddy, crumbling foundation. Eventually everything above will have issues.
Unfortunately, that’s currently scheduled for Patch 9, which will arrive some time in the first quarter of 2021 if the current bi-weekly patch schedule continues.
