Dear friends, we are acutely aware of the new issues after SU5. And we have an update that solves most of them. However we can't release that at this moment because it would still require the rather messy work around for the airspeed. This is something we simply can't fix and have to wait for assistance. As far as we know this issue will not be solved in the Hotfix that should be out today. When we had a chance to look at the hotfix we'll probably know a bit more. There was no way we could have predicted this, yet we feel very frustrated and are extremely sorry the current situation. Rest assured that everything possible is being done and we hope to have good news soon.

Sorry we are awaiting some feedback at this moment. Loads of phonecalls the whole day.

We can be lucky that Windows 10 is not on the list, that would be a „deadlook“, lol. But it is short before: Buy a PC without any additional software from the PC providers or other and only install the Mircosoft Flight simulator. Called Mircosoft PC Game Box 🤭 Sorry, but it‘s far away from professional business.

Aerosoft Simple Traffic has just two jobs: To show correct liveries and correct traffic routes between suitable airports. So instead of seeing a row of imaginary airlines at Frankfurt International you see Lufthansa aircraft. And KLM aircraft at Schiphol, Delta at Atlanta, Air France in Paris, and United at O’Hare. You get the idea. Optimizes the framerate by using only the lowest polygon versions of the default MSFS AI models. Too detailed models for AI traffic, in our opinion, make it hard for complex scenery and super accurate aircraft to get enough resources. That is all. It does not promise more. It does not do more. It is not the final AI Traffic tool we would all like to see in Microsoft Flight Simulator but for many technical reasons that are not easy to complete at this moment. Simple Traffic is a quick fix, but we believe it simply does well. Instead of fake liveries, you see the correct ones using the simplified default aircraft models. The product will be updated regularly. In the two attachments, you see the airliners and airports that are currently covered. It is that simple and that is why it is called Aerosoft Simple Traffic and that is why it only costs €12.50 (plus VAT when applicable). It should be available soon. For now, enjoy this trailer and we’ll have some images for you in the next few days. For more details see this new forum section: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/forum/1112-simple-traffic/ Please note that this product, created by Revolutions Simulations, was previously known as Framerate Friendly AI (FFAI).

Yes, but the fix we need is currently not on the change list unfortunate. There are a lot of mails and message going back and forth at this moment we are hugely sorry for this issue. There was absolute no way for us to prevent this and it came as much as a surprise to use as to you.

Correct.

I believe that no one will be mad at you if you take your time and release it ONLY when it's ready, hopefully bug-free! I also wish to commend your activity in the forums as it's quite unusual and amazing! Thank you.

Hello all, so i've noticed in the CRJ the speed changes quite late & isn't fluid when it moves. it struggles to keep the plane straight because of this. Obviously it's only just been released however i thought i'd pass on my findings to you guys. Cheers

From the MFS official forums, along with patch notes: [BLOG] July 29th, 2021 Development Update - Community / News and Announcements - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

I set here unable to eat, sleep or work. Not even the birth of my new grand daughter has been enough. My left hand is on my Honeycomb Alpha and my right on the Bravo. My mouse long ago worn out refreshing the latest version page hoping beyond hope to see the magic number 6 that will cure all the evils of SU5. These are dark times. I have over 200 business emails but I just put on an auto responder to say "Away from work waiting on CRJ update, will get back to you when I can". They don't understand. The only thing that will help is if you could just tell us when the update will be out. I know, I will still have to wait for the update but there appears to be something magical about knowing the date. Apparently it gives us hope, like a vaccine or mask, so we don't have to live in fear of being on 1.05 forever. Could you imagine how that would be. One second someone is at my door..... It was my brother. Sorry Mathis and good folks at AS I am going fishing and then to the rifle range. No need to worry about responding to this as I have plenty to do while waiting for the 1.06. Come to think of it, I have slept fine, work has been great and my new grand daughter is a whoot, not to mention watching the other two try and figure out why there is a new person hanging around.

Just wait for the update.

The WASM issues that was fixed (and we are very grateful for that) solves the issue that people who have non compatible (older) CPU's (non compatible to the sim, not the add-on) now do not see the CTD when loading.

Update is on its way. We have no choice but to wait for this. Unfortunately.

Mathijs thank you for your hard work and keeping us in the loop. Thanks to everybody you work with as well. 🙂

Im Moment wäre jede Aussage, was mit was zusammenhängt, reine Spekulation. Aber wenn Du ohne EDDK besser fährst, dann mach es so. Wir warten einfach alle auf den versprochenen Asobo Hotfix und sehen dann weiter.

No need to go away If your registry isnt broken, the installer finds your MSFS installation and you can install the product either to the default location (community folder) or choose your own location. But to be honest, I have no idea what happens when you have the MS Store and Steam version of MSFS on the same machine, if possible at all.

I see, but as far as I understood, this will not be done via the website, but in that case via the tool itself, right? Which would already be an improvement for me, at least

figured it out, moving the accessibility option from locked to legacy and then actually getting to the point where you move the throttle to taxi is when the lights are popping on for me now in the tbm...

Sorry it was a misspelling it was FL370. But yeah I know to big chance of hitting a billioneer on their way to space up there

In the PMDG forum the Admin talked about the pre-version they received from Asobo was much different as the version was going public. They had a FPS gain from up to 100% in the DC6 with the version they received from Asobo and with the public version they are back to the place before the update. Just FYI

Thank you for the kind words!

@mathijs Kok I must say, of ALL the companies that make flight sim add-ons I have NEVER seen a person from one of those "other" companies quickly reply and be so involved with the people on the forums as much as you sir, you constantly give us news and updates on projects happening at Aerosoft and actually read the comments from the community here in the forum, outstanding commitment. As for the Otter, again outstanding work done from you and your team at Aerosoft, I'm sure that the Twin Otter will be a Hot seller, like many here I am looking forward to purchasing this magnificent aircraft from Aerosoft when it becomes available, it will truly be one of the best aircraft that will be flown more often than any other aircraft for MSFS2020 in my opinion. Thank you and your team for all the hard work that you all have devoted into making this masterpiece for us all to enjoy. Bob

Das Update des Simulators hat einige schwerwiegende Probleme erzeugt, auch die Entwickler Umgebung ist derzeit quasi nicht nutztbar, da Projekte die gestern noch ladbar waren, heute nicht mehr richtig bearbeitet werden können. Die MS Foren sind auch voll von Berichten, gerade was Abstütze betrifft. Da wird es zunächst ein Hotfix von MS geben müssen, dann wird man sich die Addons ansehen, ob dort noch Änderungen nötig sind. Ohne funktionierende Entwicklungsumgebung ist das aber schwierig. Also etwas Geduld nötig. PS: Es gibt auch noch kein Update des SDK, der ggf. nötige Änderungen/Updates für die Model Exports enthalten könnte. Das sind zwar weitgehend alles nur statische Daten die keinen „Code“ enthalten, der abstürzen kann (bei reinen Scenerien), aber vielleicht hat es Formatanpassungen gegeben, die vom Sim bei alten Addons nicht korrekt verarbeitet werden. Nur um das zu validieren, benötigt man erstmal die neuen Exportmodule.

Jo Erlend, Mathijs, Once again, the screenshots you have shared with us are incredible. Isn't already time though to share a few more with all of us including those monitoring this thread daily. Take all the time you need to finish EBBR Jo, we all know it will be well worth it and that EBBR is finally in good hands (with a lot of people envyng us EBBR guys). At this time, given the screenshots we have seen, it clearly shows that once again, attention is put to the details as opposed to rush a scenery out for money... We are in for another masterpiece from Jo which i am conviced will surpass Koln (that i discovered via Filbert flies ranking). Hopefuly, the wait will not be long anymore. Meanwhile, I am enjoying Koln.

At the nose you need a lot of polygons to make it smooth and that means you are putting a much higher load on the system. It is all a balance and that is why we try to sell this as honest as possible. Aerosoft sells complex airports and complex aircraft, so we want the AI traffic to take a modest amount of resources.

Next Airport from Stairport Sceneries FEATURE LIST Realistic replica of the last state of construction of EGHE St. Mary Airfield Fully custom modelling and texturing using 4K PBR throughout the entire airfield Clutter objects and 3D people to bring the airport to life Custom HD ground layout with special reflection effects Handmade mesh to correct the coast line and realistic runway slope Custom static aircrafts reflecting the real traffic at the airfield (randomized) Perfectly embedded in the MSFS environment Optimized for performance based on specifications by Microsoft Compatible with MSFS World Update III: UK and Ireland Thrilling approach over the steep slope at sea

A lot of that is at this moment being explored, we are limited by the sim as ever before.

Wednesday, picture day... Anne worked on more smallish detail for the interiors (there will be many different interiors of course) While Jae completed the Skydiver version, that we showed last week from the modeler tools (as said before Anne will still have to hack a hole for the special skydiver door): Overall, in the last 5 months of the project we just had to extend it with one week so it is pretty much smooth sailing.

Wednesday, image day... Jae worked on the parajumper version (the special door still needs to be done). Anne closed work on the GI maps so the cockpit textures now look pretty good. And me, poor me, am now solidly on the manual. Will be around 200 pages.

Wow! Fantastic shots!!!!..... I'm out.

No, not planned. adding good looking humans will add a huge amount of polygons. When the next update promises a lot more efficiency we might reconsider.

Now as I explained late last week, the size of an aircraft product means little these days as high res textures are replaced (and surpassed) by modern technology using decals etc. A modern MFSF aircraft add-on is per model/livery smallere then a very high end P3D add-on. But that does not mean the total file size of the Twin Otter will be small. Far from it. That's a solid 6 GB and we are not even done. The reason for it is simply of course. we have a LOAD of models, more than any other MSFS add-on to date. At least one more model will be added. As MSFS does not have a solid fall back texture system at this moment, the compressed file size is a lot less (around 2 GB), but it remains a very large project. Like I explained, this is really indented to make money by selling a lot of copies and not by making a lot of money per sale. I am working on part of the sounds with our befriended twotter pilots. They have been recording every possible thing that makes sound in the cockpit for us. As an example here are the sounds of the control lock mechanism. Twot_Control_Lock_Removal.wav Twot_Control_Lock_Install.wav Or even more impressive, how rain sounds on the flight deck when you are parked. Twot_Rain.wav As said this is a very comprehensive project!

Please be a little bit more careful with your wording. There is a huge difference between announcing a new project and announcing a release. The first one doesn't include any hint on a release date or timeframe at all. It just says "hey, we are working on a new project". And working for a year or longer on a highly detailed new product is actually quite common.

With the CRJ 700 out, and the CRJ 900 and 1000 also being worked on, perhaps a Challenger and CRJ 200 after that? The 200 is the only CRJ I've experienced in real life so far.
