I just want a hi fidelity airliner for Christmas.

Same! I’ve been enjoying some GA flying with the sim but I’m now ready for at least one high fidelity airliner to show up!

Same here, and the continuing silence from all those planned ( despite the odd quote) is begining to look like we may not have one. I think SU5 did far more damage than was thought.

Isn't the Bredock B737 enough for you?  I mean, it's sold through the official MSFS marketplace.  It has engine noises and everything, including 247 repaints at flightsim.to.  😝

Not a lovely move from Microsoft. Giving away free  an aircraft already sold by Milviz, and then probably cutting their sales to a trickle, and  already in development by an indie. Bad manners.

Thats actually a huge compliment to Asobo. How many C172 addons are out there yet almost all sims come with a default one. So the mere threat of a default one being added to the sim that they made makes addon developers do an early release of their Porter to try and gain sales to only later addon the other phase seems to be a testament to the high quality of default planes in MSFS. Additionally how long have we been asking for sims to come more complete as so we dont have to buy additional addons and when they do we get a post like this. I tell ya this, if it was an A2A Porter there would be no worry from a default one so it just goes to say the lack of quality of an addon if its sales are threaten by a default or free one.

Anyway, isn't this done by the respected Cub Crafters outfit?

yeah I know but I am a traditionalist, a tricycle Cub, hmmm... It sound like an undervitamined 172 to me.

1/ We ? Wrong target 😄. I have never ever asked for more default aircraft so not to have to buy additional addons. On the contrary, I have   always been a  big fan of third party payware aircraft even when they are high priced.  Let me be clear. I do not mind at all  that they release a Porter, I do mind that they release it free, killing another guy's business.  

2/ The Porter is not an Asobo default. it very much sounds like the bird Marcel Felde never finished for Aerosoft (a reasonable conjecture) taken over by two well known Aerosoft developers, Hartman and Metzger (fact).

Yes the GOTY is free , but shiny new AC and new payware airports ; all I know is my wallet will be lighter . 😀

Am I the only one who can't get the tiniest bit excited about this upgrade unless it contains something I have missed?  I certainly have no intention of air racing.

In contrast all the world updates have been excellent and given me hours of pleasure.

I welcome the GOTY Porter.

I appreciate complex systems,  but personally I find Mil-Viz MSFS products visually unappealing.

The only technical advancement will be DX12 implementation. Yet to see if it will be a big advancement for users or not.....

You're getting a free update, for crying out loud and judging by all of the new add-ons quite a bit of new functionality.

Doesn't that excite you?

[Waldo Pepper 1,954]

Will GOTY planes be moddable?

 

[Fielder 3,871]

A good question about moddable default planes.

will be interested to try the F-18, although weapons won't be allowed on it - so not sure how this will work with the Top Gun addon

That'll tie in with the new movie, Top Winchester, with its theme song: Highway To The Not Particularly Dangerous Zone.

Including the hotfix for SU6, the rest is just fancy stuff... well, I have to say..., in my opinion.

Why are you lot so ungreatful. Lets not forget only the Microsoft product stack makes this game possible, on top of that they are dedicated to a 10 year development cycle with regular updates and news reports. It's a fantastic time in simulation right now for me personally and the updates in the GOTY edition are considerable and delivered my many different teams other than Microsoft and Asobo for completely free. Please show some respect!
