In a YouTube video from the Microsoft Flight Simulator account announcing an older scenery update, I asked via a comment the following questions: "When will Xbox users be considered in the development priorities of third party product integrations for Flight Simulator? When will all aircraft, apps…

As for the first question, the VATSIM response explains it well already. There are limitations what you can run and do within a confined environment like Xbox. Unless Microsoft opens it up we won’t see these kind of utilities/applications etc. That said, it’s very unlikely it will open up. There may…

Here more evidence of the behavior of the “community” [image] VATSIM to Xbox LIKES! General Discussion This is what I mean when I say that the “community” uses the “casual” classification applied to Xbox simmers as an excuse. I have repeatedly pointed this out and Micros…

VATSIM’s comment is correct. Everything that requires a file browser or an application that Microsoft distributes is impossible on Xbox. Changing that is extremely unlikely to happen as it would mean a complete change of the Xbox platform. This has nothing to do with the DLC creators or the Microso…

[image] TheFalconOne: This has nothing to do with the DLC creators or the Microsoft FS team but everything to do with Xbox and Cloud being different platforms. Thank you @TheFalconOne . So, if it is an issue of Xbox files and connection system, and Xbox is a Microsoft brand, then by transitiv…

As for VATSIM (and others like it) it’s pretty simple why it’ll never run on XBox. VATSIM is sim agnostic (it also works for X-Plane, FSX, Prepar3D, etc.). It’s a service outside of the MSFS ecosystem and technically works through external 3rd party applications running on your PC along any simulat…

Well, just like Navigraph plugins for G1000 / G3000 are capable of working in Xbox by Navigraph allowing 3rd party developers to push it packaged with our airplanes, or by allowing us 3rd party developers to use their APIs in our EFBs. Some examples? our FSR500, FFX HJet, FFX Cirrus Jet, Inibuilds E…

Theoretically yes, but I don’t believe it’s currently possible with the JS API’s the sim is offering. Can you take over the microphone? Inject traffic? Do arbitrary binary protocol network connections on random ports? I’m assuming you can read the position (100%) and play sound (90%) + draw someth…

You can only do so much on an XBOX.

As I said the SDK capabilities are there, you have to use a combination of SDK functionalities. JS for server connection and traffic position. JS for user interface and interactions, an in game panel would be the best. WASM to inject traffic and it can communicate with .JS just fine. I am using …

What about network communication? Isn’t that limited to HTTP requests? I doubt they use that for voice.

Waiting for an answer… Is this really Microsoft's or ASOBO's way of thinking about Microsoft Flight Simulator users on Xbox?
