I'll never understand why people moan and groan when they know full well it's only 'early access'... if it was being released as a finished article then I could understand the gripes!

This was posted over on the Dovetail forum which did make me laugh out loud,
"The aicraft are great in terms of functionality and eye candy, but they fly strange... bumping through the air instead of flying."
Obviously never flown a light aircraft ! First flying lesson I had in a 172 with a diesel engine, my hands were white from gripping the yoke so hard and trying to counter act the turbulence ! The instructor told me to just hold the yoke lightly with just my fingers and it got easier.
Even though it is an early release us flight simmers must applaud the effort that the designers of the sim are trying to do.It is not FS11 but a totally new product so lets just wait and see shall we ?

I'll be buying this one of these days. Even if it were just for flying circuits in GA aircraft, the current price isn't too bad...

I'm not sure to what extent FSW may be held back by using old FSX code. I hope it will go beyond rendering/performance improvements and allow expansion in other areas. Wake turbulence, camera/view management, improved ATC/flight planning, to name a few that are high on my list. Or a built-in "career" system as seen in Air Hauler or FSCaptain.

It seems that you can 'import' some aircraft from FSX with a little bit of effort. Not perfect but at least it's possible. That is until DTG puts a stop to it. That won't fit in well with their DLC marketing strategy at all.

That being said,there is a 3 page,3 day old thread over on the Steam forums made by Drawyah telling you how to do it and so far no comment or action from the devs.

*edit* Looks like he's got scenery working as well.

Don't know about that... There are plenty of games (including DTG's own train sim) where official DLC, 3rd party addons and freeware mods coexist. If anything, it is in DTG's best interest to encourage an active modding scene. Now let's just hope that they see it that way too wink

I do hope that there will be other places to get mods/addons from than Steam. Steam Workshop sure makes it easy to install mods, but it's a terrible place to find anything and even worse to find detailed info about what a particular mod does.

I'm pretty sure that DTG said that FSX add-ons would not be compatible.Read into that what you will. Maybe they never will be 100% compatible but at least workable. I'm sure there are a lot of FSX owners with large expensive collections of add-ons that wished that were so.

As you say,time will tell.

If/when we get to a point where all my ORBX stuff can be used, and a few key addons are compatible, I could see my self switching over to this after some issue forces me to do a complete reinstall.

It would be a game-time decision though, depending on the state of FSW, whatever state P3D is in, and which supports the addons that I really can't live without.

Last week we launched Flight Sim World into Early Access, and hopefully you've spent the weekend enjoying the first step for FSW.

Since then we've been on the boards, scouring the reporting forms and gathering feedback to compile a hit list of immediate fixes with an update planned for later this week:

Addressing brightness issues on runways
Improved lighting on autogen buildings and AI aircraft
Improving lighting on the horizon
Translation fixes in the UI for German & French
Music tickbox is now ticked when music slider at 0
Quitting a lesson now returns to lesson screen
Disabled state option implemented in repeat dropdown in Key Assign Panel
Livery of the aircraft in Scud Runner mission changed to reflect UI
Heavily revised audio for both PA34 and PA46
Momentum effect applied to all aircraft default cockpit views

Additionally we're aware that some users have been affected by optimization issues, whilst fine tuning performance will be an ongoing process throughout Early Access, we're looking particularly at sub-par performance on high-end machines.
