Wasup everyone.

By Oz:
So ACOF will bring about many changes in add-on creation and in a way make them more better and exciting


Very true. Espcially for my case. MSFS has become so flexible that I have already begun to utilize it at it's full potential. Ex: Making cars for the flight sim.

FS is slowly evolving and soon it will be a near perfect representation of our real for both the virtual ground and virtual sky.

Once my Porsche is released, it should encourage and inspire many people to do what I do or at least do something that would push FS beyond its limits and full potential.

We all have ideas.

A quote from a poster that I read:

"Many dream of worthy accomplishments while others wake up and do them."

For those of you who are not addon developers, why not try being one so that you can help the rest of us? Every new helper can have a big impact on the FS world. Look at me. I started as a nobody and look where I am as a developer.

I like the idea of aliasing the DVC and I love the idea of flying with the birds [and see them get sucked into the jet engines. lol].

Put in more Piper aircraft instead of Cesspits (Cessna).  I'd love to fly the same aircraft that I am learning in right now in FS.

Also, and most obviously, the terrain detail in countries other than the US should be put up.  I fly at Brisbane and I would rather my being able to recognise a mountain in my home town rather than some river in Northern Winchestortonville in the US that I have never heard of.

My two cents.

Improved framerates on a wide variety of machines / configuirations.

In other words it makes no sense that on one machine with say a 2 gig processor, 512 M ram, and a 128 M Dx video card that the framerates run 30+ with all settings maxed, but then on a different machine at 2.4 gig, 1 gig ram, and a 256 M video card it barely gets 20+ fps at the same settings....and on yet a third machine with a 1.8 gig processor, 256 M ram and a 128 M video card it also gets 20+ fps.  And so on.

Without some reasonable logical predictable performance profile.... the consumer is left out in the dark as to how the product will perform on a given machine.  It becomes a "crap shoot".


best,

i would like to see thunderstorms from a distance when i add them to local wx. being able to fly around would be nice, and scenically pleasing, as opposed to the ts wx simply disappearing when you fly out of it.
