andyjohnston Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yawn. High hopes, little result, IMO. Spent way too much time using these sims... FS 5.1, FS-98, FS-2000, FS-2002, FS-2004, FSX, Flight, FSW, P3Dv3, P3Dv4, MSFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Judging by the last post (in thread now below this one) nearly a month old, it seems not! (Alive, that is). Almost forgot I had this installed on my PC, not fired up since a week or two after release. I take it there's still no passenger jets on the fleet manifest, default or otherwise? Vern.

johnost Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Well - at least they are working on the details. I expect that new planes and other additions will be offered for sale. Look at Dovetail's Train Simulator, it is all add-ons for purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Looking on Avsim - where it seems interest in the title is being kept alive by a circle of about 8 to 10 regulars - DTG are already starting to push DLC. This for a sim that is still in early access (what happened over the last six months) and could change, or vanish overnight. And picking up on the theme from over there, it doesn't matter how nice they've tweaked the ground and sky - if there's not a big metal tube with 4 x PW or RR engines glued to it (2 would do at a pinch), I'm not that bothered about flying it.

johnost Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Like everybody else they have to make a living. But if the finished FSW does not include a variety of default planes, I don't think it will be competitive with P3D, XP-11, AFS2, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I looked at a snapshot for FSW on Steam Spy a couple of days ago, which revealed over a 24 hour period the maximum concurrent number playing the game was a staggering... 85. Over the same period, FSX SE had 3300 maximum concurrent players. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadcatcher Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 So is it surprising that fewer people are playing an Early Access simulation that is very real in its development compared to a mature product with many years under its belt.... not in my book.

andyjohnston Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 But it's not early access. When FSX came out, it had essentially everything ready, then got some bug fixes with the service packs. FSW is a product where they really didn't even bother. Spent way too much time using these sims... FS 5.1, FS-98, FS-2000, FS-2002, FS-2004, FSX, Flight, FSW, P3Dv3, P3Dv4, MSFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
