• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

July 16th Development Update

Bomber_12th

SOH-CM-2025
The latest development update is now live on the MS Flight Simulator website: https://www.flightsimulator.com/july-16th-2020-development-update/

There is a good amount of information concerning 3rd party development.

If you are signed-up as an FS Insider, there is also a new Development Roadmap in the Insider Home which takes us through the end of September, with indication of the next development roadmap being released in mid-September. Along with continued development and testing of the SDK through September, and release of more Partnership Series, the roadmap also indicates the Feedback Snapshot reports that will continue to be released on a regular basis following launch. As the Development Roadmap also indicates, a Beta Preview was released to testers today, with the Beta still on track for release on July 30th ahead of the launch date of August 18th.
 
That's good. I cannot imagine a flight simulator in the 21st century not supporting head tracking and/or virtual reality.
 
Since this line seems to have been lost on others I've seen posting elsewhere, it is worth re-pasting here from the same MSFS Dev Update I linked to above:

"Becoming a [Marketplace] partner doesn’t alter your ability to sell your content on your own websites and storefronts. Just like with FSX, you can continue to sell your content outside of our Marketplace. Becoming a Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace Partner essentially unlocks another channel for you."
