the only thing that would make that website better is a way to purchase directly from you , the way some other devs (such as big radials) do on their sites.
i prefer to buy direct from dev when possible in any flight sim , and in MSFS i wont buy from the MP under any circumstances
They toggle on/off with the clipboard in the 35A and 80 standard wheel variants. As nice as it would be to see in multiplayer, adding a new variant for skis would add two more aircraft entries to the selection screen. And itās already at 8 from the 3 there were previously thanks to the SimObject structure changes that Asobo forced in SU11.
Though, the Skis still have altered physics and such, so there is no downside other than it not being synced in multiplayer.
Keep in mind, Microsoft will also not be doing a Marketplace release on December 22nd. So, Iād say weād be very lucky if release happens in December.
Translations usually take 2-3 weeks to get, usually testing completes within that time. My moneyās on the 29th or 5th. And I say that because the stand-alone version of Forwood Farm was submitted before Wilga, and it was just ingested (waiting in line for testing, translations, etc) yesterday.
Yes, but FlightFX somehow arranged with Microsoft the release, and they knew weeks ahead of time what day that it was going to appear in the marketplace. Got Friends isnāt arranging for a specific release date, so it depends on the Microsoft queue, and would go out with the Thursday releases.
And if you guys released it off marketplace you would already counted money before x-mass. Then later on you would release on marketplace and add even more āeddiesā
i believe VJ was āready for releaseā on november 22nd, which was a week before its release, Gotfriends werent that fast with their āready for releaseā
Yeah, thatās the sad part. Weād all be flying the Wilga this weekend, if it would be offered anywhere else than the Marketplace. I still donāt quite understand why Simmarket, Just Flight etc. can have a product or update up within 24 hours, while it takes the ingame Marketplace roughly 24 days.
On the last Q&A they said something about having to translate stuff first. But why hold it back for that? Release as is and provide the translation at a later date. So many people are perfectly fine with English only. Iād know, Iām German and I really donāt care about a German translation.
I have somewhat different point of view - IF marketplace provides antypiracy features that are unavailable/impossible with other providers then I am all for marketplace!
No matter how cumbersome it is now (it will get better as Asobo directly loose $$$, because of delays), as it is way more important for me to have as many as possible commercial, quality product developers (especially related to gliders) for MSFS.
If developers can with confidence put multilple man-year of work in a product without a fear of it being pirated then we can have better quality products at lower prices.
There are high quality free products made by few dedicated people like Ianās gliders (As33, Ka7, Ls4), but I also wish there is a reliable market for quality products driven by $$$, as we are mostly flooded by free or cheap, half baked 3d toys.
