[Weather has to be important. Storms, waves, sunrise, sunsets, rain, lightning]

I have to say, when they introduced the new Cloud technology into BoX it really impressed me (visually). 

Never flew a mission in rain, snow or thunderstorms in BoX which given today's processing power was a bit disappointing. 

I hope to see these when Combat Pilot becomes available. 

it depends of the mision builder if he activated or not the dynamic rain in the mission.

Would the fact it was a QMB mission cause any problems with your recovery method?

 

Wheels

No, Qmb is a single mission. The kind of mission doesn't change for the recovery.

[Don't break tracks with updates or..]

Ok, i tried again, and i have all the files.

I can resave the mission and open it with the mission editor, but it seems the trk files is corrupted. I can't load the track in the game.

 

 

[Don't break tracks with updates or..]

In the zip file, there was only the _gen.mission.

[Don't break tracks with updates or..]

Acmi file are generated when you use the checkbox Tacview. It's not part of the track.

It's an external program that allows you to have a debriefing of your flight.

For recording, i use Bandicam which works fine, since Fraps is not updated.

I checked your track file, but there are many files missing. I tried to open it with several versions (even beta version), but i can't. I have an error.

[Don't break tracks with updates or..]

The problem is when the developer optimizes the binary file which is a part of missions files.

 

A track is composed of a few files.

- A trk file

-A directory that has the same name as the trk file.

In that directory, there are a few files :

- Camera.tc which is the camera of the track.

- All the other files are the files from the mission.

 

1- Delete the msnbin file.

2- Open the mission editor

3- Load the mission from the track directory. The loading will be longer.

4- Save the mission. The msbin file will be regenerated.

This trick is not supported by the developers, but works almost all the time.

 

 

[HOTAS joystick replacement parts]

Anyone know a website to order replacement parts for joysticks? I have owned the Warthog HOTAS for years and need to replace some buttons.

Contact Thrustmaster support. Even if your Warthog is out of warranty, they can provide you with spare parts. I had to fix the electronic card of my throttle which was out of warranty, and I was able to buy some.

Although not a combat sim, FSX does variable weather extremely well. And has the ability for 'real' weather to be imported into the sim.
That would be a real buzz.

I agree with that.

Having the choice of the weather like we have in FS2020 will be a must-have.

[Which small things from the "previous project" do you hope to see improved?]

- Object LOD must be improved or can be scaled in the option for powerfull PC.

It would be very important to see the boat at long range.

- The drag of the boats should not appear only when looking towards them. It's a means of identification.

 

 

[Don't break tracks with updates or..]

Agree, but there is a trick to play an old track.

 

 

[MSFS2020]

 

[Which small things from the "previous project" do you hope to see improved?]

- A real command formation that suits bombers.

- Shared cockpit in multiplayer to play as a pilot and a buddy as a co-pilot.

- No limits for tracks.

[The utmost seaplane enjoyer has landed]

Hopefully, like the teaser images we've seen, we'll get a playable Catalina.

And the icing on the cake would be for the co-pilot part to be managed in multiplayer by one of our buddies.

 

 

[Which small things from the "previous project" do you hope to see improved?]

A choice between static and dynamic weather, and live weather, like in FS2020.

Live weather will be a good addition.

 

[Will the future beta testers...]

I think we all know, that the majority of the beta testers, whom only flew fighters got it their way, and didn't listen to any evidence provided by those who prefer multi engine aircraft. 

Result today, is that you now see half empty multiplayer servers at peak hours. Simply because it's become arcade'ish. 

So no, I will always hope that they keep it with in the company. 

I have nothing to add to Gambit's answer.

I don't even understand how you can link beta testers and the number of multi-engine users on the online servers.

[Which small things from the "previous project" do you hope to see improved?]

The sound of the engine must be improved.

[Mission Builder request!]

I hope that objects which spawn can move like a group, and receive formation commands, and any order like a group of planes that is activated.

[From France]

Hello Jason

Another froggy inside.

Best wishes for this new project to you and your new team

If you need your former beta testers, we are ready to go with Obelix and Pollux.

 

[Which small things from the "previous project" do you hope to see improved?]

- Carrier mode which can be played in multiplayer.

 

[Which small things from the "previous project" do you hope to see improved?]

Drop tank and fuel management.

Marshall mode.
