    Have you guys found out what's causing the fps degradation over time issue? Seems around the 4 to 4.5 flight time fps goes into single digits.  This might cost you sales if it ain't fixed by release.

    I've found on my end it to be the Pushback Toolbar Mod, I had dreadful degradation, heard that the mod causes memory leaks, removed the mod and now don't have any issues

  2. @Mathijs Kok on the A330 preview you've mentioned about coding the EFB in Java to enable the use of charts, is there any plans to rework the CRJ's EFB using java so we access charts or are you still going to wait for charts to be accessible for a C++ coded EFB? Thanks

    "coming out soon" I have the impression he takes us for fools not to tell us an exact date

    I think you need to understand, no developer gives a date unless they are 100% sure, it's nothing to do with being "taken as a fool", Mathijs could say, we'll release on the 28th Feb but what if there's a critical bug found in BETA tomorrow? In flight sim people seem to take dates as gospel, people even got mad in December 2020 when the CRJ didn't release, even though it was never said it was releasing in Dec 2020.

     

    We have been given a date range of Q1 2022, that's still a crap ton better than most other devs give

    Frankfurt is already modelled by Asobo, not sure if I would prioritise to buy that one, IMHO.

     

    Remember someone asked about more vacation destination sceneries. Would like to request: Sharm el Seikh. Landmarks and airport. 

    Yes there's an asobo version but only if you have the premium version of MSFS and it's still far from being high quality imo,

     

    That being said, I do believe there's an EDDF in development for MSFS

    Well, any comment from RSR is worth reading of course and just as Robert we are talking a lot to Microsoft. We are also talking to Robert, after all he is as friend and we published a lof of his products.

     

    But the A330 has some rather specific things that cause me to loose sleep. For example we still do not how to make the undercarriage of the A330 work. For P3D that animation took five full weeks of experiments. That double bogey system was a major pain in the neck and at this moment we simply do not know how to do it in MSFS, most likely we simply have to experiment again until it works. Anytime you do something new, on a 'new' platform things are complex.

     

    In the end we will try to get the best possible product out. We simply can't promise it has the same feature set as in P3D. But that is why P3D still has a a lot of fans! 

     

     

     

     

    Thanks for the answer

    Hard to say exactly. There are some serious issues we still do not have solutions for. 

     

    Although I doubt I'll get an answer, I'm interested to know what the issues are, I only say this because the NG3 is in BETA and RSR has replied to someone saying "There are a few things- but none that we think will severely impact users- and none that Asobo can't help us to resolve once they get some dev time for it."   in regards to any lacking functionality of the NG3 compared to the NGXu, I know there's still no Wx and Tx API (although PMDG have created their own Tx radar) but what else is a serious issue?

    We will see nobody knows- seems like that good airplanes for MSFS are highly complex - this we can see at the moment on all sides like Aerosoft, PMDG, Fenix …………

     

    good planes takes a while 😉

    The issue with the first couple of planes is there were elements of the SDK that needed adding or improving, this took time, of which that hurdle seems to be past, with PMDG (as an example) saying there's no more blockers for them to release their products, so theoretically now we have the first planes like the CRJ, Twitter, close to the NG3, Fenix A320 etc, new planes will not meet the same issues and therefore take less time to create.

     

    Plus mathijs said in December that the A330 was a few solid months from BETA, I really can't see a few months meaning a 2023 release especially at one point last year there was a chance of the first A330 releasing in late 2021

    It is my hope that the A321 is the next type to follow the A330 in the line up.  Plenty of A320s with the FBW and the upcoming Fenix.

    If it's anything like the FSX and P3D versions, it'll probably be the A320/A321 together and then the A318/A319 as an expansion like the CRJs

    Not to mention Simple traffic!

     

    Possibly wrong but I think simple traffic is done by a different dev to the aircraft but I agree with the potential timeframe as I recall Mathijs saying there was a slight chance of an airbus this year but I know SU5 didn't help the development of airports so I would assume aircraft were affected too.

    I hear you, but truth is, most of the MSFS sim crew is exactly that - CTRL-E "pilots", and whether we want it or not, those are the ones that buy products right now. Take a look at the MSFS market, it's filled with very VERY low quality products that sell like hotcakes. People go NUTS over the A320NX and that is just a very minor improvement over the default A320, but still they think it's a whole new development!! (Spoiler: It flies just as bad, and is just as unreliable).

     

    So, calm down and embrace the change because it is going to happen. Developers need to make money (they live from that) and thus they go where the money is and right now that's MSFS. I don't fly MSFS yet because i like reliable, technically advanced simulators so i'm all P3D, but i do keep an eye on MSFS development and as soon as 3 or 4 good aircraft are available for it, i will probably jump as well because it also looks and feels so much better and more realistic.

     

    It happened to me with FS98, FS9, FSX and will happen with P3D and, who knows, MSFS as well. It's only natural and called "evolution".

     

    It's fine if you want to stick to P3D, alas, tons of people still fly FS9 exclusively. What is important is that you do what you like the best, but understand the developers position.

    Jarred's point does some the situation up, however to add a few points, MSFS is not exclusively, CTRL E pilots, people like me who have been around since FS2002 and even earlier have made the transition (although my situation is a bit different). Also the reason for the low quality products is the time it takes AS/PMDG/A2A to develop for a new sim, and you have devs taking advantages of the market as much as they can before the proper addons arrive. I agree about the FBW32NX, not being amazing but is a tie-over until AS/Fenix get their A320s in sim and personally is a load better than the default but has a hell of a lot more work needed.

     

    The sim is capable of good aircraft already, as seen with the CRJ, DC6 and JF PA28s, MSFS as it stands will have all 3 PMDG jets in sim by Q2 2022, and QW/A2A/JF etc and new devs like Fenix are solely focusing on MSFS.

     

    Jarred's final 2 lines sum it up beautifully. MSFS is looking extremely likely to be the future but doesn't mean you have to change, but can't expect developments for platforms that are not viable.

    I'm so sick of hearing about MSFS. As soon as MSFS looses the interest of the armatures, Lockheed Martin will still be here... such short sightedness. I know sales have tanked... because there is a shinny new sim... but P3D will always be here... and if you vacate this space new developers will fill it and your loyal customers will leave and not come back!

     

    Jori, you have a wildly misconception of how the current swimming world is. Firstly if people leave MSFS the user base will still be higher than P3D ever was, a lot of hardcore simmers have already transitioned to MSFS, also it's been out 1 year...if the sim had any chance of dying, it would have already done, how do you know P3D will always be here, where's the guarantee? Don't forget P3D is a COMMERCIAL sim that was abused by many over the years and overlooked by LM, all it takes is LM for v6 (if there is one) to stop selling academic licences and it's no longer a sim for the general public. Also it's not just Aerosoft who are no longer developing for P3D, many other dev's are leaving P3D for MSFS. Aerosoft know what's happening, they didn't make the jump on a whim, they've been in business over 20 years, so they know what they are doing.

    I have a suggestion for Aerosoft to make some money. Develop an A350 or A380 for P3Dv5+! All of you loyal customers are waiting to spend their money...

     

    You sure? Mathijs/Aerosoft doesn't think so, go look at other forums/fselite etc and look at how many hardcore P3D users are going, "I'm still using P3D but not spending anymore money, once the equivalent add ons are in MSFS, I'm uninstalling P3D".

     

    Look, use any sim you want, but don't be mad because the market isn't in your favour and is very much unlikely to change

    I'm surprised and disappointed everyone is getting ready to jump ship to MSFS. Everything I've heard from real pilots is that it is not a good sim and basically appeals to the kids that used to use FSX and Infiniteflight but found money for a powerful PC or for the YouTubers and streamers that think they know how to fly but really don't. Oh well I guess I can give up hope on much of the existing issues being fixed at this point.

     

    Every real world pilot I've heard from (including me as a PPL/IR holder) has said the opposite to what you've heard (and there's r/w pilots who stream MSFS saying the same thing), the sim's been out ~a year and has been constantly improved from what is was at release. I think people's only reasoning for saying it's a bad sim is it doesn't have the high fidelity aircraft of P3D, which is changing at a rapid pace (i.e. we'll hopefully see all P3D aerosoft/PMDG/QW and some A2A products by Q3 2022). Another thing that doesn't scream "MSFS is a bad sim" is on other forums I have seen people up to 2 months saying MSFS is a bad sim...I'm never changing and now saying I'm changing to MSFS/or I've already changed and regret not doing it earlier.

     

    The point being MSFS is a good sim and is an option for people to use, you don't have to change sims (hell some people still use FSX and never upgraded to P3D) but don't expect or assume P3D updates or new products as like Mathijs said sales have tanked

    Does this mean we will be seeing less and fewer updates/bug fixes for the Airbus in P3D? This is a little upsetting if its true as P3D (as well as Xplane) is my sim of choice atm, … I tried MSFS and although the graphics are fantastic the flight models and performance in some areas not so,..so  i have gone back to P3D and Xplane ,as a long time Aerosoft Airbus user this news is upsetting... i may have to bite the bullet and save for the completers Airbus.

     

    Rich

    Rich, if I'm being honest, it's not just Aerosoft that will be slowing/stopping updates for P3D, you'll find most if not all devs will follow suit, with Asobo's constant updates (which coincidentally the next sim update should drastically improve performance, and the flight model is always being worked on, saying that the CRJ and DC6 flight model are very good), MSFS (whether people accept it) is the future, and P3D is *sadly* going the way of FSX when P3D released.

     

    Another well renowned dev (hint - big Boeing creator) has already said if they continue support for P3D, it will most likely be because of the commercial contracts and not  the general public
