Digital Aviation CRJ 700/900 Project

Wer Sytemtiefe will, sollte A10 in DCS - World fliegen......

Zitat von Mathijs Kok

Let me also drop some news (probably will bite me in the ass, but what the heck, it's Friday 20:26 and I had two glasses of very good red wine). Next week we are aiming for the last beta. That means the development is closed for new things and we only go for fixes and tweaks. Still not willing to name a date but it does mean we are getting closer.

Und...das ist viel spannender:

No. I'll kill the developers between Xmas and 2016 if they are THAT late.

Vermutlich werden wir in den nächsten Jahren kein CRJ im FS haben!

Zitat von Rebhuhn

Diese Features sind leider zu 95% total unnötig. Ich brauch keinen verdammten Klapptisch, verstellbare Stühle und Lehnen, sich öffnende Fenster oder ne Kabinencamera. Ich wüsste außerdem auch nicht, was ich aus dem Cockpit heraus drucken soll, wenns nicht gerade ein Hard Landing Report ist.
Dafür hätte ich aber gerne ein Flugzeug, was mir die Spritmenge auch bei ner Kanare richtig berechnet, was auch nen Managed Descend mit 50 Knoten Tailwind kann (O-Ton Kok: "Maybe it is the weather program you are using!", als jemand im AS-Forum fragte) und was auch bei nem Direct von 60NM aufs Final den Intercept Turn richtig berechnet und nicht total verkackt.
Das sind definitiv keine Abnormals, sondern das Normalste der Welt in den Normal OPS.

Und ich dachte schon, ich wäre der Einzige hier mit dieser Sichtweise

Nun fühle ich mich nicht mehr so alleine

Ich erwarte nichts anderes von DA...lang lebe die Fokker!

Können noch offene Bugs sein, Kok's Wunschalter, seine Körpertemperatur, IQ....vielleicht aber auch die Tage bis zum Release (lol).

Mit oder ohne VC? Ich denke da an die Fokker. Die Simulation an sich war nicht schlecht, die Fokker machte Spaß, aber ohne VC... Hatte man da nicht mal gesagt da solle noch eines nachkommen? Kam doch nie, oder?

Bei flightsimcentral wird am Erscheinungstag eine verlost: http://flightsimcentral.net/giveaways/

Status Update..

Zitat von Kok

As some people know on Friday evening I often try to write up what has happened over the week and what the status is on the most complex projects. So it's 19:57 on Friday, I got my glass of wine and I spend an hour trying to get a full grip on the CRJ project.

Let me start by saying that the whole team is still aiming for end of September. We are doing 70 hour weeks to get that done. But there are certain unknown factors that being the project manager are mine to solve. For example we had some issues with sound that are now dealt with this week. Ingo who is doing the manuals had some personal stuff that needed to be taken care off so I took over one of the manuals (the easy one, vol 1). We got a kick ass team of testers and advisors who are sending in issues you will most likely never see but are being added to the "big list of things to fix". I have this week even started to tag some of the issue as "For Service Pack 1". Believe me that is a sign we are getting there.
But there are also issues that are extremely hard to control. All serious work is on the FMS and HUD at this moment. Only this week did we get the nav data in the format we wanted (we'll deliver with a Lufthansa Sept 2015 database btw, no other company is able to deliver up to date databases on release) and still have to get a Navigraph database in the correct format. If we are late we'll even be able to include the October database, lol.
So things look good. But there are open issues. And we are attacking them. And we also know, that just as with the busses we'll have open issues that need to be sorted out. But we have shown in the past that we stand behind our products and do not dump them on customers and leave for vacation. Just as the busses this is a core project. That means it will be updated over a long period. We'll listen to what you want and focus on that.
Finally, this afternoon I had a customer on the phone who asked me this: "With the Airbusses you had a very clear goal, you wanted to have the job of the flight crew in normal flight conditions simulated. With the CRJ it seems there is in parts a deeper system depth, but it's not clear how deep. So what is this CRJ to be?"
A damned good question. Not easy to answer as indeed we fluctuate a bit between 'complete systems' and 'what is actually used'. Over time this will get more clear. I (and Digital Aviation) want to see how customers actually use the product before deciding on how to continue. It will remains a moderately priced product aimed at a mid to high educated user. We'll never say this is 'the Ultimate CRJ' as that is clearly not what we want. In my personal opinion a lot of the marketing words used to sell add-ons is way over the top anyway (99% accurate, what the heck does that mean?). So what do we intend to deliver? Basically it's easy. The best CRJ you can buy for FSX/P3D. By a large, very large margin. Nothing even comes close.
So will there be issues and bugs? Heck we try to do our best to solve them but yes there will be. Some people will claim it is the worst add-on ever (actually there is one of those for EVERY add-on we ever did). But as always, and we got a damned good record on this, we'll listen and work on them. To proof my point, the A320 we done is currently in revision 2066. That means since we started the project we have had 2066 versions. The last update was this afternoon. And when we feel things are stable we'll do a 1.4 versions of the busses. Free of charge. The CRJ will be the same. Version 1.00 is a fine start, after that you tell us where you want us to go.

Hat zwar weniger mit dem CRJ zutun aber das aus Kok seinem Mund:

Selbstreflexion sag ich da nur!

Irgendwie beschleicht mich manchmal das Gefühl, wenn Kok nicht bei AS gelandet wäre, könnte er für die englische Ausgabe einer BILD-Zeitung schreiben... Ohne Mist, dieses selbstlobende Gelaber erinnert mich tatsächlich daran.

Hat Aerosoft eigentlich jemals ein Projekt nach Plan fertiggestellt?

Wäre mir neu...

Für den FS98 vielleicht noch...

Gibt es eigentlich mal was neues oder wurden die Arbeiten analog zum Flughafen BBI eingestellt?
