Life as a Dev

Bill, nice try, but I am still not going back to FS9, LOL :173go1::d

And pirates want to know why I get frazzled because they can take my blood sweat and tears and hand it out to several thousand people?

That really gets to me and you are a bigger man than me for being able to handle it, probably why I don't do FS design commercially.

hang in there brother!! :ernae:

Milton, I second that. Some people and planes go great in FSX. Imagine your twin Beechcraft with bump maps of high resolution rivets, buffeted panel sections. There are some cool things about FSX.



Michael,

Im not trying to bring people back to FS9. Just some points about how difficult it can be at times, both to Dev and Customer/installer.

:ernae:

It works for some, and not for others.
 
Bill...You just keep doing what you do my friend.....:wavey:

We all love your products and will always be a loyal fan base for you ...
 
Vent away.. you have every right to.. we don't mind . You're not ony a fabulous modeler, you're an extremely helpful member of the modeling community :wiggle:

I've only done freeware, but as you know.. we get our share of unhappy "customers" too :kilroy:

The conversion stuff (FS9 to FSX) to me.. is effort that can be put into new models. I just can't bring myself to look back.

And Milton ? It would be difficult to express enough appreciation for your efforts. Your Dash-7 is like a simming landmark to me. That type of simming experience from freeware, is always in the back of my mind as a goal, when I'm pushing polygons.. :applause:

Right now.. I'm up to my ears in a Convair 240 :isadizzy:
 
Having worked on quite a few different engines in my short career, I can without a doubt say that the FS X SDK and Dev Process to integrate new aircraft into the sim is absolutely awful.

Fortunately I am just doing textures nowadays :)

I can definitely sympathize!

Keep up the good work!

i knew that, but i couldn't resist. you left the door wide open. how could i not poke at that one? it was way to easy. i try to behave, but by nature i'm a smart @55
 
My head exploded half way through your explanation to what you go through, after that my brain did not compute, too much stress for this guy, LOL! Thanks Bill! :medals::medals:
 
Fully with you there Bill...... and I am not even modeling the stuff myself !!!!! But seeing (and handling) the same kind of troubles and having similar frustrations every day.... :wavey:

Much appreciated. That is 'exactly' the case I should be doing on these switches. Yesterday, I was trying to diagnose 3 or more at a time, like a juggling act. Today, its just one switch... And the bugger still wont get on track, lol...

Bill, I can empathize with your frustrations...

I've been working for a solid 60 hours on just a single Waypoint Page for my version of the G1000 MFD. It is particularly frustrating because this one page is a conflation of four separate pages in all of the "sample scripts" available for various GNS variations.

I have to completely rework the @Macros such that the "blinking cursor" will rotate through the various "select items" on the page...

I had it working perfectly day-before-yesterday, then yesterday discovered that something else I'd done on subsequent pages had "broken" my formerly working @Macro reworks... Ugh! :isadizzy:
 
this proves it ... do planes made before 1945 or go insane with frustration at all the moderen glass stuff :icon_lol:

If I ever have any thoughts about doing aircraft for FSX, I will come back to read this. :mixedsmi:

Why?

As a freeware developer, you're...well...free to do whatever the heck you want. :d


And Bill, have you ever tried building a native FSX model and then back-converting it to FS9? As far as I've heard this is possible and easier than the other (and more common way 'round).
