    Don't worry, once the dev is done with working on the ATR A330 they will get back to the CRJ. Don't worry,  they have different teams working on the A330 and CRJ. Don't worry, once the A330-neo is out work will go back to fixing the A330. Rinse and repeat.

    This is the reason I’m reluctant to buying more Aerosoft planes. The way they discarded both the CRJ and Twotter is disturbing.

  2. I’m not very impressed with how Aerosoft have been taking care of this plane after release. The updates has been absent, which is very concerning. They also “sold” the Twotter project which is for me concerning as we no longer knows how that plane will be taken care of either.

    As a result of this I am very reluctant to buy the new A330 since we know how Aerosoft takes care of their customers soon after release.

    So Aerosoft; what is the future of the CRJ,  and the Twotter for that sake? 
    Is it worth buying more of your planes?

  3. Hi! I was a bit disappointed when I started up at Antarctica (Rothera) today for a spin in the Twin Otter. As you can see the ice on the water is squared around the region..

    Is there a plan to fix this?

     

    Best regards,

    Thomas

    Remember how I always tell you to zoom into these images from Jo?

    I love the way even the glued-on bits are in a different font. 

     

    And this might be my favorite screenshot of MSFS...

    It shows more of the sim than the airport project but look at that.

     

    I'm not sure if I'm in the real world or the real world is in the sim.

    At this moment we have the option to use what the sim offers (so a very basic top down view, without fronts hiding fronts or any vertical aspect) and not even close to what we did in our P3D aircraft (and that no other dev managed!) or just not use it. 

    I have not yet decided... At this moment I am leaning towards not bothering with it as it simply is not a WX.  I think is is in line with most more serious dev teams. But do give me feedback please!

    We seriously hope for a better implementation and will of course implement what ever the sim offers! 

    Thanks for the status update regarding this.

    So far FPS looks great. As displays are the biggest draw on resources, the lack of an EFB helps the 737, but in the end both PMDG and my team use the same high quality modeling according to the latest technology (so relative low res bitmaps with high bitmap decals) you will end up with aircraft that should perform about the same.

     

    I get 44 fps in the image shown here, goes to 48 fps when the EFB only shows text.

    Btw about EFB with only text.... that part is now also done. Here is where you can read your simBrief flightplan.

     

     

    Charts can now have a dark or light theme independent from the rest of the EFB:

     

     

    Small tweak to the performance pages:

     

    Not yet implemented is the option to change runway length but as some people really wanted that we'll do that next week.

     

    I like that you have separated the boarding and fueling process unlike in the FenixA320. Good job :D

    Did not have a lot of time this week to make images, but a few new things here:

     

    image.png

    The charts can now be shown in DAY mode (so as they are 'printed') while the EFB theme stays in DARK mode.

     

    a3.png

    The performance tab is nearly complete. Still testing the performance data.

    Flight plan display tweaked.

    State save seems to work.

     

    And just to close work of this week, two 4k images. The one of the cockpit shows an older state but you get the idea.

    Will there be state-saving of the plane so I can pick up the plane in the exact same condition (knobs etc in the same place) as I parked it last time I flew?

  8. Ok, will remember to put in correct data in the menu before next flight using VDGS then.

    Looking forward to see VDGS fetching data from SimBrief in a later update.

     

    thanks

  9. Thanks for your reply.

     

    What is the MSFS Aircraft Customize screen? Is that the in-game MSFS menu where I find the World Map? A bit strange it did find the "AY" letters though.

     

     

  10. Hi

     

    I have created a SimBrief plan (ENVA/EFRO). My flight is number AY533 (callsign FIN2MF). When spawning at stand 34 in ENVA I fill in the data in the "VDGS planner" by clicking "Shift+V". In the VDGS screen on stand it says AY 1123 as my flight number even though my flight number is AY 533. Am I doing something wrong or a bug in the airport or VDGS system?

    I am sorry, but you must have misunderstood that as well. We have a lot of A330 pilots in our team and none of them can imagine switching on a hydraulic system before the walk around 'to check for leaks'. It is not in any manual we seen,. I have also asked a Airbus connection about this and he wrote me this: "No idea who told you this but it is nonsense. Never heard of it, not in any of our SOPs, not in any of our advise. So let's put this whole thing to bed and close this line of conversation. No PTU and no pressured hydraulic systems before the walk around. 

     

    That is why we depend on pilots and other professionals. 

    I actually saw/heard this on the youtube channel "737NG Driver" who is a 737 pilot and a member of the PMDG tech team. This was regarding the Boeing 737. Probably a part of the 737 manual but not the airbuses.

    Of course, it is about money.  So what?  When did that become a problem?  Every business is in business for one simple thing, to increase shareholder wealth.  It does not matter if you are a single proprietor plumber, a partner at a law firm, a doctor running an office, the owner of stocks in Microsoft or for that matter if you are like most people who are employed.  Employees actually are little micro businesses that trade their time to companies and provide production or services.   I would get pissed and dump a stock in a heartbeat if I found out they were doing anything else but making money and increasing my wealth.  It's called capitalism and even the Chinese have embraced it.  

     

    Now, what you call a fact is not in fact a fact, factually speaking.   They make more money by selling something to you and then having you come back and buy something else.  

    You are correct, BUT if you want the customers to come back next time for your next product you also need to show a good product with good updates. If that is not happening your business will be out of work and someone else will fill that gap pretty fast.

    I used to love the CRJ. Now there is plenty of good airliners out there. And if Aerosoft want to keep me as a customer for the next aircraft they release, then they have to show they can keep their products up to date.

    Hi,

    we allready announced a new V2 Version of Ibiza at our Menorca Preview page. It will be a free update.

     

    Thorsten

    Thanks for the quick reply. Great to hear that an update is coming. I just saw the preview page now, and it looks like VDGS is coming also.

  14. Hi

     

    I understand that Sim Wings use this forum as their customer support. I want to ask if Sim Wings have any plans of updating LEIB? iniBuilds just released their version of LEIB, and as far as I can see LEIB (Sim Wings) is still on version 1.0.0 after it was released in 2021-05-18. I also want to ask if Sim Wings have any plans of including the Aerosoft VDGS in their airports soon?

    I have several Sim Wings airports, and I bought them with the belief that Sim Wings was a trust worthy developer that would update their airports continuously with latest MSFS technology.

    You should ask to SimWings, as they are in charge of EDDH. Jo isn't ^^

     

     

    Actually, my question still stands in this forum since Sim-Wings use Aerosoft forum as their official support channel. Will Sim-Wing airports support VDGS in a future update?

  16. Hi, I became aware that I can synchronize the baro unit from the EFB. But I found that it also synchronizes the "back-up baro unit" (can't remember the correct name of that thing). I would like it to be the same as in the Fenix A320 where it only syncs the Capt and F.O side (not the back-up thing). 

     

    Can this be done?

    fsuipc7 Should also cause this stuttering with autosave. 

    I would still try to turn this off

    I don’t have fsuipc7. I have in fact cleaned the community folder and the stutters are gone. Need to put back the mods piece by piece when I got time. I found out that I had an outdated Nool VDGS mod last night. It could be that mod causing the stutters. I will find out next time I log in.
