[Dillon]

Thank you to a great team (Jorg/Asobo). You guys did amazing keeping us updated.

[AdelHaiba]

Thank you Microsoft, Asobo, and all the DevTeam, who improving this amazing Sim.

[FloBorge]

Thank you so much guys for offering such an amazing game, and being so generous to the community, sharing ideas, asking for feedback, listening to it, all of that. I mainly play two games on my Xbos and they are both from Asobo. I am doing my PPL training at 50 and the game really helps, I redo the real life training of the day with the game, correct things, test things that we shouldn't test in real life, all of this. And sometimes I just go visit a new area of the world and learn about geography. Merci les gars!

Could the loading images show the Location where the screenshot was taken?

Thank you so much Microsoft and Asobo for giving us these great presentations, you're all doing a fantastic job on MSFS and it is truly appreciated.

Seb, Martial, Jorg, and everyone at Asobo, MS, WT, and partners. You're all awesome people and do AMAZING work. Ever since MSFS2020 was released, I've reignited my passion for flights sims. And it just keeps getting better and better. I don't know of any other franchise with this level of dedicated support. From systems, scenery, aircraft, and partnerships, this sim has it all. Many, many thanks and looking forward to your continued smashing success.

I love the dedication to talk with users and being frank with us! We may not always like the answers to the questions or agree with the direction you decide to take, but I cannot fault at all your commitment to communicating with the user base. I wish more dev teams would have the dedication to talk with us like you guys do. BZ!

[steveunwin]

I really love being a part of this. Thanks for all of your great work.

[FranksMSFlightSimulator]

Thanks for your great ongoing work and communication. Cheers.

[GGGolf]

Flying in msfs and learning the 737 and a320 cured my fear of flying and I only have this game to thank. On to getting my pilots license!

[TheEcoWin]

Thanks Dominik for the great work! Very excited!

26:35 the framegen stutter usually happens when you run out of vram, so hopefully as said in 29:00, with the improvements in vram allocation, we will have much less vram usage providing headroom for the framegen and thus solving both the issues at once

[budthecyborg]

It's been three and a half years and the amount of work still being done on this sim is amazing.

I very much look forward to seeing the new ice mapping in Switzerland.

[yokkai]

You gotta fix the water rudder in the PC-6 and Icon 5. Also, the Kodiak 100 keeps getting stuck on ground even after removing
the prop-latch

[matir]

Any comments on Nav blue charts? they have been promised since day one, and it is actually mentioned in their web site as part of the collaboration with MSFS and yet we have not seen or heard anything about it

[rosscorr]

Well I am still waiting for a simple replay function. The ability to replay landings in particular is fundamental to improve ones techniques. FSX had it, Xplane has it, and there is a clunky "experimental" version in developer mode I think. There are add-ons of course but why is it not native and simple?

[theaustralianconundrum]

WHAT he said. Still no working wipers/rain physics, no ground friction difference in dry/wet/snow conditions, and no realistic weather but thanks for keep hammering at it...

[ScopeDK]

Thanks for sharing this - love the open approach in your team!

[alexjcamacho]

Guy's my respect! Thanks for your hard work im very happy . Question someone. Can work or do San Juan, International, Airport more realistic like your did on Dominican Repúblic, Cuba ect... please ? More details, Thanks.

[Does_This_Look_Infected]

You guys need to fix DFW. The terrain maps are a mess and I can’t even taxi without my a320 tilting over.
