Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted May 4, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 4, 2017 I guess this question is better suited in the Dovetail forum, don't you think? They know their new upcoming product best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted May 4, 2017 Aerosoft Share Posted May 4, 2017 It is a development from the original engine (remember DTG took a license for that one), but as of yet there is no news on compatibility. As they will release at is Early Access I do not think a lot of add-on developers will jump on it right away. But who knows? They will be at our event this weekend btw.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted May 5, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted May 5, 2017 An early access on steam is actually something else. It usually starts way more early in development process, when the product isn't completely developed yet. A beta is a completely developed product that is getting tested by a large audience. So an early access helps the developers to make their mind up what their want to develop from the feedback they are getting, while a beta is just there to eliminate bug before final release. An early access version is open to everyone, while beta versions have in many cases restricted access only. This is because developers prefer to hand-pick their testers. This is mainly a trust thing as they don't want their product to be largely available in a not yet ready for release state. But of course there are also public betas known. Oh, and another difference is, that you usually have to pay for an early access version on steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prayog 42 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I think dtg has already clarified that fsw will not be backward compatible. This is because they want developers to use their modified core engine and develope a better product (in their opinion). So this is a wait game. Hope and wish its going to be fruitful in the end for all. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
