ya, tell us what we don’t get…
i fully get that many of you “simmers” expected this sim to be up to it’s promises from day one even though some you have even alpha / beta users during which phase nothing got fixed either, as it seems. however, it’s not, we got it and never ever will be because none of us can turn back time.
done! it’s okay. it’s deficient in many ways and no, they didn’t keep all their promises. that i didn’t expect or believed that from the beginning once aside. microsoft still has kind of a history with releasing unfinished things (remember windows vista, the internet explorer, iis, …) but that, too might just be me.
and then again: i bought on day one but i was more than curious and ready for just everything. that i didn’t even expect anything at all, again, once aside: just always be prepared for the worst so you won’t be disappointed. it works for me and i’m just too old for this since i have been disappointed just way too many times.
but what now? keep on grinding for telling them they failed, again and again and again? for what reason and how would it speed up fixing things if, for example, devs had to crawl through somewhat tiring threads like this? well, maybe you know any better… i bet you do, haha. and aside from that, it’s simply always the same and the same and the same issues that get brought up here.
but apart from that, this is what i got learn about the x-plane and its user community (and ya, i know it’s somewhat generalized and not right but to keep it short):
-
seems to have superior flight models with respect to many many planes (different reasons i.e. third parties are around et cetera) and there are even faa-certified version and planes (probably costs way different then, though) and this is awesome. that’s nothing this game here will accomplish in the next one, two or even three years but i might be wrong. and again, we acknowledge.
-
is not really goot looking out of the box and i tried it out (well, there are add-ons, 15tb of them plus many many more tb as it seems; i don’t have that storage capacity around but that again might just be me)
-
their community is sworn in and disregards many many things (and ya, i checked their forum for some while now)
-
XP 12 will come and XP 11.5 finally introduced the vulcan API - for the better or the worse (i don’t even think that dx12 is worth any hassle but again, maybe it’s just me, haha)
to boil it down it comes to this: x-plane is way more advanced than this game and it won’t be for quite a while. microsoft and asobo might have promised a lot and didn’t deliver on spot for you but
i am overwhelmed because i am new to this and can’t even compete with all the issues coming down on me. i still can’t reliably land a c172 in this game (my navlog says 1 out of 13 flight i get a touch down, at least).
and this might be something you don’t get: there are currently many many new ones to this that are a wealth for this and your sim community. we spend money, encourage third parties to join and continue to exite all of us and may even convince microsoft as a publisher (which they are, microsoft is NOT the developer) to provide more and more ressources in the long run - a run that has started for many of us three weeks ago.
since many of you seem to be missing things that haven’t been fixed or been around during alpha / beta, why wonder that there’s nothing of that being done now? no one seriously can be that naive but bragging about “see, i knew it” doesn’t make anything better either.
some noobs like me will keep having the time of their life with this sim, it might become a new hobby and some us might even be inspired to spend money for a ppl. this constant whining about issues we - by now - all know about is actually driving early birds like myself somewhat away from this “sim” community.
geez, even if i would get an airliner up in the air in this very game via its somewhat simplistic check list, i would never even be able to get it where i want even with its limited functionality. but this (and ya) IS probably me - i admit it. i still have to learn a lot.
x-plane probably won’t have to worry for the mid to pro simmers but us losers i bet we won’t go there - for now!
like it or not. well, probably you do like it because somewhere down deep in my i really do think that this is your true intention.
. That made me laugh
