Title: Next for MSFS
Post by: fls on May 19, 2021, 03:16:03 pm
Sorry, I know you busy but two Questions? when will we see next release for MSFS?  Will we get to see the same airports as I saw in fsx?

KCLT will be next, followed by KIAH.

KCLT will be updated too, with a new terminal and a new control tower. We *might* ( not sure yet ), offer it with a double P3D/MSFS shared license, like LSFB

KIAH will be updated too, with a new piece of terminal.

GSX is progressing daily and we are working full time on it ( not the same time that is doing the airports ), we'll share something more in due time.

ALL models and animations are being redone again, since we don't want to recycle the P3D objects, even if the PBR versions were already good, but the general level of quality in MSFS planes requires a matching higher level of quality in GSX vehicles too so, there's a lot to be done yet, but it will be worth the wait.

How long will it take to get products to Microsoft store? ???

Who is doing KLAX for MSFS? I feel so out of the loop. I do way more flying in MSFS than I do tweaking and browsing message boards like I did in P3D so I really don't know if this has been announced anywhere

As of now, nobody has announced it as far as I know.  Perhaps, FSDT will update theirs in the future, but it is probably far down the list as the default sim has a decent KLAX already.

We are surely looking into KLAX but, right now, it might not be a good idea, because the airport is undergoing a huge renovation:

https://labusinessjournal.com/news/2020/nov/16/lax-would-add-2-terminals-under-new-proposal/

Which right now is just a proposal, and construction will start ( if approved ) in 2023. Also, there's another proposal to rebuild T6 as well.

This means:

- Doing KLAX now (which will take at least 1 year anyway), wouldn't be *that* much different than the MSFS version.

- Doing KLAX in a couple of years, might result having to model a big building site which would have to be updated anyway again.

- Doing KLAX later on, after the rebuilt is complete, is the thing that makes most sense, since the default MSFS version would be obsolete.

Since we're asking..... ;)

Are you planning on reworking / updating PHNL and the Hawaii vol 1 & 2 set of airports for MSFS?
Those were some of my favorites for FSX/P3D!

Thx!

We already announced a complete remake of PHNL a while ago.

Nothing to announce about the other Hawaii airports right now.

Fair enough - PHNL is a great start - thanks!

Hawaii is a perfect spot for Airports in MSFS with all the great new low level scenery!

Would love to see KIAH. I hate having cars and trucks driving across taxiway SC when I'm taxiing on it to RWY9 ;-)

If you mean default MSFS 2020 car traffic running over, no airport add-on is currently able to fix these, since there's no SDK or documentation available that explains how to override the default road vector data.

Or during pushback !!

I'm glad Virtuali has explained the problem.

Too bad about the car traffic but I'm still looking forward to KIAH. Its one of my favorites.

This brings up an interesting question best suited for this topic instead of making another post:

Virtuali, since you mentioned the wait on LAX because of major upgrades, are you at all concerned with the renovations at KPIT? Considering they are redoing the airside terminal and adding a lot of various stuff around the airport itself?

https://www.enr.com/articles/51150-pittsburgh-international-airport-ready-to-restart-1b-terminal-modernization (https://www.enr.com/articles/51150-pittsburgh-international-airport-ready-to-restart-1b-terminal-modernization)

they've already restarted the project and actually just announced plans for a 80k square foot cargo facility.

I would also like to second the inquiry regarding KPIT.
Title: Re: Next for MSFS
Post by: virtuali on July 12, 2021, 10:46:02 am
We haven't decided anything about KPIT. It would be after KCLT, KIAH and PHNL anyway so, it's not coming tomorrow.

I'm going to revive this thread and ask about GSX. Umberto, I know it'll be ready when it'll be ready, not really asking for specifics, just curious if the target is 2021 or next year? Please save us from what's in the default sim, the entire simulation world will be forever grateful, trust me. :)

Post by: virtuali on August 27, 2021, 11:06:28 am
We never announced any release date for GSX, and we are continuing to work on it, since there are a lot of modeling and animations that needs to be redone ( so object won't look out of place in the MSFS world, and won't look "ported" from P3D ), while we are waiting for some required addition to the SDK which we asked long ago, and are still missing.

GREAT... and what about our SWISS Airports for MSFS2020???

1. Samedan (LSZS) is reputed to be very challenging. The last part of the approach must be flown visually.

2. Sion (LSGS), as you should know is the other very challenging airport of Switzerland. Sion has an IFR procedure that is an IGS (or a GNSS) with a roughly 6 degrees glide path into a rather narrow valley. The procedure starts at 17000 feet high over our magnificent swiss mountains! The missed approach is also challenging, especially if an engine is lost… I do fly LSGS almost everyday on P3Dv5. Missing it on MSFS2020.:-)

3.Geneva (LSGG) for MSFS2020!!! Why not??? I would buy all of them straight away when available!

4. Unfortunately, I have not heard much about GSX Ground Services coming to MSFS2020, but I am pretty sure that it will of course be ported to MSFS2020. It would be just unrealistic to assume otherwise, since it’s YOUR best selling product so far and I will need it especially when PMDG airplanes will start to arrive. Yes I know that it’s not possible to have GSX right NOW, because there’s not enough functionality in Simconnect I guess, to allow something like GSX ground Services. But I am sure, the way GSX has been programmed, once SIMCONNECT will be ready, it will be reasonably very quick to have the full GSX working with it because GSX itself, is a program written in Python, which runs outside the Simulator under your custom Python interpreter called "Couatl" engine. And... the guys @ Asobo should be aware of it...I hope!

And yes Sir, actually I am running quit a lot this guy right here called FBW-A32NX (developer Edition) on MSFS2020, but FSX:SE and P3Dv5 with all my PMDG aircrafts with a bunch of add-ons still can be found everytime on my M2.NVME drives. Sir, as you can see, that doesn’t mean the other SIM will die. And believe me, NOTHING really dies on this WORLD.

Nothing to announce about the other Hawaii airports right now.

I wish you could do Kahului Airport (OGG) and Kona (KOA) That is a train wreck in MSFS :). I had the complete collection in FSX and trying to rebuild lol!!
