Popete posted:Has anyone had issues with ATC giving you landing clearance at the same time as other planes? I was flying in pattern and finally got clearance as shortly afterwards I hear ATC give an inbound AI airliner clearance to land on the opposite end of the runway. Sure enough as I'm coming in to land I see a giant airliner coming right at me. I tell ATC imm going around and I again get clearance to land which I then do safely. It's been a thing since they originally introduced it in the series lol Anime Store Adventure posted:No, totally agreed. I said if I could play within a day or two of launch without some major hell bug, it would be a "good" launch by today's standards. My contention is just about their communication. It would go a long way to say "sorry the weathers hosed and we're looking at it" considering they have an issues tracker. They're pretty bad about comms for sure. Their entire forum is pretty neglected on their part, and if you complain about anything you get zealous defensive responses from fellow community members. They'll get it right eventually but the community management is pretty mediocre.

Is the "Live Traffic" setting for other Air Traffic working properly? I've had it on that setting and pretty much never see any other planes at all, even flying into or out of places like JFK, SFO, etc. I don't really care if the planes I'm seeing are real-world planes or not, should I just set it to AI?

My pet theory is that they pushed out the PC release when it was a little half-baked specifically to serve as a public beta and stress test for the XBox version. It's going to be a flagship, first-party launch title for the new console and it would be really embarrassing if it ran like poo poo and was full of bugs. Also I would note that the current performance and level of finish is equivalent or superior to every other flight simulator at release. It's not a high bar to clear but it's still the best so far.

I'm glad to not have to have gone to the config tweaking lengths some have, which is a far cry from the state of things in X-Plane and P3d on the same overpowered box. This definitely screams, "let's just make some money on the open beta."

Especially since ATC is so hosed I don’t anticipate that we’ll ever get anything close to AI planes that can approach a “busy” airport level. Not sure if rando AI are better. Sagebrush posted:Also I would note that the current performance and level of finish is equivalent or superior to every other flight simulator at release. It's not a high bar to clear but it's still the best so far. Also I can’t disagree with this especially considering I got X-plane 11 after they added their AI ATC which is still worse than MSFS’s, their live weather broke shortly there after, worldwide, and even after I got a live traffic plugin the world still felt almost completely empty. So despite the worst bugs, those features still beat out X-Plane 11 “today” more or less. (Though xplane has since fixed the weather and has active sky support.)

I'm having trouble with the Garmin G3000. Sometimes it's becoming partially unresponsive for me. Last time was when I was creating my flight plan. I had added departure and arrival airports, activated that leg of the journey, and from that moment on I couldn't get out of the flight plan or make any changes anymore to it. The buttons would light up when you hover over them, and I could enter the menus for the waypoints, but none of the buttons would do anything. I also couldn't get out of the flight plan anymore. Is that a bug?

Did you check your graphics settings? I believe there's one specifically for rendering real world / AI planes, if your overall settings are medium or low it may have been toggled off.

For understanding the SDK and creating assets there's also https://www.reddit.com/r/FS2020Creation/ Check out this Meigs Field addon (for those that may not know, Meigs Field was in Chicago and was the default starting field for the older MS Flight Sim games. It was torn down by the mayor of Chicago rather quickly, by being bulldozed overnight, to the dismay of many. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meigs_Field) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m3MYf3KLbo hannibal fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Aug 28, 2020 |

Anyway, until my VKB Gladiator comes in the mail I'm just letting the AI copilot fly OnAir missions transporting very legal, very cool cargo out of Panama. With damage turned off AI can complete most OnAir deliveries, it's great as a glorified screen saver. Also a good chance to re-familiarize myself with the avionics, etc

It's so obvious that OnAir was designed by Germans. Lots of insane details but terrible UX. I think it's the reputation deductions for extremely minor poo poo that really seals the case for me

I think it's the reputation deductions for extremely minor poo poo that really seals the case for me The stall ones are the worst. You get dinged 0.5% with even just the slightest hint of the warning sound. And if you're just barely hovering over the stall range while landing, you can get that warning multiple times in rapid succession, and it will ding you 0.5% for every instance. (And I get that isn't how you're supposed to land, but I'm bad at this, okay.) That part of the reputation system can't be as designed. You're getting penalized multiple times for one stall event. The other annoying part is when the autopilot whips your plane around for no good reason and you get a 1% reputation hit for a 45 degree bank.

Does it ding you half a percent for stalling on landing in the small GA planes? because it's different in airliners but in a 172 it is totally fine and appropriate to hear the stall horn come on as you flare. 45 degree banked turns are also a basic flight maneuver. Yeesh

Yep. And like I said, if you start to hear the horn then it goes away and comes back, you get hit twice. Or as many times as that happens. Fun! edit: I like OnAir's general philosophy of making you fly properly and professionally, or else your reputation will suffer, but its current FS2020 implementation is pretty broken still. I figure it's something that will get better over time. Hopefully. Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Aug 28, 2020 |

That's kind of why I haven't touched OnAir. That sort of gamification is enough for me to hook it straight into my veins but getting kicked in the face for a million minor infractions that don't affect anything would be infuriating. Doubly so if it meant my run wasn't profitable or I couldn't afford a shiny new thing.Sagebrush posted:My pet theory is that they pushed out the PC release when it was a little half-baked specifically to serve as a public beta and stress test for the XBox version. It's going to be a flagship, first-party launch title for the new console and it would be really embarrassing if it ran like poo poo and was full of bugs. This, plus I'd go one further and say their plan is to somehow get this thing running on Xbone (let alone Series X) and then port those performance enhancements back. Halo is delayed and Sony has nothing, so having a certified hit on day one is a massive deal this gen. If I were a gambling man I'd say there's a large amount of people desperately swearing at xbone dev kits and two guys trying to fix PC installer bugs. I still like the game and it runs fine for me, but it's gotta suck if you're hardcore into sims and the biggest release in a decade is unplayable. :/
