SDK Q&A Stream Feedback

Whilst i would agree that the best possible solution is to have a fully featured, 1:1 Garmin clone built with native sim code, I don’t think that’s enough reason to limit the access other developers have to the sim. After all, who can compete with you right now when it comes to marketing a G1000? You have privileged access to not only the sim internals, but you can change the course of the SDK. With great power comes great responsibility :slight_smile:

Further more, just because some other addon built using some other methodology might have shortcomings, is that reason enough to block it? The WT G1000 currently has all sorts of shortcomings, including a hard to update database, and that it doesn’t completely sync with the sim nav data, and there are a number of bugs due to the limited implementation, and a lot of people report a significant performance impact when using a glass cockpit as opposed to steam dials. But no one said you should give up on it. We all encouraged you to keep working on it to make it better and to weed out those issues. And that is also why we all are happy that you joined Asobo, in order to produce a better G1000. But now you’re using those shortcomings to cast other developers in a negative light. That’s hardly fair. Why not think about the situation you were in before joining Asobo? With an incomplete simulation, with a wall set in front of you, blocking you from fixing some issues. Shouldn’t other developers be given at least a tenth the opportunity you got? I don’t see how this would not be beneficial for all parties involved. Because, after all, I don’t believe that this is some petty attempt at monopolizing the Garmin implementation market. I think we’re all better than that, i hope.

Again, this isn’t necessarily about you fully embracing @CptLucky8 and declaring him your beloved leader. No. This is about him being given a chance to make his argument in an official setting, with the Asobo devs, rather than on this forum with the rest of us average mortals.

Either way, i said my piece, and i won’t continue with this further, unless you have any questions for me personally. I just hope that in the same way you guys were given a massive opportunity, a very good decision made by Asobo that I appreciate, maybe more developers can be brought to the table to at least offer their opinion, especially when they have proven themselves as knowledgeable as @CptLucky8.
