Live Developer Q&A is starting now. Feel free to discuss here

Hi @Jummivana, did you ever hear back from the devs on the gateway question?

Looks good they know about the issues and want to fix them. I’m happy.

They have a lot to discuss with the Gateway system. They are very intrigued with the idea and are looking into the legal aspects of the community. They do believe they can build a system where you don’t have to re-create the entire airport to edit something, but it may take awhile for them to fully get back to us on this question as there is a lot of research going into it right now.

Umm, what? You say ā€œweā€, but I use the sim every day and I successfully complete full flights from planning, to takeoff, and landing, without any problems, as many times as I like.

All aircraft were reviewed and tested for accuracy by professional and test pilots during the development, which they talk about in episode 3 of the discovery series.

As for community feedback, Asobo should provide a communications avenue for those here who have actual logged hours in the specific aircraft modeled in the sim. Those people should have priority when it comes to pointing out inaccuracies with the authentic operation of those planes. Seriously, who is better qualified than someone who flies these planes in real life?

As it is now, there is too much noise coming from people with zero real world flight experience, in ANY aircraft, who just seem to think they know how something should work based on… well, I don’t know what. Youtube videos? Maybe they watched Top Gun a few too many times? Maybe they have a rich uncle who let them sit in their private Cessna 182 when they were 12 years old, and now, 2 years later, they think they are aviation experts. Who knows.

something like that coming soon was mentionen in the last QA if i remember correctly.

the public beta and their results seem to haunt them a bit.

Thank you! I look forward to (hopefully) hearing more on a future Developer Q&A. To me, this is one of the most exciting ideas for the roadmap of MSFS!

Whoops I missed this before I messaged you!

Thank you so much for initiating this conversation & asking for us. Hopefully this progresses soon and we can get on with editing our favorite airports and their taxiway signs & building placement :slight_smile:

To the top of the Q&A list for next month :pray:t2:

I find the first line of your post very hard to swallow. My experience with the sim has been very disappointing as far as realistic flight models in the few planes I have flown IRL. It could just be the sim overall and not the individual planes. Loads of nav data missing. Control sensitivity is a mess. Systems are ignored or full of bugs. Who knows what expectations test pilots had? I just hope it get better soon and approaches the expectations we had from all the hype.

and you sir are right on all points aircraft are just a mess

I think game performance optimization is the current top priority. Why is MSFS2020 called ā€œnotoriousā€ when it comes to graphics card evaluation? Your current ā€œhigh frame rateā€ is obtained at the expense of picture quality, don’t deceive yourself.
