    Obviously this is a guess on my part but a slightly educated one.  I don't believe that the CRJ animation is a feature of MSFS.  It was probably implemented by the CRJ team.  However, where the sim limitation would come in would be how much control over that movement is/was available.  You can see these snappy animations in all planes I have tried, for example, in the nose wheel while making steering corrections.  The sim would set what animations are possible and the rules of implementing those animations.  It's like they give you a box of a certain size and you can do anything you want in the box but are limited by the size of the box.  Developers need a bigger box. 

     

    Technically my guess would be the animation currently is fairly linear.  AS would need the ability to add a dampening curve like we do with our controls. 

    That sounds plausible, but I'm still struggling to understand why a developer shouldn't be able to control the animation speed and delay between inner and outer spoilers. I've seen some pretty neat landing gear animations with slight differences between left and right main gear doors so why shouldn't AS be able to do the same thing on the spoilers? But apparently they can't and if they say so I have to believe it. I'm a guy that get a bit itchy when someone tells me that something is impossible. I've found that it most often just takes a bit longer and requires some out of the box thinking 🙂

    But we are limited to what the sim offers in animations. 

    Just out of curiosity, is the spoiler animation a feature within MSFS? Does that mean all spoilers move the same way/with the same rate on all aircraft? I find that really hard to believe but since I don't know the inner workings of these things I'm curious to know. I would have thought all animations are modeled by the developer, especially since there are a lot of different animations out there.

    Not a single one of them is producing a list of things that will get fixed on next update

    That means they have to have someone work, probably close to full time, to produce the list, check the list, check with development to see what is fixed or at what stage

    I don't know what kind of industries you are involved in, but from what you write it's quite obvious neither you or those industries are working with software development on any kind of serious level.

     

    Having a "list of issues" that should be solved in the next release is very common and in fact even got a name, Scrum. And there are softwares you can install on a server that can manage that list for you! Isn't that awesome? 😀
