I have the Logitech yoke as well and the elevator and aileron trim were already programmed to the two switches on the top right handle of the yoke.

Maybe I misunderstood the OP’s comment. My responses weren’t meant for Asobo nor was I the one trying to make a point to them. I think you misunderstood my responses.

Last comment from me on this…if Asobo were simply being pressured and controlled by the totalitarian “marketing department” then why even bother with a beta? Who cares if you meet the quality bar? You have to get that software out or else the “marketing department” will be mad!! Do we know if they actually slipped release last summer? We don’t. They may have had an initial release for June (for example) and ended up releasing in Aug. Or the opposite could have happened, they may have hit the quality bar early and been ready in Aug, with an original target of the “holiday season” around October or November.

If you want to see how Microsoft does (and most developers do) software development, look into the Agile software development model and the Microsoft Solutions Framework. Not sure exactly how Asobo works, but I would assume they would use some form or variation.

I would submit that’s not how software development is done. The “marketing department” doesn’t set the release dates or tell the developers when to release. Some of you invent these scenarios that just plain don’t exist. They review the features and the architecture and determine when they can release. Then the “marketing department” markets that release. Not the other way around. The trade offs come in as they get closer to the milestones they’ve set. They cut or add features based on cost, time, and their relationship to the budget and release milestones. So if Aug 2020 was agreed to, and they’re not ready by a specific milestone, then they either cut features or slip the date…or put more people on the project. The old developer’s triangle…you can have it Fast, Correct, or Cheap. You pick two.

Of course this assumes that the “marketing department” deliberately lied for some unstated reason…and it’s all a big conspiracy. It’s a commercial game. Making a profit is the name of the game (as it should be). There are many factors that come into play, and success of Xbox is one of them. This version of the sim is very ambitious, and frankly, 2 years ago none of us thought it would ever happen (at least I didn’t). Most were happy with P3D and FSX and the constant tinkering. So like anything else, if people think the new version isn’t adhering to some quality standard or some imagined flight sim ethos, then don’t use it. Stick with P3D or FSX and be happy. 🙂

Purchased through MS Store. No issues at all. Update the application and then run the in game updates as needed. Only problem in a year was the update server timing out while downloading SU5. Tried it again 30 min later and worked fine. I do own some other games via Steam and it’s typically been fine too.

Flight Simulator may have already been updated when you started the system and already show in the list of recently updated apps with the current version 1.18.15.0.
