My thanks to the 71 (so far) people who have liked this thread. Apparently the issues I raised are common concerns to many. In the four years MSFS has been out, getting Asobo’s attention on a particular subject/issue has seemed ineffectual because of lack of response on their part. As discussed in this thread, improving the dialogue between user<>developer, who are both striving to make MSFS all it can be, seems in need of improvement. Thankfully this forum is available to collect people’s input. Sorting it all out and using it productively must be a great challenge for Asobo, but hopefully they will get better at it over time. Perhaps “improved product management” should be on the “wish list”! :o)
A few days ago I virtually flew an ultralight over the Gaza strip to see what it is like. In going so I thought “how cool is this?” This product is absolutely amazing and has so much potential. Combining the efforts of users and developers via this forum seems like a good way to realize that potential. Keeping in mind that everybody has MSFS’s best interest at heart, no matter how our frustrations might be expressed, seems beneficial.

p.s. I also started with an Apple II circa 1978, and started a mutual support club called “Hood River Apples” because we all needed to support each other to survive. In many ways this forum reminds me of that club! :o)
