  1. The Southern Cross is a Fokker F.VIIb/3m trimotor monoplane that was flown by Australian aviator Charles Kingsford Smith, Charles Ulm, Harry Lyon and James Warner in the first-ever trans-Pacific flight to Australia from the mainland United States, a distance of about 11,670 kilometres (7,250 mi), in 1928.
  2. I think there's a lot of other users who aren't so fortunate to not have any issues. Terrain Morphing, Trees and Buildings popping in/out, (Even using LOD 200 and Ultra on pre-caching in settings), GPS waypoints on plans that are not being followed, CTD's still happen randomly for a lot of people. Some of the updates don't show up in the Store, (because you have to download the XBox App to your machine and failed to tell users that) Scenery and clouds quality and other items that looked great before were significantly degraded after SU5 because they needed to drop the quality to attract XBox users when that was released. Anti Aliasing took a turn for the worse as well after SU6. Not to mention a boatload of items that have been logged as bugs on Zendesk that still need to be addressed now over a year into the release. Some areas will get updated, others will hopefully as well. (IMHO, Alaska looks horrible even after adding the Orbx Mesh for MSFS) TBH, this product is still in an ALPHA mode state. How can a product that showed so much potential upon initial release go so many steps in reverse in one year of public release? It's got a long way to go from what at one time looked to be an amazing simulation experience. For myself and a lot of other users, the negatives outweigh the positives. Like I said, I can imagine how much more advanced this product would be if an established company like Orbx was calling the shots. That's all. Not looking for any debates here, just wishing for a product that makes me look around and go "WOW" , instead of, "Oh look, there's a large block of trees suddenly popping into view, Oh and look at that building that looks like it's melted.

  3. I would most certainly pay to see this happen. I'm not at all impressed by ASOBO anymore. The initial simulator was stunning in many ways but that's all been thrown away. Now it's ruined I think by the state of MSFS and it's constant updates, bugs, hot fix after hot fix that still doesn't address any of the myriad of issues that are plaguing the simulator. I am not going to get into specifics, but I'm willing to bet that if Orbx was running the ship, things would get done a lot more professionally than the current company in the drivers seat. So, can we set up a Go Fund me for donations to see if we can help Orbx buy ASOBO out and get the job done right? I'm in. Brad
  4. Henrik. Great work on this FS2020 update to your wonderful AI shipping enhancements. It's really looking good. FYI, I wasn't sure if you knew or not but Dexter Thomas and Jan De Jong are busy working on updating the AI Shipping that they did for Return to Misty Moorings to work in FS2020. I don't have any details on their scope of work and timeline. Dex has been sending me some text messages with pics from time to time so it's also coming along nicely. Maybe Dex can shed some light on this. Brad
  5. You're still going strong Dex!!! Shine on! You Crazy Diamond.
