Cleanup time?

It would be nice to start the cleanup process. Taxi lights, lack of signage, pushback keeps missing the plane, vehicles running up and down the taxi and runways. This might take our minds off some of the larger fixes and make the sim more enjoyable.

One would have to wonder at the competence of the developers and programmer's of MSFS.

What you are alluding to are the very basic ground requirements of a good simulator, and to

have them drag their feet for such a long period and no fixes in sight is just not acceptable.

My guess is as long as they have your money in the bank then who gives a rats ask your father.

Maybe because there were larger issues to fix besides a few lights out of place or a few signs missing. Oh and BTW, MSFS has been out for only 5 months.

I think it's just that they're up to their asses in alligators.

There are so many "details" that need fixing (rivers being shown sideways on hills, cars zipping along on grass, dashboard controls missing, aircraft handling issues and on and on), and they are committed to delivering VR in December.

You can be sure that Microsoft isn't going to be willing to kick in an extra couple of million for new staff and overtime. So Asobo just plugs away at it.

Developing in 2020 is not the same as developing in the early 2000's.

I see MSFS going to Xbox, being simplified and they will focus extensively if not solely on that platform.

I think Microsoft may have picked the wrong company to create the Sim. Should have been done in house.

Agreed.

Lost control of management and supervision. Leaving Asobo to decide what comes next is a fundamental error. `Fundamental` as in proper management control.

At least, that's how it looks from here...

The other way of putting it is they released too soon, and couldn't organise a P* up in brewery, if current assessment of their fixing capabilities is anything to go by. I expect Xbox implentation to be similarly cack.

Microsoft did not use "in-house" developers for flight sims, they used the Aces Team.

My young friend, Flight Sims are never finished, there is always something else to add or repair. If they waited until everything was perfect you would be older than me (84) by the time it was released. I suggest that you scrounge up a copy of FS98, fly it, and compare it to FS2020 to give you a baseline for comparison. The other thing you could do is offer to give Asorbo a hand by doing your own corrections and if you feel that they are worthwhile post them for the community to use.

the world they are creating for themselves is going to be so unforgivable and unlivable, may God have mercy on them lol I've only just survived this release of the new sim and that's an achievement in its self..... It's the best sim ever produced minus the few bugs that will go away with time......

Louis CK has a terrific comedy routine on YouTube (yes he's personally kinda creepy and uses a lot of 'swear' words) but he is often hilarious and in this riff he is 100% spot on about how we live in AMAZING times but so many are still not 'happy'.
