For a lot of reasons, and Iâm not privy to all of them.
And Iâm not sure what that has to do with anything? Theyâre aware that the community would like to see ATC improved. They, however, have no idea what youâre talking about in many respects I imagine, as they didnât use FSX on a day to day basis back when it was relevant.
Have you reported all the ways that ATC worked better in FSX than it does now?
Iâm sure that would help them make the current system better.
But then again, is that good enough for you? I donât remember ATC working very well back in FSX and before. Iâve detailed a few small changes that should be easy to implement here on the boards. Thereâs lots more changes Iâd like to see, but Iâd like to see what theyâre thinking of improvements first.
As an example of how disconnected they are from our needs, they first chose NavBlue to provide charts for 2020. That was a disaster. Now, once again, rather than go with the king in the industry Jeppesen, theyâve chosen LOWI as their source for charts. They really have no clue how important ATC and Navdata is to us across the board from bush flying to PPL to Commercial GA to Airlines.
Then again, maybe they donât want to step on Navigraphâs toes, and thatâs why they chose LOWI. I understand if thatâs the case, as much as it makes me sad. Iâm not interested in a Navigraph subscription, or a tool that wholesale changes the default airports (thatâs a great source of creating issues).
Point being, they canât help us if we donât tell them exactly how to make it better, in detail!
(Youâre not the first person to ask for changes without providing details of what you mean today, itâs a problem Microsoft / Asobo has to deal with across the board. Customers complaining, without explaining in detail why theyâre complaining.)
