Maximmm 0 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Very curious... I know Microsoft/ASOBO have no news or updates to include an option for developers to incorporate a weather radar to their airplanes yet. Does Aerosoft, that is in close contact with ASOBO putting some pressure to remind the MSFS team that nice detailed aircraft like the CRJ and the A330 realy need a nice radar system ? If Aerosoft, PMDG, Fenix and the rest would put some pressure on them I bet they can open something for the developers. What is Aerosoft doing about that ?

Ritch 65 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 If this has been covered before, I apologise. I've read most of the posts on the thread. Will the cabin call buttons work that are on the overhead panel? Yes, it's a very tiny thing but for me, it would be the icing on the cake. I'd like to say a huge thank you to Mathijs and the rest of the team at Aerosoft for not only their work on the upcoming A330 but also for dealing with the users here with patience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually a really nice idea. I loved the FSLabs for how it felt like you had a purser in the back calling you to say that the cabin is ready. Could such a thing (cabin ready calls, or any other common cabin crew + pilot interaction) be implemented in the upcoming A330 perhaps? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filipe C 27 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 On 3/5/2023 at 7:36 PM, Mathijs Kok said: I am not a fan of 'early access'. It is mainly a thing for dev teams who simply need more money to complete their (single) development and that does not apply to Aerosoft. Beta testing however is not flying 7 hours. It is doing the same take-off and climbing to 10.000 thirty times with different weights and in different weather. Thirthy times. And then again after we made tweaks. And again after we said the tweaks were rubbish. That is why 80% of beta testers are kicked out after a few weeks. That is why it is so IN-CRE-DI-BLY hard to find good testers you do not have to pay. Hey Mathijs is there any requirements to be a tester? I would really enjoy to apply and help, if there are requirements what are them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once the cabin call button is pressed a text message to my wife should be sent to dress up as a stewardess and bring me a coffee. Go for it Aerosoft! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAG 194 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 But If there is a beta test it might be much easier for example 30 beta testers all of them has different systems and will get different issues. Also you can consider it 30 times takeoff/landing and all other procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De_smith17 4 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Is there anyway I can block the banter and only see the updates on this forum? I really only care to know the release date and not everyone’s wish list. David 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those poor devs. Doing a beta this way will ensure delay after delay to get to a release candidate because of all the new bug findings. But in all seriousness; I think Mathijs has this handled pretty well as it is. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like people saying climb performance 'seems' to be slow but are unable to give is the weight used and the trim of the aircraft. And The Dude has fine character judgment. I always appreciated that in him. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanderrr 32 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Mhh, I still have hope it can be within a few months; we don't know how far along they are with those things, and who knows - those could be the last things to check off! Also, they started adding some superfluous stuff like the wiper arcs on the windscreen, which suggests to me that maybe, just maybe, they are near the end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2 196 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 A bit off topic but Asobo have announced that they will be releasing the ATR at the end of April and I think they/Hans have been working on it for almost two years. Will be interesting to see which plane makes it to market first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
