"The current rollback works fine"...could you elaborate, please? I'm not aware of any way to roll back a Live Update once it's installed. If you mean that the current live update is not broken, well, actually it is...but you've already seen in that in the other thread where I and others did report it (the pushback using quickedit issue).
Yes, I meant to write the "Current Live Update is not broken", and of course it's not.
"broken", means something that is preventing to use GSX, which is clearly not the case with the pushback ignoring brakes after exiting from the QuickEdit. It's clearly a bug, but it's NOT preventing to use GSX, since there are clear workarounds, like creating a standard ( non Quick ) custom Pushback first, reusing an already saved QuickPushback, etc.
If saving the Addon Manager folder is sufficient to back up all of GSX prior to running an update, that works for me. It would be nice to have to option to automatically back up the current setup when an update runs, especially for those less tech savvy amongst us.
There will always be users complaining about backing up dozen of GB ( 9.0 GB is likely if you have only a couple of FSDT sceneries, it will way more if you have more of them ) will take too much space, and it will take time too, just for the ability to rollback.
Yes, we *might* add a "proper" rollback function, one that would trace exactly which files have changed and backup only those, with a restore option.
Yes, of course, everything is always possible but, our time is limited and, would you be willing to forfeit or delay something more important like:
- new service and features like cleaning vehicles, lavatory vehicles, fire trucks, ambulance, vehicles for passengers with limited mobility, taxibots, reverse pushback, etc.
- Jetways supporting AI
- a new Fuel Hydrant animation to support more airplanes like 737, MD80
- working to ensure compatibility with UPCOMING flight simulator(s) ?
Frankly speaking, what new features would excite users more ( resulting in more sales, which are required for us to survive ), the ones I made a list of, which are all planned and coming, or the ability to rollback "just in case" ?
HINT: You might try installing the Addon Manager ( all FSDT software ) on a Cloud shared drive, like Dropbox, One Drive, Google Drive, etc. I never really tried it, so I have no idea if there are other issues but, they usually have the ability to rollback files to a previous date.
